[Rena2089]

it's a bit different here in the UK they not as willing to help as much so I pack a few bits but I didn't go mad purely because I don't want two massive bags

My hospital provides everything for baby. I only take an outfit car seat to come home in. The hospital gives u the diapers they use or open n wipes. They have binkies. But you could take you own. My boys wouldn't use the hospital one. Then you just need stuff for mom. All shower stuff clothes. My hospital provides pads n things as well. I don't take a mess load of stuff bc as I said my hospital provides mostly what you need.

Don't forget the phone charger. You and your partner will be calling a lot of people to tell them the good new and maybe using your phone as your camera and it will die quickly. And batteries for actual camera

Lol..half the things u wont need, thats if u even really open your bags. Recommend only bring small bag inside w/u. camera, batteries, charger, list of names an # for partner to contact. Partner snacks. slipper socks, light robe. partner swimming shorts if u plan on being in shower during labor, hard candies to suck on. After u get to postpartum rm then bring other small bag, tooth brush, shamp,cond, makeup..lol. chg of clothes that u cld fit around 6 mon. baby 2 outfits, binki, blanket, receiving blanket, socks, hat, mittens.babies tend to scratch face sometimes nails are long. Good luck

I agree with Mrs_MP3. No need to worry urself with all the extra things. To each its own but they supply everything. I jus have the babies lotion cause I like a certain brand a go home outfit and a outfit for her pics they take.

[Mrs_MP3]

Your not going to need or use half the things suggested on this post. For mom, I recommend you own pads, toiletries, a pair of pj's, and an outfit to go home in. For baby, go home outfit and car seat is all you'll need...the hospital provides absolutely everything you need all the way down to the bottles, diapers, onesies, burping cloths, etc. To be honest, if you went with nothing, you'll still be ok...they are prepared for you.

[drained1sttimemom]

Breast pump in case your milk doesn't come in right away. And bottles.

[justmel1986]

You don't need to take bottles but I would just incase as I know a few people that their babies didn't take to it straight away and they were force fed with a syringe.

[justmel1986]
