When I was pregnant, I Googled every bag packing list to make sure I had EVERYTHING that was needed in my bag and I wanted to pass along to you Moms-to-be. I brought one bag for my things and a diaper bag for the baby:

Mommy Bag:

• 2 pairs of pajama bottoms (larger sized ones)
• 1 pair of sweats (one’s that are not tight on the waist)
• 1 loose sweatshirt
• 2 long sleeve t-shirts (ones that will have easy access for breastfeeding)
• 6 pairs of larger sized cheap underwear (yes 6 might have been excessive but better safe than sorry)
• Slippers (I wouldn’t bring good one’s – remember you are walking around on gross hospital floors) or flip flops
• Breast feeding pillow
• Hair elastics
• Your own pillow (hospital pillows suck)
• Video Camera
• Camera
• iPad if you have one (I am truly happy I had mine – was so bored while waiting) or magazines
• Lip balm
• 2 pairs of socks
• Nursing bra
• 1 pack of thick overnight pads
• Breast pads
• Toiletries (mini shampoos/conditioners/toothbrush/toothpaste/hair brush – the ususal)
• Your email list so your hubby can send out the birth announcement (I still have ours on my phone)

Diaper Bag

• 3 sleepers (I brought the one’s with hand covers – those baby nails are like mini daggers)
• The hospital will give you swaddle blankets while you are there, but I brought 2 of my own
• Winter babies, have the bundle me in your car seat
• A stack of diapers
• 2 baby hats
• Vaseline
• 2 onesies

Best of luck!
