I have found packing for hospital one
of the more stressful aspects of getting ready for the birth. What to
take, how much to take, do I pack it all in one bag or take two
smaller bags. The questions are endless. Below is what I have decided
to take in with me when I go into labour (hopefully very soon) with
Minifootsteps. I have opted for one bag as daddyfootsteps doesn’t
drive so my mam will be taking us in meaning we can't really leave a
bag in the car.
You can find my checklist here
Items for Minifootsteps/the baby
Firstly my favourite item – his first
teddy bear, vests (2 x short sleeve and 2 x long
sleeve), 2 x cardigans, 3 x sleep-suits, coming home outfit, 2 spare baby grows, scratch mits, 3 x hats, socks, 2 x bibs, nursing sheet, blanket, baby towel, dummies (to be sterilised and added)
Items for baby bum
Nappies, wet wipes (after reading this article
my scientific brain has decided he is having wipes), mini Sudocream/Johnsons baby nappycream, cotton wool just incase, nappy bags
Feeding items
Nursing pads, milk (just in case as I currently
have a UTI), dummy
Items for mammy
Underwear – a wide selection, labour clothes, coming home clothes, PJ's, maternity pads, slippers, face cream, body wash, body lotion (to be used to massage
my back), lip balm, hair balm, shampoo and conditioner, toothbrush and toothpaste, face wipes,airbrush and hair bobbles.
P.s I actually ended up adding items to
the bag after photographing everything so it was useful for me to
write this post. Hope you enjoyed reading it.
