You delivered at huntsville hospital right?
I'm getting ready to pack my hospital bag, I know the basic stuff to pack, but is there anything in particular you would reccommend for me to pack?
What all did they supply for you and Avery? What do I need to pack for myself, and Bentley?
TIA!
Re: *Sarah*
Yes, I delivered at HH, so did Monica.
Here's a list of the things I brought and actually used at the hospital (I was a scheduled c-section, but not sure if it made any difference).
- Light weight robe
- good supportive nursing bra, nursing tank top (I got mine at Target)
- really comfy pj pants
- toothbrush, hairbrush, shower toiletries
- Boppy pillow
- my own pillow
- flip flops
- extra blanket (robert used this to sleep with on the pullout)
- lounge pants/shirt for Robert (DH)
- one outfit for Avery
- blanket for Avery
- Camera
- cell phone
- laptop (robert brought it to me one day, they have wireless)
Things I wish I would have brought - breast pads and Lasinoh Lanolin cream. The hospital has the Medela Lanolin but the Lasinoh stuff is thicker and more soothing to your nipples. BFing is REALLY REALLY hard at first, its painful and the lasinoh helps a lot. Stick with it though because after a week or so, the pain goes away.
I brought a bunch of clothes for Avery but she stayed wrapped up in the hospital blankets with the T-shirt on. I brought make up and a hair straightener and didn't use any of it.
You're getting close! good luck! If you have any more questions, let me know!
