I'm a couple weeks away from delivering baby #3, and I've forgotten everything I learned from the first two. Any suggestions on what to pack, aside from the obvious clothes and toiletries? All the lists I look at online recommend bringing your own towel and pillow, but that seems like overkill to me. I'll deliver at Brooklyn Methodist, BTW. Thanks!
Congrats! A phone charger, I guess? I feel like I barely used most of what I packed. Maybe earplugs if you'll be sharing a room.
socks, chapstick, a colored washcloth
@Anon Why a colored washcloth, out of curiosity?
hospital linens are white so you can know its yours, and it will be fluffier and softer than the ones they provide.
Yes, but also bring like a little square tupperware or something to toss the chapstick and washcloth and stuff in. They have that over the bed table and stuff just rolls right off of it onto the floor. If you have a little plastic holder, then it won't.
@brooklynmom this is great advice, thank you!
I really liked having a bath robe so I did not have to walk the halls in my hospital gown.
