What To Pack In Your Hospital Bag - Suggestions - Page 56

Wipes are ok but bloody hell how cold are they? I use cotton wool as I wouldnt want a freezing cold wipe on my bum or round my face I think they are cruel. You need your cotton wool for the eyes I used cooled boiled water got hubby to bring some in,in a flask as I think eyes are so important and touch wood all my kids eyes have been good no stickiness or anything.

Yes, Jo Jo Maman Bebe sell organic wipes which go in a wipe warmer. They're made by Prince Lionheart. They can be washed and reused; so pretty good on the environment too. I was almost tempted to buy them... trouble is they need a mains connection and there is no plug near our changing table

Not very practical for taking into hospital either. I don't think they're that expensive considering how much you would be saving on regular wipes as they're washable.

I am just going to use wet wipes now though. I have a big box of 12 Pampers sensitive wipes which I got at the Asda Baby event for £8. At the end of the day I don't care what the midwives say... it's my baby and i'll use what I want to clean her bottom. If they were that damaging to baby's skin, they wouldn't be on the market at all would they? Lol. I will be using cotton wool and warm water to clean baby's face and use the top and tail bowl I've bought :-D

I had a smaller bag (birth bag) within my hosp. bag.... containing snacks and drinks of squash and the camera, hand held fan for labour etc etc etc. The drinks, hand held fan and camera (fully charged) were the things I could not have managed without.... everything else was gravy IMO!

This is a brilliant thread but am I right in thinking its more of a hospital suitcase I will need than bag. I cant think of any bag big enough for all this stuff I will need
