Hello mamas, I am sharing a detailed list of things you will need in your hospital bag for your baby. I delivered in December 2023 and almost all the things I had packed were required during my 3-day hospital stay.
1) 5-6 set of baby clothes. Rompers or onesies are easy to use for change of diapers.
2) 2-3 muslin swaddles - Helps to wrap the baby and calms them when asleep.
3) Multiple wash/burp clothes or towels
4) 2-3 pair of baby caps, mittens and socks/booties
5) Baby's carrying blanket/towel
6) Soft blanket to wrap baby
7) Bath towel
8) Baby diapers (tape style is best for newborns)
9) 2-3 Dry sheets
10) Baby toiletries (for baby's first bath in hospital) - body wash/soap, body lotion
(I carried talcum powder but most paediatricians do not recommend using it, so I didn't need it)
11) Baby wipes (Look for alcohol free wipes that have 98-99% water)
12) Baby nail grooming scissors or nail cutter
13) Cotton balls (If needed to clean baby's eyes)
14) Diaper rash cream
15) Sleeping bag for baby
16) Baby bath tub (If you don't want to purchase from hospital)
17) Nursing/feeding pillow
18) Bowl with spoon or palada - If baby does not latch and you have to manually express your milk to feed
19) Breast pump (Buy later, only if your baby has latching issues)
