Having all the important things packed in your hospital bag can insure that you are fully prepared for delivery day. It is easy to forget some of these items, as you might not be thinking of what you need, but rather what your babies will need. So we complied a list of 10 items you won’t want to forget to pack in your hospital bag.

10 Items Not to Forget to Pack in Your Hospital Bag

1. Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle

The little peri bottles from the hospital are nothing compared to the Frida Mom Upside Down Peri Bottle. This holds more water, has an air vent at the bottom of the bottle which makes it quicker and quieter and the curved spout is heavenly when you have stitches and can’t quite reach them.

2. Eye Mask

This soft, breathable and comfortable mask will cut off any light so you can sleep in full darkness, even when your roommate gets up and turns on the lights to go to the bathroom.

3. “Napping Do Not Disturb” Door Knob Hanger Sign

If you need to rest and don’t want any visitors you can just put this on the door knob! Maybe you’re trying to breastfeed and want some privacy, this works as well.

4. Rachel’s Remedy Breastfeeding Relief Packs

These packs are invaluable for the nursing mom. Giving immediate comfort and help with letdown these packs are a definite necessity to a new nursing mom.

5. Always Infinity Size 4 Overnight Pads with Wings

Hospital pads are so big and bulky. Why not bring your own so you can be more comfortable. These pads are pretty thin, but hold a lot! They are the best pads hands down.

6. Baby Be Mine Maternity Labor Delivery Nursing Robe

This robe is perfect to wear in the hospital postpartum. You will be comfortable and stay covered up. You can get plenty of use out of this robe when you get home as well.

7. Comfy Slippers

8. Toiletry/Cosmetic Hanging Bag

This bag has plenty of pockets for all of your toiletries. It is water proof and easy to clean if it gets dirty. The convenient hook makes it so you can hang it up and have easy access to your products.

9. Anker PowerCore 10000 External Battery

No more anxiety due to a low battery with this small portable charger. You will be able to quickly charge you phone and not have to worry if you have access to an outlet. It’s about the size of a deck of cards and can easily be packed in your hospital bag.

10. Foldable Bags for Freebies

There’s a chance that you might get to walk away from the hospital with more than just two babies, and you’ll need a place to cram all of the extra goodies! These foldable, reusable bags will do the trick. Be sure to take the leftover jumbo pads and the ultra comfortable, stylish mesh undies! If you’re lucky, you may get away with some extra pump parts or other useful supplies too.
