I'm writing up a checklist of things you might be able to take home from the hospital. The following is a list of items that were given to me through both of my hospital stays. Some moms suggest you bring an extra duffle bag for all the stuff you can take home!
for mom
- disposable underwear (too big so would rather wear my own depends/underwear)
- pads (not absorbent enough so would rather use my own)
- sitz bath (requested)
- donut (requested)
- dermoplast (requested)
- instant ice packs
- breast shells
- nipple shields
- nursing pads
- milk storage bags
- socks
- squeeze bottle
- toothbrush + toothpaste
- crabtree and evelyn travel size toiletries
- chanel gift bag (perfume, eye cream, eye shadow)
for baby
- standard hospital kimono onesie
- standard newborn caps
- standard hospital swaddle blankets
- formula
- disposable nipples
- diapers
- wipes (pretty much paper towels that you wet with water)
- digital thermometer
- bulb syringe
- comb
- disposable changing pads
- white ralph lauren romper
- huggies gift box of newborn diapers + wipes
What goodies did you receive from your hospital?
