My brain is scrambled if I'm not organised! I put as much as I could into these bags, so I knew exactly what i had! Plus, it was easier to direct my husband to what I wanted by giving him the name of a bag!
AlmaLure Hospital Bag Organiser Pouches Set
A black nightdress is a must! I didn't want anything too bright, and this was so light in weight too. The buttons were a handy extra too once my daughter was here and I wanted that skin on skin contact.
iClosam Women's Maternity Button Down Nightgown
These were a great find on Amazon! Not all big postpartum pads have the wings, so I was happy to find some! They were a good price too! Some can be so expensive, and these were just as good. I didn't have anything bad to say about using these!
Lansinoh Maternity Pads After Birth 20 Pack
I love everything amazon, so it's no suprise I love their nappies too. The mama bear products by Amazon are amazing. Delivered to my door, great value, never had any leaks with them, and my daughter was comfortable with them considering she had very ...
Mama Bear Disney Ultra Dry Nappies Size 1, 96
I used these as well a pad because it made me feel double secure! I thought, worst case, if I did leak, then the pads in these would be my backup. I'm ashamed to say it took me a while to go back to normal pants. These were just so comfty!
I never needed one myself, but all my mum friends swore by this. It made those early days a little easier, and the bathroom a little less scary!
This one they recommended to me because they all used it, and the price was so good!
Peri Bottle Postpartum 350ml Portable Bidet
Amazing! I loved that I could just spray this on and also on my pad. I didn't want to have any extra layers in there like the liners you can get. Another plus for C-Section mums, you can use this to spray on your scar! Honestly, I'd recommend this to...
My Expert Midwife Spritz for Bits 100ml
Perfect baby wipes for newborns. At first, I was convinced I wouldn't need them, and tried to use other wipes, but they made my daughter a little sore, so I straight away switched to these, and they were so good. The only wipes that I'd ever recommen...
WaterWipes Sensitive+ Baby Wipes, 720 Ct
Love love love MAM products, and their dummies are one of them. Easy to sterilise in their own tub won me over compared to others. My daughter has always gotten on so well with them! She still has one now for bedtime.
MAM Original Day & Night Soothers 0-2M 4PK
Now these become your best friend! I'd have them all round the house and of course, organised in my nappy caddy. Great for feeding, burping, and spillages! I still use them now to cover my daughters eyes in the bath when washing her hair.
Yukkidds 5-Pack 60x60cm Baby Muslin Cloths
An essential! I always made sure I had a pack of these in my nappy caddy! Poo explosions need to be contained!
150 Coloured Fragranced Nappy Bags with Handles
The best handheld fan there ever was! Yes, it doesn't fold down like the newer options you can get, but it's powerful, charge lasts a long time, and it's rechargeable. You can even use it while charging!
It was an absolute life saver after I had my d...
YunTuo Handheld Fan 4400mAh USB Portable
I'm glad I took this into hospital with us. I only spent 2 nights in there, but it just helped my baby feel a bit more secure. My mum friends recommended it to me.
