I'm sure you've seen this Beis Weekender everywhere, but it truly is my FAVORITE bag. I used this for my hospital bag. My items went in the top, and anything I needed for baby went in the bottom.
The Weekender in Beige
A comfy pajama or lounge set was an absolute must for me, and I loved the button down shirt on this set.
Women's Beautifully Soft Short Sleeve Notch Collar Top and Shorts Pajama Set - Stars Above™ Black M
Although the hospital provided disposable underwear, these helped me feel more “held together” after my C section. If you're going to purchase additional disposable underwear, I'd highly recommend these.

Whatever socks are you're favorite, I'd recommend packing a pair or two! These are my personal “go-to”

The only brand of nipple cream I've tried, but I'm obsessed and it lasts forever

I was SOO thirsty after delivery and the first few weeks postpartum. I regretted not bringing my own water bottle that could keep my water colder for longer. I will definitely be packing my large Stanley the next time around

The long cord is so convenient in the hospital bed, just trust me!
TALK WORKS iPhone Charger Lightning Cable 10ft
Okay - so this isn't a necessity. But we had this in our hospital room and would just randomly snap photos and have nurses/visitors take photos of us. They are some of my absolute favorite pictures from our time in the hospital with a newborn and so ...
Kodak Funsaver One Time Use Film Camera (2-pack)
Toiletries I will pack next time: toothbrush/toothpaste, hairbrush, dry shampoo, claw clip/ pony tail holder, skincare, maybe minimal makeup, deodorant, perfume
Zeyune 2 Pcs Cotton Quilted Makeup Bag, Beige
Having a pair of slide on shoes was the best decision I made for the hospital! I actually wore mine to the hospital, so I didn't even pack them in the bag
Joomra Pillow Slippers Non Slip Quick Drying
My most worn nursing bras. I packed 3 for the hospital, and that ended up being plenty!

Pacifiers! I know every nurse/doctor has a different opinion on when to introduce, but I'd say bring them just in case!

An outfit for announcement photos/going home. This is what we used for my son, and it was so precious!!

A baby blanket from home! If you don't already have a favorite - I am obsessed with these Saranoni baby blankets

You only need 1-2 pairs in the hospital, but these will SAVE little babe from scratching their face.
HAPIU Baby No Scratch Mittens, 100% Cotton
Old Naby baby socks are the best! So random, I know, but they stay on better than any other brand that I've tried.
Unisex Crew Socks 6-Pack for Toddler & Baby
I'd recommend one or two pairs of footies in the hospital! Although these footies are more spendy than other options, I loved them at the newborn age especially because of the soft fabric and how adaptable it is in different climates. We used these m...
Zippered Footie in Fog
ONESIES - okay all I would say is to pack 2-3. But, pack two different sized. My husband and I are both pretty short and knew our baby would be on the small side. I packed one preemie and two newborn sizes. Even for being an averaged sized baby, the ...
Gerber Baby 8-pack Short Sleeve Onesies
We started using a sound machine in the hospital and really felt like it helped baby sleep as nurses came in and out of the room.
