Newborn things in hospital bag

This is my first pregnancy, im still early in week 20, but am planning to start to note down things to buy for baby, and whats needed for hospital bag. Im planning to deliver my baby at KKH (not sure natural or csect). Can experienced mummies help me out on what to bring in hospital bag, in details and do hospital provide anything for mummy or baby? And for newborn outfits for hospital stay, aside from swadle. muslim cloth, booties & mittens/hat, do i need to bring short sleeve or long sleeve onesies ? And do i need to bring newborn pants or not necessary since baby will still have their baby cord, Or just bring the sleeping onesie with long sleeve for both hands and legs. Thank you in advanced mummies! #advicepls #firstbaby

Short/long sleeve doesn’t matter since baby will be swaddled. Not necessary to bring pants since their diapers would be probably still be big enough to cover, however when the cord is still there, they will usually fold down the diapers so that it won’t cover the cord. It will be easier to just bring a zipper suit and swaddle :) .

I had c sect so I think preparing some drinking straws would be helpful, at least I didn’t have to sit up straight for water.
