Hospital Checklist: What to Pack

By Lolita Carrico

What do you really need when you're in the hospital, waiting for the big moment? And then, what essentials will you and baby need for the stay? Our list of hospital must-haves ensures you won't forget a thing!

If you have a vaginal delivery, you'll be in the hospital for 1 - 2 days; c-sections require a minimum of 3 days, so pack accordingly just in case.

For You

Magazines

Nightgown and robe

Slippers and socks

Going-home outfit

Toiletries - toothbrush, toothpaste, deoderant, hair brush, hair elastics, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm

Nursing bra / pads

Sanitary pads (the hospital does provide these, but they aren't as comfortable as drugstore brands. For comfort's sake, pack some of your own)
