Any suggestions on what to pack in your hospital bag (what made you comfortable?)

Panties (hospital issue is a mesh nightmare) Pjs Socks Robe 4-5 onsies Toiletries A blanket Entertainment (DVDs, CDs, books) A baby blanket Leaving outfits for you and little one (you are not gonna want to wear anything tight, go for tights) Babycenter.com has a decent checklist I used for both of mine.

Pillows and snacks

Toothbrush and toothpaste. Deodorant. Snacks. Nursing top. Anything that will make you feel human again (makeup, Chapstick, a favorite lotion, etc.). Comfy pants.

I went into labor completely unexpected and had nothing packed at all and I honestly didn't need anything except clothes for when I was discharged (I was comfortable staying in the hospital gown since I was bf) so there's no true necessity just whatever you feel you'd want to keep you happy and comfortable

If you'd like to send your email address I would be glad to email you my spreadsheet. One MUST: a cozy robe. I loved having that after my girl was born. I didn't weR the hospital gown at all.

I ended up having a c section and was so glad to have my own shampoo and soap, lotion. Def a tank top or nursing top. I had a ton of visitors and trying to undo the hospital gown to nurse was a pain. Oh and pads. I only used the bulky ones for a day.

All of the above but make sure u download an app to your phone for tracking diaper changes and feedings,.. Something I didn't think of until I got home and it is soooo handy! Wish someone told me before baby was here,.. I have baby connect... Cost me a few dollars but it tracks everything imaginable!

Definitely don't forget Chapstick. Also, I brought my normal shampoo, conditioner, deodorant and body lotion to use in the hospital. I wanted my baby to learn my smell right away as opposed to smelling like the hygiene products the hospital supplies.

Shampoo, conditioner, Chapstick, lotion, body wash, deodorant, toothbrush and paste, phone charger, comfy clothes, slippers, and the best thing I packed were instant ice packs for labor and delivery. Pushing is exhausting and hubby kept an ice pack on my head or neck the whole time. Really helped! I brought 6 and used 5 in 45 minutes... Lol.

I didn't pack till I was in labor so I paled my bag quickly. In it had pants, nursing tanks, breast pads, toothbrush for me and husband, gum, underwere. Baby take home outfits My mom brought latter on my boppy and swadlers since it made it easier for my daughter to hold him.

I made sure to have comfy pjs! I breastfed so I made sure they were button up! I brought a comfy pillow! Slippers are great! Your own toiletries. A blanket from home.

Shampoo, Conditioner, hair brush and hair ties, toothbrush. Nursing pillow if your breastfeeding. Something comfortable to wear home. You can bring slippers but some hospitals want you to wear their socks.

And as for the maxi pads, you'll bleed after and they have pads there but if there is a kind you prefer bring those!

The hospital I went they had maxi pads. I would bring your own hygiene stuff(shampoo, soap.. Etc) my hubby was allowed to take a shower so bring cloths for him also.

Slippers, tooth brush/tooth paste, hair care products (brush, own shampoo/conditioner) body wash, a book, your own pads (hospital pads are horrid! Lol) clean clothes (bring extras for yourself and hubby just in case) snacks. I was in the hospital for 5+ days with both my babies....so I always over prepare.
