When I was pregnant, I Googled every bag packing list to make sure I had EVERYTHING that was needed in my bag and I wanted to pass along to you Moms-to-be. I brought one bag for my things and a diaper bag for the baby: Mommy Bag:
- 2 pairs of pajama bottoms (larger sized ones)
- 1 pair of sweats (one’s that are not tight on the waist)
- 1 loose sweatshirt
- 2 long sleeve t-shirts (ones that will have easy access for breastfeeding)
- 6 pairs of larger sized cheap underwear (yes 6 might have been excessive but better safe than sorry)
- Slippers (I wouldn’t bring good one’s – remember you are walking around on gross hospital floors) or flip flops
- Breast feeding pillow
- Hair elastics
- Your own pillow (hospital pillows suck)
- Video Camera
- Camera
- iPad if you have one (I am truly happy I had mine – was so bored while waiting) or magazines
- Lip balm
- 2 pairs of socks
- Nursing bra
- 1 pack of thick overnight pads
- Breast pads
- Toiletries (mini shampoos/conditioners/toothbrush/toothpaste/hair brush – the ususal)
- Your email list so your hubby can send out the birth announcement (I still have ours on my phone)
Diaper Bag
- 3 sleepers (I brought the one’s with hand covers – those baby nails are like mini daggers)
- The hospital will give you swaddle blankets while you are there, but I brought 2 of my own
- Winter babies, have the bundle me in your car seat
- A stack of diapers
- 2 baby hats
- Vaseline
- 2 onesies
Best of luck! T. xo
