What I’m Packing in my Hospital Bag with Lo&Sons
I’m 39 weeks now and I finally got my hospital bag packed. I put it off for quite some time, but I do feel so much better now that it’s done. The Catalina Deluxe Bag from Lo&Sons saved the day again and made it so simple for me to pack all of the necessities for the baby and myself.
I obviously haven’t done this in a few years, so I asked all of you for some advice on what to pack. I do remember when I had Caroline, I packed way too much. I think I even packed magazines. Joke is on me!
The Catalina Deluxe Bag has different compartments nestled within it, so I have a place for my things and the baby’s things.
The Catalina has a bottomed zippered section where you could put shoes or anything you’d like. I decided to use this section for the baby’s outfits, swaddle, formula and bottles.
I have plenty of room in the main part of the bag for my toiletries, clothes; and you can’t forget comfy socks! Speaking of toiletries, Aillea Beauty made it easy for me with packing for the hospital. I use the same cosmetic bag that is filled with travel essentials from Aillea for the gym, trips and now the hospital. I just replenish it when I run out.
Here’s a list of exactly what I packed this go around:
For Baby:
Ollie Swaddle: I used the Ollie with Charlie and brought it to the hospital. It was great to get him used to it right from the start, so I plan on doing the same with this baby.
Muslin Blanket for pictures.
Two gender neutral outfits
Pacifier
Two different types of bottles
For Mom:
Two nightgowns, a new maternity one from LAKE and one of my cozy Eileen West ones.
LAKE robe- I’ve actually had this robe for 5 years now. I wore it at the hospital when I had Charlie.
A comfy dress to wear home
Toiletries
Lavender oil
Yogasleep portable sound machine (yes for me and the baby, especially when the nurses are in and out of my room)
Comrad compression socks
