I’m due May 20th with my first baby. I packed my bag at 30 weeks. However, after talking to my doctor recently about covid, I decided to really cut down on the number of things I was planning on bringing to reduce the chance of bringing germs home. My pillow, letter board for pictures, diaper bag with baby’s clothes/linens, and my boppie pillow are all staying home. We were also opted to pack canvas duffel bags instead of suite cases so everything can be put into the washing machine to be disinfected. Good luck with your baby! I’m having a little boy.☺️☺️☺️

You have the most realistic and helpful video I’ve seen for packing your hospital bag for baby and I. I’m 36 weeks and this is my first baby so not knowing what exactly to pack for baby and I (not wanting to take too much) had been so overwhelming! I’ve watched times of videos of “you’ll need this and that and yada yada” which is great but I’m looking for bare minimum being that we’re still dealing with Covid so it’ll just be my partner and I at the hospital and I don’t want to overwhelm ourselves with carrying so many bags while we have our little one to navigate through this maze of a hospital. So thank you so much, I’m convinced I too can pack for the three of us into one carryon luggage bag! Your video was also relatable being that you too were waiting to know baby’s gender. So thank you so much mamas, and congratulations to you and your little family on baby number three!!! I hope all is well and your recovery is going great! 💞💞💞

@foorlife632 Жыл бұрын

I am expecting #5 and I would still pack a full bag for baby. You can leave it in the car if you want, but have one just in case. I went from a routine stress test to an emergency induction with #3. I was full term and our son had the cord around his neck. He had a 7 day NICU stay. Because he was full term and not the typical premie the NICU didn't really have much of anything for him to wear. The unexpected can happen either at the hospital or the drive home. You could get stuck in traffic or make an unplanned stop. It's ok to be minimal for you but make sure you have everything for the baby. I also think it depends on the nurses that are taking care of you on how much you are sent home with. Some nurses loaded us up with stuff and others did not.

@dorothywheeler66 20 күн бұрын

I was told by my sister inlaw not to bring any clothes for the baby aside from the going home outfit.. I am glad I brought extra clothes because the "clothes" they said the hospital provide is like a crop top on him and we ended up staying 2days. I do not recommend not bringing extra clothes for you, your baby and uour husband. It is always best to have on hand.

I had a winter and a summer baby, both were C-section, both not planned. The nursing pillow is also really great for supporting your stomach after a C-section.

I’ve been told that he won’t have a place to sleep other than a stiff chair and if we’re there for a long time, he’ll get tired as well. We’re thinking of a thin camping mat we have and a sleeping bag. My husband keeps a sleeping bag in his car anyway. He was an Eagle Scout and big on preparedness lol.

Things I learned from my first two definitely bring snacks esp for dad, chapstick and gum/mints (dry mouth is real)! And our hospital only supplies bars of soap like the motels 🤢. So now I know to bring my own. That after birth shower is heaven.

Only thing I would add is a reusable bag or something you can put extra hospital freebies in. Something that you can fold and put in your carry on and when it’s time to come home you take it out, fill it up and take all the stuff given to you. That’s all! ❤️👍🏼

Every hospital and place is different. My hospital in Boston gave me mostly everything but if you want specific brand ( they gave us Johnson baby soap, I know most people don’t like that) I would bring it. Also I have heard for people go in and they have NOTHING for them at the hospital. I think it depends on your personality. I am an over packer and I don’t mind having an extra bag with us for just in case stuff. Like a diaper bag should always be with you. Walking out of the hospital my son spit up, I needed wipes and a change of clothes and other things that were in my diaper bag. Also c section is always an option so extra can come in handy. You can go from staying a day or two or five if something happens.

@@gagasfan1 first of all f anybody who tells you you're a bad mom for feeding your baby. Second I do live in Germany I know in my hospital they were really relaxed about it. No one gave me the idea they were against it no one told me to reconsider. I had a doula and I talked to her about my choice (she needed to know because it would determine if she would have to do more after visit as German women who have a doula have the right to 1 year of breast feeding advice so she will support you in your journey) I told her I wanted to bottle feed she said thats fine and adviced me on different formulas and their variations. That all said, my choice had to do with my mental health. A happy and relaxed mom is a happy and relaxed baby. If bottle feeding is doing that for you then more power to you. Also small tip formula (at least in Germany/Europe im sure it's the same for america) it's all made to the same standards. Basic formula is made to fit any babys needs. Lots of stuff they advertise to "add" to premium formula is bullshit as the baby cannot process it yet, certain things the baby can't even properly break down without milk bacteria from mothers milk. So just stick to the simple formula it has everything your little one needs by default. Don't get slapped in the face by Marketing and them pushing your guilt buttons. I'm sorry this is so long tho hahaha

Not all hospitals throw the pillows away by the way! The hospital I worked at earlier this year used pillows that were plastic basically so you take the pillow case off and then sanitize the whole pillows plastic outside with a purple wipe before letting the chemical dry and then we had a pillow closet they stored well in. It’s too expensive for them to throw them away so they make them as sanitizable as possible to avoid that cost. But that’s also why they suck, the stuffing is never comfy and it’s thick plastic to lay on so they’re the worst from patient perspective.

About to have my 6th baby. I agree with everything she mentioned. The only thing I might add is a heating pad. Especially if you've had more than one child and have experienced afterbirth contractions. For me they are horrendous and the hospital heating pad is a crazy contraption that just doesn't work well. I am packing that along with an extention cord.

Life hack for toiletries! Clean out some used mio bottles (those water flavor things) and twist then open. You can use them for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotions. Smaller than filling up the 3 oz travel bottles, cheaper than buying trial sizes, and you get some yummy water flavors for a while before it's done.

Thanks for this video 👏🏼👏🏼 very helpful Q, did you find that taking a carry-on with everyone's stuff (baby, mom, dad) was better than taking 2 bags (mom/baby & dad)? Just trying to gauge if a carry-on looks a bit much 😅 I tend to overpack & I really aim to pack minimally... thanks!

A good tip is to always check with your hospital what they offer postpartum, my hospital dosent offer dermaplast, tucks pads. They only offer mesh underwear and pads. No breast feeding supplies other than a medical grade pump you can borrow! ❤
