What I’ll be packing in my hospital with baby #3
20
items Each baby, it seems like I bring less and less in my hospital bag. I also now know what my hospital provides and what they don’t, so I know what can just stay at home. I personally don’t need to bring any postpartum care items for myself or any diape...

Mom
Things for mama!
Long phone chargers for mom and dad! Need a fully charged phone for all the pics you’ll be taking! I was also induced with my first 2, so the beginning of both labors was kind of boring and I spent a lot of time on TikTok 😅
Riofxqin iPhone 20W USB C Charger + 10FT Cable
Lots of nursing bras! My favorites were momcozy and kindred bravely!
Nursing Bras
Tank tops even though all 3 of my babies have been/will be winter babies! Hormones are all over the place, so I always dresses in layers for easy shedding/covering up, depending how I was feeling! These are great for breastfeeding
Women's Maternity Nursing Tank Tops 4Pack
I brought all of my own toiletries from home, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothbrush and toothpaste, brush. The hospital will likely have some basics, but after delivery, the first shower makes you start to feel human again. Bring the stuff you lik...
Cosmetic & Toiletry Bags
Shampoo and conditioner from home are a must!
Hair Care | Shampoo & Conditioner
Deodorant for the postpartum stank 🙃
24 Hour Protection Skincare Deodorant
Personally, I don’t even try to look cute leaving the hospital. This is roughly what my going home outfits look like. Comfort over everything in those first few days postpartum!
Womens Sweatsuits
Slippers for walking around the halls/hospital room. I’ve worked in hospitals. You don’t want to walk around barefoot. 🙃

Definitely bring some lotion and chapstick for the dry hospital air
Deep Hydration Moisturizing Cream - Skincare
Baby
Truly, there’s not much that you need for baby (depending on the hospital). Most hospitals will give you the necessities for babe!
If you plan on doing one of these, don’t forget to bring it to the hospital!!! And a marker! Most of the time the nurses will have a marker to borrow, but better safe than sorry!
Birth Announcement Sign
Going home outfit, baby announcement outfit, onesies, blankets, swaddles for baby!

Newborns LIVE in jammies! Might as well make them cute! ☺️
Bamboo Viscose Zip Romper Pajamas
It’s hard to say what pacifier baby will like (maybe none!) so I suggest just bringing a couple and seeing what baby likes and dislikes.
Pacifiers & Teethers
DO NOT FORGET THE CARSEAT! Not necessarily in the hospital bag, but obviously VERY important 😅

You can bring a couple different types of swaddles/sleep sacks to try out. The nurses will always swaddle baby, but once you get home, you’re gonna do what works for you and baby!
Baby Sleep Sacks | Love to Dream US
Same as note from sleep sack. These are way easier than swaddling a blanket!
Easy Swaddle Wrap | aden + anais - Halo Sleep
I brought my boppy both times. Helpful for breastfeeding and honestly for sleeping for mom!

Dad
The dads/support person really don’t need much honestly 😅 they can fend for themselves a little better than mom or baby
Literally any snacks for dad. Depending how labor, delivery, and postpartum go, he might not have any time to get away, so just have snacks ready for him. Also helpful to have SOMETHING in his stomach if there’s even a chance he could faint! These ar...
