 Onsies

Once the baby is born, you obviously need to dress him up. A onesie is perfect,  for this purpose. It does the job of a “lower” and “top”

Additionally, it will help in not making the bag extra heavy.

 

Bibs and burping cloths

This is pretty self-explanatory. Bibs are needed even if you lactate the first so that the clothes are not spoilt.  As, it is crucial to burp the baby, after a feed a burping cloth helps with that.

 

 Diapers

Needless, to say your baby will poop and pee a lot. So diapers are just not avoidable. Pampers can be a good choice and can be bought on Amazon.

 

Caps & Blanket

Generally, small babies are kept in the N.I.CU, for a brief period of time, which tends to get a bit chilly. Hence, it ’s important to cover their heads.

Similarly, a small blanket serves the same purpose.

What to pack for yourself?

Pyjamas

At least throw in two pairs of pyjamas. It will help you keep the legs warm.

Breastfeeding gown or a shirt that will make the process smoother for you. There will no hassle of changing into a fresh pair of clothes, once you feed the baby.

 

Lipstick

Now, you would be wondering, why should you carry in lipstick and makeup? My reason is simple. Mom ’s tend to forget about themselves, as soon as their bundle of joy is born.

But, in my opinion,  a mother should not only feel happy internally, but also look pretty from the outside.

Chances are, that a lot of guests visit you in the hospital itself. So, you want to look pretty. Not supermodel pretty, but yes tidy and a hint of lipstick never harms anyone, right?
