What to pack for c-section and baby in nicu

Question

Second time mom but First time c-section. What are things I should pack? I am not having a routine procedure as i have previa and acreeta. Having surgery at 34 weeks so baby will be in nicu. Any suggestions on what I need to pack for baby?

Answer

This will be my second c-section and NICU stay. I wouldn’t bring a thing for baby but maybe 1 preemie sleeper depending on how well baby does. Once my baby make it out of the top level of the NICU, I did bring Aquaphor to prevent diaper rash. They only get changed at set intervals not like at home when you change baby when they’re wet. 
As for c-section I only needed my depends and the provided squirt bottle for the first day of peeing on my own to help me release the pee after the catheter. You don’t need half the products needed for a vaginal birth.

Answer

NICU has everything including shampoo, diapers, wipes, buttpaste etc. We did a 4 month NICU stay

Answer

I hope everything goes good for you and the baby. When my little guy was in the nicu( in 2006) I wasn’t allowed to bring in anything for him until the day he got to go home. At that point it was an outfit, blanket and the car seat. They don’t like things being brought in due to the higher risk of the babies catching something since their  immune systems are lower.

Answer

I believe that they provide everything for baby in the nicu, but I could be wrong. I hope everything goes ok for you. You are both in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻
