Hospital Bag Checklist for Mum and Baby
Firstly we would like to wish you a huge CONGRATULATIONS!
If your due date just around the corner, make sure your hospital bag is packed and ready. Ideally, you should have your bag ready to go by 37 - 38 week mark, just in case you go into labour before your due date.
Here is a handy checklist that should help you get started.
- Portable speaker for your relaxing labour playlist
- Cozy socks + slippers
- Breast pads
- Robe + PJ's
- Loose, comfy clothes
- LOTS of undies
- Nursing bras
- Nipple cream // if you plan on b/f - this will come in handy as you and your baby get the hang of it
- Pillow
- Toiletries // that first shower...ahhhhhh *insert ALL of the heart eyes*
- Maternity pads
- A bag for dirty laundry
- Phone charger
- Going home outfit
