Your hospital will provide plenty of diapers and wipes. Even send you home with some! They will also provide postpartum supplies but I do have my own preference so I’ll be brining my own. I bring only like 2-3 outfits for baby (one in newborn one in 0-3 just in case). I’ve notice that with constant changing of baby and different hospital staff running test on baby, it was annoying to keep changing/unbuttoning outfits for me. Baby stayed swaddled 99% of the time. I did bring my own blanket for myself and baby.

Of course bring whatever toiletries you need or want. Maybe some comfy sweats or robe as well.

With each of my babies, I’ve only stayed in the hospital 24 hours so I try not to pack too much. Or someone can always bring me something if needed but I’ve never had to request anything.

I took a snuggle blanket from home which helped me feel comfortable during and after birth
