For yourself when discharged, a nursing gown, nursing bra and comfortable slippers. At the hospital: phone charger, facial wash, toothbrush and toothpaste (they’ll provide also), dry shampoo, breast pump( if u want to stimulate your milk flow fast), ic(can use digital one), marriage cert (if registering birth at hospital), as for invoices they say will automatically do the claim when you receive the final bill but can just bring and ask for peace of mind. Hospital will provided disposable panties, a box of epikool pak( 3 pieces inside), 2 bags of 30cm kotex pad, body wipes, tissue box, nursing booklet For baby when discharged: a hat, mittens and socks, swaddle, set of clothing. At the hospital for baby basically they’ll provide diapers, wet wipes, cotton wool

I’ll be delivering in NUH too. From your experience, what do they provide?

I gave birth at TMC. The only things I used… Charger, Kotex overnight panties. I just wear back the clothings I went in with & let baby wear hospital clothings. Bring along: Admission paper, invoices (to claim $900 Medisave), marriage certificate (if you intend to register birth certificate at hospital, no need if applying online) & IC.
