What to pack in a diaper bag ?

Question

Hey ladies can you list a few essentials I should pack for the hospital for both myself and baby. Not packing for husband because the hospital is literally 2 minutes from our house (we can walk to it that’s how close it is) lol only taking a pillow and blanket for him and his toothbrush. 
Thanks in advance 🙌🏻
Going to start packing this upcoming week 😁

Answer

Baby needs next to nothing. All we packed for our daughter was a pacifier and a couple of outfits (and even then, our hospital provided onesies as well). Our hospital provided the diapers, wipes, formula, bath essentials, hats, swaddles, etc. Anything we needed for baby was already there. As for myself, I packed very minimally there as well. All I brought were a few pairs of high waisted workout pants, loose tops, a sweatshirt, socks, shower essentials/makeup/basic hygiene products, my MacBook, camera, and chargers for all devices. They provided pads and any other postpartum products I needed.

Answer

Change of clothes in case you don’t want to wear a hospital gown the whole time. I was in the hospital for 6 days so I was glad I had other clothes. Toiletry essentials. Phone charger. 
I may bring my own pillow this time. Last time I was there for so long, I would have been way more comfortable.
We also live only a couple miles from the hospital so my husband went home often to get whatever he needed.

Answer

Chapstick!!! Comfy clothes, charger. Boppy or something similar if you’re breastfeeding. Snacks.

Answer

For mama: 
Robe 
Chapstick 
Face wipes 
Fuzzy socks  
Dry shampoo 
 
For baby: 
A set of clothes to leave in 
The hospital gives you the rest!! They give you diapers, wipes, the nose plunger thingy, hair brush for baby, soap for baby.  They also give you disposable underwear and jumbo pads to go home with, soap solution to clean your lady bits with, and even a water bottle. They are amazing!
