Hospital Bag Must-Haves I Actually Used ❤️
18
items Simple, practical hospital bag essentials I truly used—focused on comfort, recovery, and making those early postpartum days a little easier. 🤍
This was one of my favorite items I packed this time around! I hate the gowns the hospital provides -itchy, unpractical and not cute at all! I wore this gown as soon as I got to the hospital clear to after I delivered. Getting my epidural was so much...
Frida Mom Delivery and Nursing Gown
Listen…. Iykyk! This peri bottle design is genius and so much better than the peri bottle you get from the hospital. I wish I would have had this after my first baby 6 years ago! I can’t rave about this enough, haha!
Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle
These were really comfy and helped keep the cooling pads in place so much better!
Frida Mom Disposable Postpartum Boy Shorts
These were one of my other favorite items I brought! I did these with witch hazel pads and they brought so much relief postpartum.
Frida Mom Instant Ice Maxi Pad
Just trust me and add to your cart 😅 this SAVED me the first couple of days breastfeeding and it still comes in handy especially when baby is cluster feeding
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter
I use this more than my Spectra! I brought this to the hospital with me to help my milk come in, I take it with me in the car and it’s so handy to have around if I feel like my son didn’t eat enough in one feed. I truly think this has helped my milk ...
Medela Manual Breast Pump
I wanted something that was cute, roomy and functional and this checked all the boxes! There was plenty of room for all of my things and throwing some packing cubes in there also helped keep things even more organized.
Hospital Overnight Bag / Weekender Bag
I love having clear bags like this in my weekender bag because I can see everything inside of them and don’t have to go through a ton of different little bags looking for just one little thing
Clear Travel Makeup Bag
This deodorant is the real mvp. The only natural, clean deodorant that actually makes you smell good and does its job 🩵
Clean Blue Tansy Deodorant
Helped me feel a lot more put together with minimal effort and is comfy to sleep in
Comfy Heatless Curl Band ☁️
my favorite clean foundation stick!
The Minimalist
The most luxurious lip balm! My favorite is the creamsicle 🧡
NATURAL LIP BALM - Primally Pure Skincare
These on top of a cooling Frida mom pad 👌🏼 just trust me on this one
Tucks witch hazel pads
My all time favorite nursing/pumping bra 🙌🏼 I have been busty all my life so I LOVE the support and coverage this bra gives
Kindred Bravely Nursing + Pumping Bra
A must have for the hospital! Kept my pebble ice cold, and I threw my electrolytes in here and stayed on top of my water
Stanley 30 oz Tumbler
This was actually such a good item for my hospital bag because it didn’t take up as much room as my regular size wet brush and I can just save it for travel later on too!
Mini Wet Brush
So handy having a pair of flip flops because my feet were pretty swollen after delivery, and these were easy to slip on and off to go back and forth to the bathroom and to use as shower shoes
Flip flops
These were lifesavers for both of my boys -they both had a tough time latching in the beginning so I brought these with me to the hospital and have a ton in my diaper bag and around the house. My boy is now 4.5 months and his latch has improved a ton...
