Heading to target later on tonight to start getting my post partum needs. Anything I should get other than pads, nipple cream, and nipple pads?
a nipple shield..it's less than 5 bucks, just in case breastfeeding is painful
@andrewsmommy, yes it's always freezing in there i took body spray as well lol
@inezhernandez19 oh yeah every hour I kept asking for a new warm blanket lol deff bringing my own this time
socks !! and hair ties lol i took blankets cause it gets cold in there 😭
@mi.mommy how nice! Our nurse was so sweet she just told me to take everything lol a new pack of pads, the receiving blankets, all the diapers they keep in that bed that holds the baby, the nipple creams and even socks lol
I got everything from the hospital - I even asked for nipple pads 😅. The only thing I bought myself was nipple cream!
If you can, buy the nurses some cupcakes or cookies - let hubby or a visitor bring them as a thank you to the nurses! After that, they shower you with things! We got diapers and wipes etc for the first couple days and a full box of pads - they were all so sweet!
@mi.mommy i still have the water bottle they gave me from my first birth. They give most the stuff but I forgot what it was lol
Oh okay lol. I had to go buy big ones bc the ones I had were uncomfortable lol.
@lilianasmommy2016 lol after my son I wore boy short kind until the ppb was done.
Most things you will get from the hospital (if it is a hospital birth)!
I had witch hazel pads, preparation H 🤕, a hospital spray (I forgot the name), female pads, hospital underwear, baby wipes, a little bottle to clean myself down there after every bathroom visit, nipple cream, nipple pads and a plastic cup (Every time I wanted to sit down, I could accidentally pee - really annoying the first days)
Underwear.. like big ones. I had to buy some comfortable ones lol.
so whats the best type of nipple pads to get to put in my bra?
Good non expensive nursing pads and nipple cream??
embarrassing registry items?
Maybe I'm the only one slightly embarrassed by it. Did you put things on your registry like nipple cream, breast/nipple pads? Or did you leave those items off and just purchase them yourself?
What pads did you guys use after delivery? I was looking to get the always overnight ones
How long
Have you been on bb/pink pad/kidfolio?
@vark yes deff that also.
