Do you have to wash everything before the baby comes? I know clothes are the necessity because they…

i washed everything.

I washed everything... Clothes, sheets, blankets , burp rags , wash cloths , towels , bottles , pacifiers

Me personally i am going to wash everything including towels etc. even though they came from the store they were packaged, traveled , handled by so many ppl. Could have even fell on the floor at one point . But that's my anal mind 😊

yup, pretty much washed everything before putting on my baby, since she's a preemie.

Ok thanks ladies! Appreciate it! @juliagail09 @littlemissemma6915 @sassymama29

My son got a rash from one of his receiving blankets, then it turned into a heat rash... I'd wash everything just to be safe

Aw how many weeks were you when she was born? @jrg6515 yea I'm definitely going to wash everything now! Thanks!

@mssjudyk, oh no! Do I have to worry about hospital blankets? Or do they let you use your own if you bring them?

I was 29 going on 30 weeks. yes! wash wash wash. @aboutellesbabe better safe than sorry.

I have already washed everything. Hats, clothes, sheets, towels. Pretty much everything that will be in contact with her directly

you don't have to worry about hospital ones but u can definitely take your own!

also suggest u take your boppy pillow with u... if you're gonna breast feed

@mssjudyk, ok I'll probably take my own and that's a good idea I actually got two from my baby shower so I'll def bring that. Also, kind of off topic (andd might be a stupid question) but do hospitals give the babies stuff to wear while they are staying there? I mean I have clothes but in case I'm not home when I go into labor or something? All these things are like racing through my mind haha

I agree with @littlemissemma6915... I washed EVERYTHING even stuffed animals, crib bedding, sheets paci's all of it lol

yes, it's a little shirt, they don't recommend onsies till their umbilical cord falls off, mainly because the onsie could irritate it or even cause damage and rip it off. they provide you with a hat and pampers along with wipes. if you wanna take your baby the sponge bath they provide you with the stuff to do it.

they also provide you with nipple cream and a nipple shield (you have to ask for these things)

they provide you with a spray to numb you down there in case you rare as well as hemroids pads..

they give you disposable undies and pads (their pads are not comfy, may I suggest bringing your own, if you do make sure it's for heavy flows.)

Oh they also provide you with i forgot what it's called but it's to take their boogers out

@mssjudyk, thanks you've been so helpful!

you can also call the L&D department at your hospital and ask exactly what it is that they provide you with. just so you're 100% sure

you're most welcome!
