HOSPITAL BAG ESSENTIALS

I asked you guys what your “go-to” items were when preparing your hospital bag and here is what you said:

  • Chapstick

  • Slippers

  • Sleep/eye Mask

  • Snacks for you and hubby for the stay since your partner cannot leave (covid)

  • Your own pillow and blanket (for partner too)

  • Long charger for your phone (I’m going to link the portable charger I am OBSESSED with here when I round up my hospital bag essentials)

  • Ear plugs

  • Lanolin for your nipples

  • Lotion

  • Change for vending machine

  • Thick socks

  • Nursing bra

  • Hair ties / Hair brush

  • Make-up remover (I brought wipes because it’s just easier)

  • Frida mom disposable underwear (have to try these out- I used the ones the hospital gave me)

  • A change of clothes for you (loose fitting, do not recommend elastic) and for baby

  • SHOWER SANDALS (regretted not having these last time- woof)

  • PJs (going to link the most comfy pair that I have and am for sure brining because great for breast feeding too)

  • Robe

  • Nightgown

  • Nursing Tanks

  • Wash cloths

  • LMFAO THIS ANSWER WAS MY FAV: “No lie: we snuck booze in a thermos” lmfaooooo

  • Travel Shampoo/Conditioner (that first shower is literally the best feeling in the world)

  • FridaBaby PeriBottle (better than the one the hospital gives you)

  • A lot of people are saying you'r own hospital gown??

  • Eye patches (really make you feel alive in the morning) lol

  • Dry Shampoo

  • Deodorant

  • Razor

  • Toothbrush/Toothpaste

  • Nursing pillow

  • Many are saying sound machine - I personally didn’t bring one and probably will not ( I think it’s important for baby to learn to sleep with noise around them )

  • Baby velcro swaddle

  • Baby mittens

  • Your own towel (the ones they give you are so tiny)
