How was your experience? Did they provide anything?? I heard they stopped as of last week?

I gave birth on Sept 1st. And went back recently for a breastfeeding consultation. They gave free hats and blankets that were donated. I'm unsure of what you're asking. Like the peribottle and stuff? If it is. It's part of the birthing aftercare package. That unless stated on their website. They should still have to give you

Basically if they opened anything for your baby. It's up for grabs, cause they literally told us. Take it or else they'll have to throw it out cause they only use new items for each baby born

What about baby wipes? Pacifier? Or diapers?

We got some diapers. And the pacifier they gave our baby and the wiped they used too. Like I said anything used for your baby it's up for grabs

I gave birth at the nuns last October, not super recent.. but they provided a hand made hat, crappy cloth diapers that wouldn’t snap shut and were HUGE on my 5lb boy, a care kit with a peribottle, 2 pairs of mesh panties, big blue pads and some larger maxi pads. If your baby has a latch issue, they also provide bottles of formula as needed. I would recommend bringing a sleeve of newborn sized disposable diapers or whatever type you’re using, wipes, toiletries for yourself, snacks, drinks, a pillow and blanket for yourself. They will feed you 3 meals a day, but not anyone that accompanies you. Also, if you have private insurance.. opt for a private room if it’s included. We had to share and (bless their souls) the people we shared a room with had some trouble with jaundice that required a sun bed in our room 24/7 so we couldn’t get any sleep.

So they didn't provide wipes? What did you use?

They don’t give you *wet* wipes. They give you a stack of soft-ish paper towel.
