(2) for my first gave me a little card they had in her bassinet with her name, birth time, weight and footprints. But with my second, she was rushed to nicu and unfortunately I never got a card like the one I got for my first. I think the only footprints i have for her is when she came out of nicu at like 2 weeks old. Still special and sweet but I loved seeing how tiny my first started đź’–
@Carly thank you so so much for all that info! ❤️
Mainly items for you:: You can bring comfy clothes 2-3 outfits or wear hospital gowns til you go home then 1 outfit Snacks/ drinks for after birth Charger, hygiene products if you have specific items you like to use, slipper socks, laptop or tablet watch movies on, pillow/ blanket sometimes it’s cold For baby:: You won’t need much the hospital will provide every thing unless it’s something specific you want baby to have Zipper onesie for going home newborn size and 0-3 size, car seat, baby blanket if it’s cold and bad weather where you live, baby will wear hospital shirt and be swaddled due to the test they do so…. Unless you want to do special pics bring outfit for that

Otherwise, it's the hospitals default 95% of what baby could possibly need the hospital provides (except carrier to come home) Also, if you got a pump you can bring it if you choose and the lactation specialist may help you set it up and get used to it Just a being extra thing I wish I had brought those inkless foot/handprint things to get my babies first foot print and hand print as a keepsake.
