Adequate breastfeeding sweaters, bathrobe or postpartum brace are some of the essential items that mommy's hospital bag should contain, so that at the time of the big moment, nothing is missing.
The moment of the baby's arrival is very important and longed for by all moms, so to avoid unnecessary stress and nervousness it is important to have everything prepared in order to avoid unforeseen circumstances. It is advisable to have the mother's and baby's bags ready after 36 weeks of gestation, since labor can always start anytime after that time.
What to pack for the Hospital
Mum's layette to the hospital should contain several items, such as:
- 2 breastfeeding-appropriate sweaters, with opening at the breast level; 1 bathrobe or robe; 1 postpartum brace indicated by the doctor; 2 bras suitable for breastfeeding. These must be purchased in the last month of pregnancy; Moisturizing and protective cream for nipples; Breastfeeding pads or pads to keep nipples dry; 3 or 4 high-seam panties, comfortable for postpartum; Socks if necessary; Slippers for bath and bedroom; 1 pack of night absorbent to contain large amounts of blood lost in the postpartum period; Some personal care products, such as towels, soaps, mirror, lipstick, toothbrush and toothpaste, hairbrush, cotton buds, shampoo or conditioner, for example; Comfortable clothes, simple to wear and loose for leaving the hospital.
To avoid forgetting, it is important to confirm all the items on this list, and they should be placed in a medium-sized suitcase that is easy to carry, next to the baby's layette bag. The two suitcases should be kept together, preferably in an easily accessible place.
In addition, other less essential items that you can also prepare to take includes a camera to record all your baby's first moments and a souvenir and door ornament.
