Items I used:
For the birth:
Absolutely nothing. (Make sure you have a hair tie or headband of some sort and your camera if you're not using a photographer) we brought our bag into the birthing room and did not get one thing out of it. Next time I'll wait to bring it in until we are settled in post partum.
For post partum:
-pajamas for each day (my mom and I have a tradition of shopping for new pajamas for the hospital stay and this time I got these from motherhood maternity in black and also in a pretty floral design. They are the most comfy jammies ever.:
-Nursing tanks for each day (I use motherhood maternity. I typically like a size medium but this time around I bought some size large nursing tanks so I wouldn't feel so squished with my post partum belly!)
-New this time around, a robe! So glad I invested in a robe this time as I've worn it daily since we've come home too. I bought this one in medium from pink blush. They always have coupon codes on Instagram!:
-children's book for visitors to sign. Don't forget the pen/marker. We purchased this book for Rawlings:
-face wash, olay face wipes, body wash, toothbrush and paste
-I use my boppy a good bit while nursing in the hospital
-extra long cell phone charger
-water flavor and Spark
For baby:
-a couple sleepers
-personalized shirt or outfit
-swaddle blanket (not a necessity for me)
-burp cloth (handy to have around)
Things I brought and didn't use:
-straightener and curling iron
-iPad
-breast pads
-makeup
Things I didn't bring but will next time:
-an empty bag/tote for goodies you might accumulate while in the hospital (newborn info folder, gifts, etc)
