A fool proof, super easy hospital bag list. X1 packet of newborn nappies (some hospitals in Australia will provide your first packet if private)īath products if you wish (I would advise just water this stage but totally optional)
X1 packet of baby wipes (try & get water based unscented ones OR the good old cotton balls and warm water) X2 hats (super important for day 1 at least) Pen & Paper for all the annoying paperwork and million questions you will have to ask your midwifeĪny current medication you are taking (very important to tell/give your midwife this info)
Hair elastics (they miraculously go missing during labour and caesarians believe me) Choose a rear-facing car seat that meets the latest safety standards and is suitable for your newborn’s size and weight. Your baby will need one the moment you ride home from the hospital and for every car ride thereafter. X6-8 pairs of Undies because believe me, you can never have enough (buy black grandma ones!!!) A car seat is one of the most important essentials on our newborn baby checklist. X4 Leggings/trackies (yep the same reason you needs pads, pads & pads) X3-4 feeding singlets (Kmart & Target have these for a bargain) X1 box/packet of breast pads (if you plan on b/f) Pads, Pads & Pads (X3 packets of maternity) – believe me you need them If you are public it is super easy just halve the clothing: Please note this is what I suggest my patients pack for their stay in a private hospital (generally 4-5 nights). No more racking your brain, raiding your drawers, forgetting to ask your midwife or doctor or waking up with it on your mind – it is all listed below! You cannot go wrong with this! Stress no more! My list below of the basics & essentials to bring to hospital will be one less thing you have to worry about. The one that you will repack 20 times and STILL be sure you have forgotten something. Slip-on mules or slider-style slippers are an easy choice for post-birth, but if you get very cold feet our snug slipper boots are easy to pull on.The all important hospital bag. Keep your feet comfortable with a pair of slippers. Choose from our spa-worthy waffle robe, fluffy fleece robes and our Sumptuously Soft lounge robe. If you’re nervous about feeling a bit exposed on the maternity ward or when you have visitors, it’s worth bringing a robe with you. If you’re staying in hospital a little longer, our multi-pack nightdresses will come in handy.
If you really feel the chill, try a cosy lounge dress – we love this uplifting slogan style. We've got the parenting tips and information you need to raise a happy, healthy family. Choose from long-sleeved and short-sleeved options in a host of prints and colours.Ī Sumptuously Soft chemise nightdress or jersey T-shirt nightdress are also a handy choice both pre- and post-birth. From choosing baby's name to helping a teenager choose a college, you'll make so many decisions along the way. Button-down PJs are a pretty and practical choice, particularly if you choose to breastfeed. Most women will have to stay in hospital for at least one night after giving birth, so cosy nightwear is a must.
