I really didn't pack Kailyn a bag just clothes,hats since they have to wear one in the hospital,socks, and blankets. They provided us with diapers,wipes brush and bottles of baby wash.

I am just bringing him a change of clothes. He is 19 months now I have 3 weeks left. I am not going to keep if couped in a hospital in the middle of summer. That would just be cruel and unusual punishment. Lol

@candy101 oh no, I mean for my nb

thanks everyone! I need to get things packed soon

Oh well that a different story.lol
Our hospital uses pampers swaddlers so I won't be bringing diapers. I just brought the coming home outfit but we live 10-15 minutes from the hospital.

I actually just set things up with my mom for her to take care of my son today. You aren't the only behind on getting things together.

Mints are good for labor, for your partner too as he'll probably be in your face helping you breathe! Lol
Don't forget snacks, clothing, toiletries, etc for hubby or so too.

One thing that was a lifesaver that I brought last time were those lil mittens for her hands because when they are brand new their nails can really scratch up the delicate skin on their faces..or the onesies with the fold on the wrist works the same ....lots of undies and nice pads because hospital pads suck lol oh and def Breast pads!

ExcitedForOctober

@scarlettsmama oh yes, that I learned from my first baby and granny panties are on my list of things to get this weekend

@wilsomom mints are such a good idea! Defientely going to pop some into my bag, thanks!

@zekesmommy I think thats the way to do it, pack early so it gives you time to add things as you remember them!
