Hospital Bag: DONE!

This is the one thing that I procrastinate on a lot. I don't really like packing, be it for holiday even. Because I'll end up with heaps of unnecessary things shoved inside the bag for no apparent reason. And the same goes while I was packing for the baby and my hospital bag. Eventho I have the checklist to refer to, I still ended up with a few things, just for the sake of thinking 'maybe it's not enough'. Hahaha!

Let's start with the baby's stuff first, shall we?

Baby care items are included in my list of hospital bag for baby, eventho most people said these aren't going to be used but I just like to be prepared. It's completely okay if these items stay inside the bag as long as I know I have all the things ready should I need them later. I bought a travel size for all items so it won't take much space.

6x diapers

1x baby wipes

1x set of travel pack toiletries 

1x minyak telon

1x minyak yuyi

1x vicks

The main stuff, baby clothes! I think I've brought a sufficient need for her stay in the hospital. It includes:

2x swaddle wraps

1x receiving blanket

2x set mittens and booties

1x towel

3x baby binder

3x button-front clothes

1x hat

From the list of clothes above, I've separated it to after-birth clothes and going-home clothes. Referring to an entry from Mama Lynd, this is going to be my baby's first clothes right after delivery. I've briefed my husband regarding this already and packed this set of attire in a separate paper bag so it'll be easier for him when the nurse asked for the baby's blanket and tops. Just take it out from the bag and pass it on to the nurse.

As for the going-home clothes (nak jugekkkkkkkkk!), I've packed something fancy yet simple for the baby since she's still a newborn. Who doesn't want her baby to look cute, right? Hahaha alasan nak dress up semata!

Okay, since we're done with the baby's hospital bag, let's move further to mummy's hospital bag now:

Mummy's care regiment is a must! I bought everything in a travel size to save space as possible as I could.

1x pack maternity pads

1x set toiletries

1x make-up kit

As for the clothes, I packed a few pieces just in case there are leaking and whatnots.

3x button-front tops

3x kain batik

1x sweater

3x thick socks

3x nursing bras

1x pack disposable panties

1x towel

1x pack disposable breast pads

1x nipple cream

Apart from these things. I also think this is worth consider to be packed inside your bag too just in case (which I think is necessary!):

Instant drinks (Milo/Horlicks)

Light snacks (dates/biscuits)

Handphone charger

Novel/magazine (to kill time)

Okay, once everything is all sorted out, they can all go inside the bag and I can now wait for the day to come. The owl bag belongs to the baby while the other one belongs to mummy. Now we're ready to go!
