Hospital Bag Essentials – For Parents

Last week I wrote a blog post on hospital bag essential for baby and after receiving such great feedback I decided to write a quick post on what I’ll be packing for both my husband and I in our Fawn Design Weekender bag and a few things that won’t necessary fit into a bag but we’ll be taking with us to the hospital 😉 OH and ps. I’ll be including the BEST tip ever at the end of the list that I received from a sweet follower of mine on Instagram. Stay tuned XO

FOR ME:
Wallet + Hospital Paperwork
Always Discreet Underwear
Kindred Bravely Nursing Bra + PJ Set [that’s nursing friendly]
Phone + Charger
Water Bottle
DSLR Camera + Extra Lenses
“Coming Home Outfit” aka Adidas sweatsuit
Silverette USA Nursing Cups [they’re small cups crafted out of pure 925 silver that fit over and help to protect nipples while breastfeeding]
Toothbrush + Toothpaste
Travel Size Shampoo + Conditioner + Body Wash + Deodorant + Hair Brush
Nursing Pillow
Hair Tie
Face Wash
Hand Sanitizer

A couple of things I’m considering packing even though I didn’t use them for Lincoln..
Socks
Slippers
Makeup
Robe

FOR KYLE:
Wallet + Change [for vending machines]
Change of Clothes
Phone + Charger

BEST TIP EVER:
Have your husband pack your hospital bag so that during contractions when you ask him to grab something he will know exactly where everything is and he can avoid saying “Ok sorry I know you’re in mid contraction but I can’t find your lip balm” LOL

Am I missing any must-have items? Please let me know down below. Help a mama out lol XO
