For Mom:

• The Stella & Dot Getaway Bag is expandable (I wanted to bring it small so I could expand it for gifts and things we accumulate at the hospital). It is amazing and I love it!
• Robe & matching gown (also worn with leggings if you’re cold)–I got mine on special on Zulily but here is a similar one from Amazon
• 2 pairs black maternity leggings (I have had vaginal births. I have heard that c-section may want to have a lower waisted pant to go under incision. You may want a pair of these packed as well.
• 4 comfy/nursing friendly shirts (you want extras for spit up, milk leaks, extended stay, etc)
• Lillemer compresses (hot or cold) I got the ones with lavender as well.
• Nipple Cream The hospital provides but I wanted a more organic option.
• • We have partnered with Mama Bear Organics so use code Siraya10 to get a discount on this organic option!
• Nursing Cover/Carseat Cover (I love that this one doubles and nursing and carseat. I get regular fit)
• 2 nursing bra(s)
• 1 pair underwear (I personally don’t mind the mesh to not get mine dirty, I do have 1 pair of regular just in case)
• socks–slipper socks, regular socks, just keep those feet warm
• flip flops for slip on walking and bathroom

Toiletries

• Travel size shower stuff (I brought Monat Samples I was able to worked with my consultant to get)
• Toothbrush/paste
• soap
• coconut oil to get epidural adhesive off my back–I love that this is a spray for easy application
• Loofa/scrubber–something more than a washcloth to aid the coconut oil in getting adhesive off my back
• deodorant
• chapstick (this is my personal favorite)
• hair tie (s)
• dry shampoo
• hairspray
• brush
• basic make up–it makes you feel human. Mine: eyebrows, eye liner, waterproof mascara

For Dad:

• 2 sweatshirts (Extra in case of spit up or other fluids get on it)–I personally needed the super cool button in our delivery room which made Alex very cold.
• 3/each socks & underwear (in case longer stay)
• Pjs
• 3 days worth of clothes
• blanket
• snacks
• caffeine
• book
• Laptop for movies, blogging, etc if we are not in an intense active labor. (and cords)
• Toiletries
  • travel size shower stuff
  • shaving
  • deodorant
  • toothbrush/paste

Electronics (in a bin)

• Phone charger
• Watch charger
• outlet extender
• Watch charger
  
• extension cord for phones (we do not have a 10ft cord, if you have the long cord you wont need this). I liked that this one had 3 prongs and was a surge protector if you brought technology that needed it.

For Baby:

Our diaper bag is currently a big backpack bag that fits the other 2 kids as well. I wanted a small diaper bag to bring:

• Coming home clothes in each gender
• Sleeper
• A couple onesies/pants if we are there a couple days.
• Chalkboard announcing name and stats
  • Chalk
• Gender Announcement Banner
  • Tape
• Photo Outfit
• Three Pines Company Slippers
• Socks
• Sweet as April Bonnet
• Headband/Hat
• Swaddle Blanket
• Paci Clip
• Ryan and Rose Paci (also available on Amazon)
• Some Snuggle items for pictures: Hartley, Snuggle Bunny
• Car Seat (infant inserts washed and put back in-still not expired from first baby–I have checked) Do not bring in until ready to leave hospital.
• Boppy
• Warm Blanket–April in Wisconsin is basically the potential to be winter–for lap in the car.
