So naturally it starts with a list. I am using modified version of the one I used last time.
For baby
- 3 sleepsuits plus one for going home
- 3 short-sleeved vests
- 3 long-sleeved vests
- hat
- snowsuit
- 3 muslins plus one giant muslin
- 10 new baby nappies
- nappy disposal bags
- new born baby wipes
- blanket
- cotton wool pads
- Bethanthen cream
- 2 Aptamil baby formula (in case the breastfeeding doesn’t work out)
And then for my bag:
Inside this huge bag, are smaller bags to make it easier to find things.
In the flat spotty bag:
- Notepad and pencil
- Headphones
- Phone charger
- Charging unit
- Purse (will be packed last minute)
- Maternity notes (will be packed last minute)
- Phone (will be packed last minute)
In the large spotty bag:
All my clothes for during the labour and afterwards including:
- Nursing nightwear
- Dressing gown
- Slippers
- Going home clothes
- The nightie I wore when Evelina was born
- Bed socks
In the red toiletry bag:
- Shampoo / conditioner / shower cream
- Moisturiser
- Lip balm
- Water spray
- Hair brush / grips / bobble
- Deodorant
- Make-up (yeah right!)
- Toothbrush and paste
And at the bottom of the bag is a pillow from home as the ones in hospital are not great especially with the waterproof covers.
