Hospital Bag Checklist

I stayed at Mt Alvernia. There will be basic toiletries, hair dryer and hospital gowns daily. Other than your own going home clothes and baby going home clothes and swaddle, you may want to consider the following: 1. nipple cream 2. extra disposable underwear / nursing bra 3. extra maternity pads 4. your breast pump (so that you can ask the nurse or lactation consultant on how to use it properly). 5. instant cold perineal pads (for natural delivery) 6. a postpartum belly support e.g. Belly Bandit or a belly binder (for belly support when you are walking) 7. Charger for phone 8. Perineal antiseptic spray and perineal spray bottle for pain relief (for natural delivery)
