Our Hospital Bags
I posted this picture on instagram of me packing our hospital bags and I got lots of requests to share what I packed! I haven’t delivered yet, so I don’t know if I over packed or missed some things, but we will see soon! I just took recommendations from friends and online. So here’s what I did!
For Me:
· Nursing friendly Pajamas I packed this exact set (ON SALE!) and I LOVE them! I also love these, these and these as well!
· Going home outfit-loose Tee and sweat pants or Dress I packed this dress because its so comfortable and it’s too hot outside for anything else!
· Warm Socks These are the socks I packed because they’re warm and cute!
· Flip-flops for shower I bought both mine and my husbands from walmart for 98 cents!
· Nursing Bra I packed this one and I love it!
· Belly Bandit I’ve heard great things about this and can’t wait to try it!
· Makeup
· Nursing Pads The Lactation Specialist I took a class from recommended these pads. They’re reusable and lessen the risk of infection
· Nipple Cream This is the one I packed. My friends recommended it.
· Comb/brush I swear by this brush. I couldn’t live without it.
· Hair ties
· Toothbrush and toothpaste
· Shampoo and Conditioner (travel size)
· Deodorant (travel size)
· Makeup Wipes (travel size)
· Dry Shampoo (travel size)
· Phone Charger
· Camera, memory card and charger
· Extension cord

Awesome list! I'd recommend more snacks for dad, and a pillow and blanket in the car that he could grab if needed. Our hospital had everything for me, but my poor husband could barely get a decent pillow!
Thank you sharing!! Where did you get your makeup/toiletries bag? I love the color.
Thanks for sharing! Your suggestions have got me going crazy adding things to my list. Love your diaper bag as well.. thinking I may go with that one for my baby boy!
Aww!! I'm getting so excited for you guys!! 😀
Love the list and the links! I definitely recommend a good pillow and comfy blanket for dad, I know I wanted the room super cold after giving birth and my hubby was freezing and didn't want to ask for a blanket. Lol Also, that same travel system is on Amazon for much cheaper and if you have prime, shipping is free 🙂
