Hi! The only thing I ended up using was my charger, pajamas, slippers, and newborn clothes. The hospital provided everything else🩷

@Mari same here! You really don’t need much! The only thing I regret not bringing was a fan! 🥵

Lots I didn’t end up using. Get yourself something to shower with that you enjoy, they didn’t have a hairdryer there btw. Would recommend the frieda knickers or shorts, lil let’s maternity pads for 0-3 weeks pp. especially if your waters break it’s a constant flow that no pad managed, try having some adult diapers handy just in case. I brought coloured pink Vaseline so to use as chapstick and make up and some undereye corrector. Pillows and bed were comfy. Bring a vest, body grow (zipper ones are much easier to use), diapers, muslin, wipes, hats. Toothbrush and toothpaste for mum and dad, comfy change of clothes for dad. Something to watch in the evening if you’re around for a few days. Yeti bottles for hot cold drinks is a nice to have alongside maternity bras.

If you’re planning to breastfeed, nipple butter/cream, and silverettes! I didn’t have the silverettes the first few days and ended up with a lotttt of irritation. I bought them a few days after birth and they really helped!
