Diaper bag : HAPP - Swaddle: LITTLE UNICORN - Bib: LITTLE UNICORN - Onesies: BABY GAP - Anti Scratch Mittens: DARLYNGANDCO
As a mom of soon to be two kids, I have now learned what I do and don’t need. Today I am sharing what to pack in your hospital bag. I have gotten many requests and questions on what to pack in your hospital bag, so I’m spilling the beans and everything I am packing in my bag today! Hopefully, I don’t forget anything. Fingers crossed! You should pre-register at your hospital. Now, I am not sure if it’s like that in all states or even hospitals, but I had to pre-register for my hospital. Once you have done that, you want to make sure you pack your drivers license, insurance card, and any paperwork. *Pre-wash your nursing clothes with baby’s detergent! *
For baby:
Not much. The hospital will have everything you need from diapers, and so on. But I am bringing: -Two adorable outfits, hat, and receiving blanket (for pictures). -Going home outfit. -Mitten’s from DarlyngandCo, so he doesn’t scratch his little face. (use code LIGHTSPLUSHEAVEN for 10% off). -Baby book to get his hand-prints and footprints! -Car seat (that’s already installed in the car ready to go).
What to bring for yourself: -Your birth plan (if you have one!) -Your must-haves like: glasses, contacts, toothbrush, floss, hair brush, hair tie, lotion (I would go with a non scented lotion since baby will be laying on you and you don’t want a strong scent). -Makeup: I’m bringing my light coverage foundation, my glow palette, under-eye concealer, and a lip balm. -Nursing bras. (I stocked up on several from Kohl’s). -Nightgowns and pj’s, ones that are nursing friendly! I am bringing two ! -Underwear! Many women like the mesh underwear that the hospital gives you, I, however, DO NOT. I prefer a snug fit. -Pads- go ahead and stock up on your favorite ones.
-Nursing/Carseat cover from ITZYRITZY.
Last but not least, here are a couple of things to remember to pack, or get sorted before your hospital stay: -Phone Charger -Camera (and all the right chargers) if you’re going to be taking pictures. -Speaking of pictures…if you can, hire a photographer to either shoot the labor and/or the first 24 hours. -Flipflops for the hospital! -Gifts for the sibling.
There you have it, that is what to pack in the hospital bag. If you have any questions let me know, or if you have any other suggestions comment below so I can add to the list! Thank you for stopping by, and have a great day!
