what I packed in my bag:
travel-sized toiletries
make-up: powder foundation and mascara (I always wear these two items even when I’m sick)
hairbrush, hairspray, hair ties, bobby pins
nursing tank and nursing bra
loose pair of yoga pants to wear home
flip flops (for the shower)
lanolin cream (this is a MUST if you are breastfeeding!!!!)
also brought the Boppy but left it in our car until after LO was bornin my husband's backpack, we also packed:
camera, iPad, video camera and chargers for everything
change for vending machines
snacks (Goldfish, trail mix packs, granola bars, fruit snacks) & Vitamin Waters -
All of the above are great suggestions! I also brought along a button-down pajama top for easy nursing.
-
Boppy! And I have to say nightgowns instead of pjs.... With all the vagine-inspecting that goes on, you know.
-
Lanolin
Phone
Phone charger
Going home clothes
"Gift" for toddler big sis from babyThose were the crucial ones for me. Even though it was full of other stuff! Like toiletries, haha!
-
We packed so much stuff, but the stuff I was so glad we had was a pillow from home (hospital pillows are terrible!), the boppy, cell phone and charger, and camera. My hospital gave us toiletries, and I had no desire to wear my own clothes, wore the hospital gown until the morning I was discharged. Oh, but I was so glad to put on a sports-bra like nursing bra, I hated having the girls hanging free.
-
I packed a long sleep tee from target and loose yoga type pants. I thought I'd wear the pants more but didn't get out of the sleep tee for two days! It was nice to have two options,
Medela lanolin! I think it's called nipple therapy.
-
boppy pillow
toiletries
hairbrush and blowdryer
nightgown (i changed out of the hospital gown after birth)
slippers and robe
going home clothes
cell phone and charger
i second the sports-bra like nursing bra
snacks, OJ or anything with electrolytes -
I would say: flip flops for sure, deodorant/ make up to feel like a normal person, and camera!!!
-
Being able to shower and put on my own clothes the next day made me feel sooo much better, so I'd pack your toiletries, flip flops for the shower, and some comfy yoga pants.
Also, pack some snacks for the hubby.
-
Personally, there were a lot of things I brought that I didn't use. The hospital gave me socks, lanolin, toiletries, and probably other stuff I can't remember. I did use the toiletries that I brought, just to make me feel more normal. The other things I really used were phone/iPod charger, music, and Boppy (stayed in the car until we moved to postpartum unit). I also brought a couple different outfits for me to wear home, because I didn't know how I would feel.

DRY SHAMPOO AND DOVE WIPES! I had a section so couldnt shower for like 3 days (so gross.) Dry shampoo kept me looking nice for all the pics. And the dove wipes helped when I felt gross from not showering.
Phone/Charger
ipad/laptop
camera
Belly Bandit

I forgot to mention to bring an empty duffle bag - if your hospital is like ours, they let us take so much stuff home...diapers and wipes for LO and then pads and mesh undies for me. Plus we were given a lot of paperwork and pamphlets, and we ended up with a lot of gifts from visitors so an extra bag would have been helpful when we left!
