What about bibs do you need those? x

Dani_b · Feb 22nd, 2009, 16:58 PM

if you are going to bottle feed then yes i would put some bibs in as i have found bottled fed babies seem to sick up more than breastfed babies. (well thats how it was with my last 2)

I have just packed toothpaste and brush now as I ALWAYS forget to take this no matter where I go, holidays, sleepovers you name it I forget toothpaste and brush !! Tesco sell the little mini tubes for 89p.

Facewipes are another I couldn't live without and slippers !

Pillow will def be coming with me as when I was admitted to hosp back in first tri they gave me a horrid flat plastic pillow thingy that may as well of been the doormat, it was so awful.

I will probably end up taking everything I don't need and nothing that I do

Great post - have my hospital and baby bag already packed and at the ready.

I'm gonna add magazines/books to my bag as I have no idea how long I'll be there and also overdo it on the snack front as thats where we went wrong last time!

This has also reminded me to update the hospital action plan thing so family know what to do - my father in law will look after our son when I'm in hospital.

When i was admitted over xmas a lady's water kept going in bits here and there but enough to soak through, she went through ALL her nighties and had none left (sounds like she had a few) and ended up in a hospital gown

this reason ANY spare space i have i will fill with nighties loL! worst time to be uncomfy!

Dani_b · Feb 24th, 2009, 15:52 PM

i know how uncomfy hospital nightes are. had to wear them when i was admitted with DS as 37 weeks

You think so? My cmu like to have you out as soon as possible after baby is born. I'm hoping to be out quick! I guess I could pack more, but I'm not sure whether I'll use 10 maternity pads in a few hours. I can always send someone out for more. I only live 5mins from the hospital anyway. Will buy another pack of cheapy knickers though, they were only £1 for 3 pairs in asda
