What's in my Hospital Bag

Many first time moms like myself have no idea where to start when it comes to packing a hospital bag. There are so many items we could possibly take with us when it's time for the big show it can be a little overwhelming. With a little guidance from friends, family, midwives & research I decided to include the following items in my bag: (I'm sure there are items I could add or remove from this list)

• Makeup (I'd like to go in looking my best & of course be camera ready for family photos)

• Toiletries-toothbrush

• Robe

• Slippers

• Fuzzy Socks

• Comfy Pants

• Sweater (tip: go up a size for extra room; wearing going home)

• Phone Charger

• Birthing Plan

• Snacks (tip: high protein, carbs, electrolytes- items that can give you quick energy)

• Nipple Cream (first latch is typically standard after birth)

• Breastfeeding Hospital Gown

• Baby Outfits (tip: helps to bring different sizes since clothes fit differently; we are taking newborn & 0-3 months)

• Baby Blanket
