Hospital Bag Essentials

Honestly, I googled and googled this topic but when it came time most of the stuff I bought with me I didn’t use. Here is what I did need though.

For Yourself and Support Person

• Medical ID
• A night gown or really loose pj’s
• A loose outfit to go home in
• Adult diaper
• Socks
• Charging cord and phone
• Tooth brush and paste
• Mini shampoo and conditioner
• Hair bands

For Baby

• Two different size baby outfits
• Baby blanket
• Car seat
• Name card for announcement photographs

The hospital will supply diapers and wipes for the baby and will let you take some home with you. They also supply mothers with pads and mesh panties with lots of spares. Also, make sure you ask if you can take the babies hospital blanket home with you. It’s a great keepsake!
