Packing for the Hospital-Postpartum Bag


Postpartum Bag

Bag number 2-this will stay in the truck til about our little one has arrived and they move me to a room.


Clothing
o    Pajamas for sleeping/lounging-the leopard print top (so comfy and a pair of black spandex-y type pj pants)
o    Slippers (which are in the labor bag and will be transferred after labor) 
o    1 pair of warm fuzzy socks (the pink and multi color fuzzies)
o    Underwear that you don’t mind to toss (these are super soft and cheap clearance from JcPenny
o    yoga pants (bought on clearance at Target but would love it if they didn't get ruined because they are super soft and will make good lounge wear for the next couple of weeks)
o    Nursing tank and nursing bra (the sleep kind) with a cardigan (the grayish looking thing) to wear over (I packed 3 tanks because they were all super soft but all had different fits. I didn't know which one would work best for nursing)
o    Zip up hoodie (my all time favorite hoodie-Victoria Secret Pink-It has UT sparkles on the back of it-little man is arriving just in time for football season in TN)
o    Outfit  to leave the hospital in (a little black dress-soft, jersey knit from Target)
o    1 nursing bra from Babies R Us


Toiletries
o    Hair dryer (not packed-still using)
o    Makeup Bag- will be transferred from the labor bag
o    Travel size-toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, deodorant, mini tissues, vitamins, tylenol, Mama mio belly oil, germ-X, q-tips, Mama Mio Skin Care lotion and Boob Tube lotion, face wipes, dry shampoo, and Natural laxitives (which I have yet to find)!
o    Shower slippers (just a cheap pair of flip flops)
o    Sanitary napkins like Always Infinity/Depends the orange things
o    Adult diapers (not the cheap kind) the big orange things-this was just a suggestion and we will see if it works

 Ease Postpartum Aches and pains


o    Belly Bandit/hip slimmer
o    Lanolin
o    Tucks infused with witch hazel
o    Heat and ice packs for breast and abdominal area
o    Spouted bottle to clean your lady parts without having to wipe (said I would get one of these at the hospital)
o    Breast pads (the little purple bag has two but I have more in an extra box that will stay in the truck unless I run out of something)
o    Nipple cream/nursing cream

Might need/want
o    Baby book or something to stamp baby’s foot (in labor bag
o    snacks
o    Pillow and blanket-do not use a white one as the hospital one is white (not pictured)
