What does or doesn't the hospital provide when you have a baby. I know most hospitals cut out the baby pictures. Anyone know ?

Everything in Winnipeg HSC Women's except a baby hat at birth. Also no snacks or food for spouse or support, otherwise we had diapers, blankets, faceclothes (as wipes), food for me and snacks.

My hospital provided everything you would need,you could even ask for some formula to take home. Abbotsford hospital.
And they have the best maternity ward with private rooms and my favorite part the snack fridge filled with sandwiches,cookies,yogurts juice , and milk. :)

My hospital had a list on their website and it said to bring diapers, wipes, pads, all that stuff but they actually provided it all so we ended up wayyy over packing. They let us take home a bunch of hats, Vaseline, gave him a Hawaii Gumdrop soother, and we were having to use a bit of formula already at the hospital and the nurse gave us 2 boxes of ready to feed and a bag full of disposable nipples. The nurse even told me to grab some of the disposable undies and jumbo pads to bring home with me. I can't say anything but amazing things about the Queensway Carleton Hospital in Ottawa.

I was over prepared.. I brought our own diapers.. They have diapers, wipes, cream.. All the basic stuff for baby. We just needed to bring clothes and blankets.
They also provides pads for women during your stay, they even sent some home with me.

Where I am in BC, I was given a jumbo ziplock bag with some heavy-duty pads, regular pads, bed-pads, 6 diapers, dry wipes (to wet with water), mini soap, colace & ibuprofen. I also got to keep his little knitted toque, and a mini teddybear.

My hospital had cloth diapers to use while we were there and blankets to use while we were there. Nothing to keep. I had to supply my own hat. I got pads and those puppy pad things for myself though

My hospital had a cart that the bassinet sat on that was fully stocked with diapers, wipes, blankets. And a nurse would come everyday and restock the cart it was great. We only had to bring clothes.

My hospital gave me nipple cream baby soap and lotion and a hat. I also accidentally took the blanket they "gave" her when she was born.

Sometimes hospitals have the list of what you need to bring and what they supply on their website. I know some hospitals have web tours of the unit and information for patients right on line.

We only got a hat... We were able to take diapers and water soaking pads and petroleum jelly but other than that nothing was supplied. We also got a couple onesies. That's nanaimo bc.

I don't think my hospital provides anything other than the hat and blanket. In the pregnancy journal I got they gave me a list of things to bring for me and the baby.

My hospital st paul ab had wipes, diapers, blankets, Vaseline, nipple cream samples, breast pads, pads, a hat to take home and those nightgowns for babies that tie in the front. You didn't need to bring anything there! I was truly impressed

My hospital provided only a hat to take home. But you can use their cloth diapers, wipes. And Vaseline. Everything else is up to you.

Depends what hospital...my hospital provides a complete list of things you should bring. The list is online.

You should call the maternity ward at the hospital you will be delivering at. Every hospital is different.
