Essentials to Include on Moms Hospital Bag Checklist

The time has COME!

You need to get your bag packed for the hospital. Below is a list of essentials of what goes in mom’s hospital bag:

Photo ID/Insurance card: you will need this for check in.
Lottie Dottie robe: our mothers delivery robes are perfect for early morning wakeups and late-night nursing sessions. We also offer a matching baby swaddle and beanie/headband to capture those memorable hospital moments.
Non-skid socks: to keep your feet warm and help with traction on the slippery hospital floor.
Loose clothing: after labor you’ll want all the comfort you can get, just the thing for a new mom.
Nursing bras: for ease when nursing in the hospital.
Breast pump: bring your breast pump if you plan to nurse so the lactation consultant can go over features and answer any questions.
Extra-long phone charger: the hospital bed is likely in the middle of the room. To make sure your phone is charged for all the videos, pictures and Face Timing – a long phone charger is just the thing.
Toiletries: be sure to pack shampoo, conditioner, bodywash, lotion, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, glasses, contacts, your regular skincare, makeup wipes and any makeup you plan to wear.
Towel: most hospitals do not provide these, and nothing beats the shower after giving birth.
Medication: pack any medication you took throughout pregnancy or as advised by your physician.
Firestick or Roku: most hospital rooms are equipped with a TV that is HDMI compatible.
Snacks and change for vending machine: this one is self-explanatory!
Blanket: to get the feeling of home, bring your own blanket.
Pillow: the pillows aren’t as comfortable at the hospital, so if that’s an issue for you its best to pack your own.
Laptop/Tablet/Book: to pass the time if you are in labor for a while or have an extended stay.
