What is an absolute NECESSITY to pack in to your hospital bag for baby-mom-dad ???? I know some…

A Pregnancy belt. I had a c-section so it was super handy because it held my cut.

@mamaofzuri, ok hadn’t thought of shower stuff! 🤦🏻‍♀️ ill add that to my list!!

@joanna.marie939, did you buy online? I’ve been looking for one just in case i get c-section

Actually they have them at Target. My friend got it for me.

@mamaofzuri, ok ill be buying some comfy ones this week. I only have cute ones but not so comfy!

Going home outfits and shower stuff is literally all I used and if you plan on breastfeeding a boppy pillow is a must

@joanna.marie939, wow okay im going to have to check out target! I was looking at amazon but scared it wont get here soon enough!

Baby: going home outfit and car seat. Hospital provides everything else. Baby book if you want foot prints in it.

Dad: clothes bathroom stuff and maybe a blanket and pillow. Hospital blankets suck. Snacks and extra drinks.

You: a couple pairs of comfy clothes (shorts and pj pants) tank tops. Bathroom stuff. Blanket and pillow. I brought slippers or slipper socks ( hospital has those if you don’t) cell phone charger camera and charger if you’re going to use that instead of your phone.

I was happy to have my own towel and my own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I was also glad I brought a folder and a pen. We didn't really use anything that we brought for the baby though because the hospital had everything we needed. Also, black comfy sweat pants for me were a must for the ride home.

@brittany_s, my sister told me those are so unnecessary so i didn’t even add that to my Registry 😩 ill be getting one now tho because so many people have recommended it!

@db413, OMG! Ty so much!!!

@yesicondaa, It is just a belly support belt! Like one you can use while pregnant 🤰 it supports your belly but you can use it for C-section! That’s all I used mine for.

@aengs2, what did you need the folder and pen for?

@yesicondaa, There was a lot of paperwork to sign and a lot of documents to bring home. It was overwhelming.

@aengs2, ok thats smart! I love staying organized!

Chapstick. Even if you don't usually use it, bring some. Hospitals are so dry.

@yesicondaa, girl I still use mine everytime I breastfeed my son they help so much before I got mine I used to have to stack a bunch of pillows and blankets and stuff under my arms it’s definitely a need for me!

@yesicondaa, you definitely want a boppy if you plan on nursing! You will want to take it with you so your lactation consultant can teach you different holds with it.

@mokimbo, thats so true!! I just came out of the hospital and had chapped lips!

@brittany_s, @babieswomacks, thank you ladies!! Ill be getting one because i do plan on breastfeeding as much as possible!
