Baby - Hospital Bag Checklist

About

Essentials for mom Pack items that help you feel calm and ready. Include your ID, insurance card, birth plan, phone charger, lip balm, socks, a robe, and a nursing bra. Add any medicines your care team approved. Items for baby Bring soft clothes, newborn diapers, wipes, swaddle blankets, and a going-home outfit. A car seat is also key for the ride home. Choose simple, comfy pieces that are easy to use. Helpful extras Pack snacks, water, toiletries, hair ties, glasses, and a pillow from home. A small bag for dirty clothes can help too. Keep your hospital bag ready by 35 to 37 weeks.
