I’ve packed clothes and toiletries for myself (2 trousers, 2 comfy tops, a pack of large underwear x5, socks, light dressing gown, a comfortable dress for my going home outfit and trousers.) I am yet to pack baby’s things.but I am taking nappies, cotton pads, water wipes and barrier cream.
Toiletries: postpartum pads, cooling pads, breast pads, moisturiser, Spritz for bits spray, witch hazel liners to layer onto the pads.
People have recommended disposable underwear but I’ve not yet bought these
It is overwhelming but once you have a think about what you want with you, and get organised it’ll become clearer. Took me a couple months to finalise what I’m taking and who knows, maybe I’ll change my mind again. I’d rather overpack than underpack. I’m taking two bags - one mini suitcase for clothes and a separate bag for the toiletries & baby nappies.
Honestly the lists are overwhelming and I’ve just had all my things delivered and ITS SO MUCH STUFF 😭 I wanted to avoid bringing a suitcase but that isn’t happening anymore. As for baby clothes I just was going to pack newborn and 0 month as they go up to 8/9lbs however I’m being induced at 37 weeks now as baby is measuring small so I’ve had to do a last minute premature baby clothes order and got up to 6lbs now. I will still bring a newborn but I’m going to ditch the 0 months now x
Thank you both @Natasha @Zarah really helpful 🙏 💖
