The hospital bags are packed and we are ready to meet these babies! It feels like just yesterday that I was packing up for our hospital stay to have Liam and here I am doing it again for our second and third! What you pack in your hospital bag is a pretty personal decision. Some people like a lot of creature comforts and to pack more than they may need, some people keep it really simple or don’t even pack a bag. I’m somewhere in the middle, erring on the side of being pretty low maintenance when it comes to what I bring. When Liam was born, we weren’t allowed any visitors, so I stayed in my hospital gown for 90% of our time. This time around, we can have people come to the hospital, so I’m packing a couple of options to help myself feel just a little pulled together. Plus, I don’t know how long our stay will be, but I’m operating on the assumption that it will be a bit longer than when Liam was born so I want a bit more with me this time.
Here’s a look at what I’m packing in my hospital bag:
For Me
- Toiletries
- Button Down Nightgown
- Robe (I’m bringing an old one from SOMA, but similar to this one)
- Nursing Tank
- Kindred Bravely Maternity Joggers (this is what I’ll probably wear to the hospital!)
- SOMA Cami + Pants Set
- Align Leggings
- Cardigan/Sweater
- Nursing Bra
- Amazon Slide Sandals
- Tommy John Henley + Pants Set
- Long Charging Cord
- Barefoot Dreams Blanket
- Pillow
For The Babies
- Zippered Footies (2 each in newborn and preemie)
- Hat (1 per baby)
- Barefoot Dreams Blankets (this one and this one)
- Light Swaddle Blankets
- Boppy Pillow
- Pacifiers
- White Noise Machines
- Velcro Swaddles (2 each)
I will share an updated post with what I actually used after our stay!
