Hospital bag checklist for baby
Yaaay, the baby is almost here ♥!
At the end of your pregnancy, you start preparing for the delivery, which is exciting enough as it is! There are a number of things that are important for you as a mom, but there are also things for the baby that you shouldn't forget. To help you as a mom, we have created this list of what to take to the hospital for the baby and what is essential for your hospital bag:
Checklist of baby essentials to take to the hospital:
Below is a list of baby essentials to take to the hospital:
Birth outfit:
Prepare 3 newborn sets in size 44, size 50, and size 56.
Newborn sets:
- Onesie
- Pants, sweater, or romper/footie
- Hat to protect your baby's head from external elements
- Socks
- Mittens
- Jacket or bunting suit
- Baby blanket
- Swaddle blanket (tip)
Tip: use baby clothing made of 100% cotton for your baby's delicate skin.
Tip: use wrap-around onesies. They are the easiest, as you don't have to pull them over the baby's delicate head.
Tip: put the newborn sets into freezer bags and write the size on each set. This makes it easy for your partner to find the right baby clothes while you recover from the delivery.
Transport:
Make sure the car seat is ready in the car. You are not allowed to take the baby out of the hospital without a car seat.
- Car seat (Maxi-Cosi)
- Footmuff for the car seat. A footmuff keeps your baby nice and warm; this is an essential item, especially in winter.
Diapers:
You can bring a few diapers and baby wipes just in case, but the hospital will also have these for you.
