what did everyone pack in their hospital bag and babys hospital bag ? and if your SO stayed with you like mine is , what…

o lol well then he just needs a change of clothes to @princesssskxo

we dont live far but not close enough to be driving back and forth lol @rhia .

an outfit for myself and a few for my baby and some chap stick thats all I needed he didnt need anything because we live close to the hospital

gotcha . thank you @patientlyawaitingdalton !

I took two coloring books. A regular book and I had my portable DVD player

did yall bring books or something to pass time ? @patientlyawaitingdalton

Nursing bra (even if you're not breastfeeding), nursing pads, slippers, Chargers, laptop (optional), snacks for after delivery, Cami's, pants you could care less about (they will get messed up) or pajamas will do. Your own toiletries (they provide them, but that toothpaste tastes like pickle juice) And an outfit to go home in. And for baby, mittens, a hat or two, socks, coming home outfit, an outfit for pics of you're taking them. Everything else, the hospital provides. For SO, just clothes/pj's and he might wanna bring his own pillow

thank you !! @darianweaver

If you aren't sure, I say pack them! I'm not sure about your hospital but at ours, they provided us with a Halo swaddle sack and then sent us home with a brand new one! So awesome. We did our newspaper photo right before discharge, so he was in his own coming home outfit! If you're not sure about that as well, I'd just take the clothes you want for newborn pictures too. Better to have it and not need it than not have it when you do. :)

we have swaddle cloths but i didnt know if the hospital provided that as well . and do they let you change outfits for newborn pictures ? @darianweaver

my husband will have his mp3 player to listen to at night and my phone to play game's on. but if u like to read or do puzzles maybe take a book with u..

Literally all I used was clothes for my husband and I, toiletries for my husband and I, and our phone chargers. They gave me everything else I needed. For baby, we just needed an outfit to go home in, and a blanket we used to snuggle him in.

i wouldnt take one . i kept spitting it out , lol . @81516mommy2be .

@princesssskxo, my mom never yave any of hwr children a pacifier and we turned out fine lol

my mom said to bring stuff to make time pass but im afraid i wont use it and everyone is telling my fiancé to bring stuff too but i feel like he will be more into bonding with his son to do anything but theres times they will be taking him for shots , circumsizion , and whatnot @mrs.rcleveland .

im a ftm also. i didnt mean anything bad by the im simple thing. just i see a lot of woman go way to overboard when packing a hospital bag for just a couple days ..alot of hospitals will provide diapers, wipes, pads and mesh underwear and non slip socks.

i didnt say it wasnt simple . im a ftm and dont want to overdo it is all @mrs.rcleveland . and right , @81516mommy2be . my mom had a hard time getting my brother to stop sucking on one .

im simple. i only packed a night gown for me and non slip slippers, and will have a nursing bra and nursing pads and my toiletries (travel sized shampoo and soap and a few pads) and for baby i packed two dresses and two sleepers two pacifiers and a blanket. i also packed two diapers and pack of wipes for the ride home

@princesssskxo, pacifiers are okay, but its hard to lean them off of them..

were not using pacifiers as well unless we 100% have to ☺️ thank you , @81516mommy2be !

@princesssskxo, for me, I packed going home clothes, pjs, slippers or slipper socks, undies, pads (which ik hospital will provide), hair brush, toiletries, will pack a book and my phone/charger and snacks. for baby, I packed 2 pairs clothes, recieving blanket, and a few diapers along with wipes (hospital will provide those too), and some people pack pacifiers, but I'm not using them unless I have too.
