Hospital Bag Checklist
Here at Hip and Little we know it is important to be prepared! So we thought we would help our pregnant friends with a checklist of items to pack in their hospital bags. We advise packing up early just in case your baby decides to surprise you! Just keep your bag by the door, ready to grab when the big day comes. Here is what you should have ready.
___ lip balm
___ cozy socks to wear during the delivery
___ your camera (and video camera if you are truly brave)
___ ipod or other music player with your favorite tunes
___ phone numbers for your friends and family
___ favorite snacks for after delivery
___ 2 or 3 hospital gowns if you prefer to bring your own (cute) ones.
___ slippers
___ nursing bra , nursing nightgown , or nursing pajamas
___ nipple cream and nursing pads
___ baby shampoo for baby's first bath
___ newborn diapers and baby wipes
___ personal toiletries (toothbrush, etc.)
___ a take home outfit for the baby
___ extra maternity clothes for you (you won't be ready for your regular clothes quite yet!)
* Don't forget to install your baby's carseat ahead of time! It is much easier to do this before baby's arrival than after.
