Baby things for hospital bag

[Countrybumpkin]

OK, sorry ladies, but had a read through the thread about the hospital bag, but it really doesn't go into much detail about what i will need to pack for the baby. So i was wondering if i could have a list from you lovely people, so i make sure i don't forget anything.

It will be my bag next week, watch this space

Anyhow i will edit this thread later on with your replies, so that it is at the top of the thread for everyone else. Thank you.

Good lists - I packed a pair of tiny baby socks too as sometimes their little feet won't warm up, for under babygrows! also a baby bath towel and a tiny travel bottle very soft baby wash, so we can top/tail wash baby in there after messy section

I found disposable changing mats were very handy!! I had to stay in hospital and couldn't get out of bed so had to change baby on my lap and have found them very handy to use at home and while out too!!

everyone has summed it up xx

What about baby wipes do we need these for changing baby or should we pack cotton wool? Thanks for the snowsuit reminder. I have 3 of those and totally forgot about them. Also thanks for the disposable changing mat idea. Everything else, I think im sorted. What about bibs? x

most hospitals dont like u using baby wipes so i would take cotton wool i wouldnt take bibs i'd take muslim squares instead but its personal choice xx
