A long phone charger, sandals for the shower, a robe, comfy baggy pajamas, my own blanket & pillow, and my own toiletries.
Long phone charger, extra hair ties, and towels because my hospital had tiny towels for after my showers
Individually wrapped lollies like minties or fantails to offer your nurse when they are in your room. As a nurse, we always extra look after those patients and pay extra visits (especially when sweet tooth moment in a shift hitsš¤£)

Socks, lotion, brush, hair ties, deodorant, razors, tooth brush, tooth paste, pads, 4+ pairs of over sized underwear, loose fitting clothes, charger, book, slip on shoes.
Small pack of newborn diapers, small pack of size one diapers, scent free wipes, baby power/cream, baby lotion, zip up sleepers, onesies, car seat.

Bring your own diapers for yourself. So much more comfy than the one the hospital gives. Bring sweats or dress to hide the diaper when u go home lol.
Your own comfy robe. The one hospital gives is uncomfy and exposing. Also brings stretchy shoes or slippers, cause after epidural or in general after birth ur feet get swollen.
Pacifier!!! Obviously baby going home clothes. Bring Atleast 2-3 incase they pee or poop through. Nursing bra with no underwire/padding 2-3 sizes than what u usually are. Chapstick is a must- your lips get so chapped.
Pack your essentials like your going on vacay like a toothbrush, brush, extra pads period panties, comfortable clothes, fuzy socks, hair ties ,lotion!

Form my experience. Bring more then one size outfit for your baby to come home in. I was told that more than likely my son would fit a 0-3 months. Turned out I had to buy him preemie for the first month.
l get paid over $137 per hour working from home. l never thought Iād be able to do it but my buddy makes over $19190 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is endless.

A long phone charger, clothes for the baby, your toiletries, clothes for you (I was DYING to get out of that hospital gownš¤£), and a comfort item for you (blanket, pillow, stuffed animal, whatever you like. You do you.) I packed so much and these were the only things I used

Main thing I make sure to take: phone charger, longer the better, and I make sure I have my own pillows. Otherwise, I donāt worry about much. Comfy clothes to go home in, body wash/shower items if you want to shower after, and an outfit or 2 for baby (I would pack newborn and 0-3, personally. I messed up only packing newborn clothes for my second born, wasnāt aware of how big he was.
) I was only there 24 hours after delivery so I didnāt even need some of the things I shoved into my bag. Lol

Dermoplast, bc the hospital didnāt supply it. House shoes bc the bathroom floor is gross, a pillow & blanket, & bring different size clothes for the baby, my daughter was much smaller than we expected, & most importantly, bring a fan (mine attached to the side of the hospital bed) & can be used in the stroller etc.
Add drinks if your hospital only has diet. Paper pen
Leave your phone so you canāt ask more stupid shit like that
Hair clip/ties, brush or comb, your personal toothbrush, Phone charger, long chord. 1 set of clothes to go home in. Closed Slippers. Reading material, puzzles, solo games, your pillow (if youāre picky)
i didnāt use over half of the stuff and i didnāt even āoverpackā. I used my shower stuff/toothbrush, one set of pjs, one outfit to wear home, phone charger, a pillow from my bed at home, house shoes, and quarters for the vending machine so you can have access to snacks.
I feel like we see this same post once a week. Nobody ever comes back and tells us that itās our fault they overpacked and they needed like two of the four hundred things we swore they needed.
Just pack your air fryer and some frozen tendies. Girl, your gonna be hungry as heck and want a nap.

Snacks and food definitely. Drinks.
Comfortable things for breastfeeding. I sat ramrod straight the whole time and thought I had to. Nobody told me to just relax.
Didnāt really need anything I took ā¦ just something to wear for the few hours we were in hospital to be honest ā¦
3rd time mom here- by the time I got to number 3 I had it down lol.
I packed shower stuff, Snacks and drinks, phone charger, and comfy clothes! If youāre having a c section make sure your pants will go above the surgery line or wear nightgowns. I brought my own pillow too but thatās because I hate the flat hospital pillows lol and easy to get on shoes I wore flip flops

You honestly need one outfit to go home and something for the baby. Small toiletries and use the hospital gowns especially if nursing. You can worry about the rest when youāre at home. Keep it simple.

Fuzzy socks with the non slip grips. I was only in the hospital for less than 48 hrs so I didnāt use much. Just bring your phone charger, toothbrush, toothpaste, chap stick, brush, hair ties, etc. Plus an outfit for yourself and baby. Diapers, wipes, formula, pads, etc are provided by the hospital.

If you plan on wanting to look good in photos after, pack the face wipes and a small compact or tinted moisturizer. I didnāt care, but some do. You never know when youāll go into labor and my god will you sweat.

I didnāt get to pack a hospital bag for either of my deliveries, because they both came suddenly. My daughter was almost born in the hallway at the hospital with no time for an epidural. 
Good times.
Iād say donāt worry about the bag too much. Honestly.

Healthy food. The hospital food after the birth was sparse and I actually wanted fruit more than I wanted chocolate or snacks.

Phone charger, chapstick, I always bring 2-3 outfits for myself because I feel gross after and as soon as I can shower it feels good to be in my own clothes, outfit for baby going home, and one for pictures. Binkies, blanket for baby, pillow, and I pack my own snacks for after baby is born , especially ones with fiber so you can have your Bm easier after! Iām considering bringing my Roku this timeā:joy:

I wish i brought my brush !!
Besides everything i needed the main thing I made sure I had was tin milk and bottles soon as I gave birth they went straight on the bottle Lmao
Bring extra clothes for your significant other and baby, my son shit and pissed on every outfit we brought for him by the time we went home and with my daughter I ended up having postpartum preeclampsia and my fiancĆ© was running out of clothes lol prepare for something to go wrong cause I definitely didnāt
I would have bought more newborn clothes, since he pooped through them, lol. But otherwise I donāt think anything else, I was pretty prepared. I brought a phone charger and portable charger, bathrobe and slippers, pads and granny panties, newborn clothes, a hat for him, blanket for him, and just basics like a hairbrush and deodorant from what I remember, lol! And snacks! But yeah, toiletries are the best to bring, especially stuff to use in the shower. And comfy clothes for once youāre recovering (whether itās the bathrobe I mentioned or sweatpants/pyjamas). Maybe your own pillow since hospital pillows suck.
Stuff for baby dad to eat while at hospital and toiletries
