Hospital Bag Necessities for Mom
Nursing Tank Top
I lived in nursing tank tops ” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>just like these staple black ones during all my post-partum journeys. They’re simple and keep my tummy covered when I nurse. I loved being able to wear them under a regular shirt. When I pulled my shirt up to nurse, my tummy was still covered.
Joggers
After birth you don’t want *anything* tight on your body – so this adorable 2-piece jogger set offers you comfort and style. It also can be worn during that uncomfortable third trimester. So what are you waiting for?
Comfy Shoes
With over 4,527 5-Star reviews, these slide-on shoes are popular for a reason. They’re so cushy and feel like you’re walking on a cloud. Highly recommend.
Hospital Bag Necessities for Baby
Zip up Onesies
Loooove love love these zip-up newborn onesies. This three-pack came to the hospital with us every time we had a baby. They’re gender-neutral (since we didn’t know the sex of our twins) and perfect for the NICU, heading home in a car seat, or snuggling in between nursing sessions. They also have built-in mittens to prevent baby from scratching themselves.
Infant Car Seat
We have two of these infant and toddler car seats and have used them since our first child came home from the hospital and our twins use them now. I love that they last 2 years, face backward, and aren’t too heavy.
Soft velcro swaddle
All children are different, but each of ours loved to be swaddled while they slept. It helped them calm down and provided the tightness and comfort of the womb, that they were missing. I was never great at swaddling a baby and would worry about the hospital blanket covering their faces, even after the nurses would wrap them up nice and tight. So having these velcro swaddles at the hospital was a game-changer.
