I have had 3 babies and have learned by the third time what I all needed for the hospital.  With my first delivery I had no clue what to bring and I brought just a few things like a baby outfit and clothes to go home in for myself, undies, socks and tooth brush.  Yup, that was it.  At that time I wasn’t big into Pinterst and none of my friends had babies or even my family, I was the first one.  So I had no one to help, I packed few things listed above and we brought along the car seat.  So the must have things I’ve learned to bring are:

• Phone charger
• reading book or magazine
• large pj’s for after delivery
• shampoo
• soap
• tooth brush and tooth paste
• bath robe
• clothes for going home in
• undies and socks
• sports bra or nursing bra
• brush and hair ties
• nursing pillow (life saver for nursing)
• deodorant
• SNACKS (must, must have!)
• baby blanket
• car seat cover
• 2 new born sleepers
• 2 0-3 sleepers

I didn’t have a fancy bag, I just packed it all into a gym bag and called it good.  I feel like the less bags to count and worry about the better lol. I packed new born outfits and 0-3 outfits just in case the baby didn’t fit into the new born size and sometimes the brand can make a different two.  I’m pretty sure Josie were a 0-3 home because she was so big.  Feel free to personalize this list, these are just things I brought with me.
