What’s In My Hospital Bag?

This is the hospital bag that I will be packing for baby E. I want to embroider her name across it – its a Vera Bradly Small Travel Duffel Bag.

F O R B A B Y

  • 3 onesies
  • 3 swaddles
  • 1 outfit for pictures

** I have been told that the hospital will supply diapers & wipes for baby, but feel free to bring whatever you need to make yourself feel prepared.

Keep in mind: I was told by my hospital that they will provide more than enough for postpartum recovery, so I wouldn’t worry too much about packing all those essentials, unless you know you want to use something specific. However, I personally have found creams that work well for me and I will be bringing certain items that I know work for my body. Also, I heard that anything left over from your hospital stay will get sent home with you! 🙂
