It’s getting closer to that time (9 weeks, 2 days to be exact) when I am itching to pack my hospital bag even more than usual but I have realised I needto know exactly what I need to get for it so here is my list. If there is anything you would recommend please do let me know 🙂
For me:
- Maternity Pads
- Breast Pads – I have a bought of superdrug ones, tommee tippee ones I got with my breast pump and at the mothercare event, but I plan on getting the Lansinoh ones too as heard such great things about them
- Lansinoh nipple cream
- 1 pack of cotton briefs that I can dispose of
- 1 pack of disposable pants just in case
- 2x nightdresses
- 2x nursing/button up pyjamas
- a lightweight dressing down
- warm socks and/or slippers
- iPod with hypnobirthing soundtrack
- iPad for entertainment purposes & iPhone & charger
- flipflops for shower
- large fluffy towel & facecloth
- Nivea travel set of toiletries this includes: facewipes, lipbalm, deodorant, mouisturiser
- Toothbrush & toothpaste
- Hair brush, hair bobbles and kirby grips
- Massage oil
- Mini hand held fan
- Water spray
- Nursing bras
- Support Pillow
- Going home outfit – undecided but will be something very comfy
- Drinks & snacks
- Change for car park & hospital if needed
For baby:
- A pack of nappies
- A pack of waterwipes
- Cotton wool balls
- Nappy bags
- I have a little toiletry set by johnsons for newborns with nappy cream & wash if allowed to use/needed & a changing mat, I thought would be useful for the hospital
- Teddy
- Blanket
- 2x swaddles
- 4x sleepsuits in both newborn & 0-3 month sizes
- 2x going home sets one in newborn size and one in 0-3 months, both have matching hats, vests, sleepsuits, bibs and one even has a blanket and cardigan. These outfits are undecided but I think they will be the ones we go for.
- Mitts
- A pack of muslin cloths
- Car seat
Snacks & Drinks are still undecided but will definitely include:
- Small sport size bottles of water
- Lucozade sport drinks
- Cereal bars – probably my favourite of nutrigrain elevenses
- Chocolate covered raisins – if my obsession with them continues
When my bag is actually packed I will do a further blog post, possibly a vlog
