Mommy’s Hospital Bag

Maternity Pijamas

You’ll want easy-to-wear clothes and something breast-feeding friendly if you are planning to breastfeed your baby. I recommend getting gowns since it’ll be a lot easier mostly for the first 48hrs for nurses or doctors to check you and also change your diaper. These are the ones I ordered for myself and made me feel comfortable and I continue to use them at home. I took four pajamas, one for each day, but in my experience, I recommend you take at least one extra just in case you get dirty with anything from blood to food.

Adult Pampers and Pads

We bought adult pampers in Arrocha in a run looking for the last things we needed before heading to the hospital. But here are some you can also order from amazon.

Adult Wipes

Soap Bar

Breast Pump
I started using my breast pump straight from the hospital. I wasn’t producing much milk yet but between Rafaella being breastfed and me pumping in between feeding I managed to stimulate myself enough to start producing 2oz from each breast 4 days in my breastfeeding journey. I really like my breast pump because it’s powerful and helps allows me pump pretty fast. It’s a little uncomfortable to travel or move around but still, I’ve managed to take it with me wherever I go. You can use it plugged in or charged.
