I ordered this set of packing cubes and they've come in handy for both mine and baby's things. I only used one cube for pretty much all of her stuff and then sorted mine based on item so that if we need to grab something quickly, it will be readily available.
Baby's Bag
I ordered our little girl this Barrington tote once we decided on her name. I have a few of them and loved this cute pattern. It'll be perfect for when we pack her things to stay at the beach house and I knew it would be great for the hospital as well.
- Mittens
- Socks
- Hat/Bow
- 2 or 3 blankets/swaddles
- Outfit and items for her announcement photo
- Several outfits (in both newborn and 0-3 month - I opted for a couple of gowns and a footed option)
- A friend recommended these Paty gowns so I am having one monogramed to take as well
- Burp cloth
- Boppy
- Sound machine
- Car Seat
In Our Bag
While baby's bag is all set, ours is still in the works but I have the big things all packed. I decided to pack just one large roller suitcase to hold both mine and Stephen's things in hopes that we'll have less bags to carry.
For Both of Us:
- Towels
- Blanket
- Pillow
- Phone Charger with long cord
- Snacks / protein bars
- Bottled Water
- Small night light
For Mom:
- Pajamas (I have this nightgown and this set)
- Nursing bra
- Comfy robe
- Toiletry Bag - some specifics other than the usual are hair ties, Chapstick, etc.
- Bedroom slippers
- Sticky Socks
- Shower flip flops
- Outfit for going home (I have two dresses packed)
- Depends (these came highly recommended!)
- Nursing tank and nipple cream
- Camera
- Portable mini fan
For Dad:
- Workout/Comfy clothes
- Change of clothes / outfit for going home
- Toiletries
Who knows what out of these things we will use! We are trying to be prepared as possible due to Covid-restrictions but I'm share what worked best for us once she's here!
