i took disposable breast pads and didnt use them.
disposible briefs and pads.

i recommend mat pads after birth also if u bleeding loads.
2 nighties that open in front for breast feeding.

baby stuff
sleepsuits only took 2 thought all i need but was wrong lol. nappys but used hosps. they dont like wet wipes they like cotton wool balls and warm water.
no food as i was breast feeding.

Just a note ladies dont pack any baby wipes as with my hospital they prefer you not to use them but cotton wool and warm water instead to clean bubs with ie if the are dirty Dont forget a balanket for bubs too and a coat, hat and mits
