List of items to pack for new born in hospital

We are parents of two kids, for delivery of our first baby, we prepared a list of items that we will need in hospital. List was exhaustive and covered most items but still there were lots of item needed to be procured from hospital store and market. Same happened with our packing list of travel, so over the time we improved our lists and few days back we had our second baby. This realized us the need of previous list with more items. We found that list and got the idea, why not to publish all our lists in a website and let help others use them for ready reference. So below is the list of all items we packed for delivery of our baby. With baby there is list of items to be packed for mother.

Organic cotton wipes

Organic cotton wipes are better than wet wipes as wet wipes are harsh on newborn 's skin and in winters they feel cold. So prioritize organic cotton wipes as we can dip them in lukewarm water and use them.

Tape diapers

Since newborn is quite delicate to handle and it becomes difficult to use pant diapers. Diapers helps to keep the infant dry and tape diapers makes it easy to put.

Rashfree cream

To prevent and treat rashes caused by diapers, nappies and clothes. It gives moisturizing and soothing effect.

Cotton clothes

Baby skin is very sensitive and clothes other than cotton can cause irritation.

Baby towel

Carry towel as per the season of birth, use heavy woolen for winter season.

Baby clothes

Newborn babies are very unpredictable. They used to spill milk and pass urine very frequently. In this process their clothes might get wet. So it is always advisable to carry some extra pairs.

Cloth nappy

Carry multiple nappies of cloth if discharge can take more number of days.

Warm cap or cotton cap

Carry multiple warm caps for winter or cotton cap for delivery in summers.

Extra pair of loose dress

To use after delivery.

Maternity pads

Normal pads don't work after delivery because of heavy bleeding. So Maternity pads are must to carry.

Socks, shoes and cap

To fully cover mother's body as it is advisable to wear them after delivery.

Crocs

Crocs are comfortable to put on and off rather than shoes which requires you to bend.

Nursing bras

These come with flip down cups which make the breastfeeding comfortable without lifting your clothes.

Breastfeeding pump

Initially it becomes difficult for newborn baby to latch properly, so in many cases doctors advise to take help of breastfeeding pump to increase the size and newborn is able to latch effectively.

Extra innerwear

After delivery due to heavy bleeding you may get stain.

What not to carry

Do not forget to take off all your valuable items like earrings,rings,chain,silver anklet, bangles etc before delivery

What not to forget

Don't forget to carry your confidence, self belief and strength to hospital 🫡
