Packing Your Hospital Bag for Delivery in Washington DC

Hey mamas-to-be! It’s Nataly Danilova here, your newborn photographer in Vienna, VA. But first, there’s that exciting hospital stay. Packing your hospital bag? Don’t sweat it, mama. Let’s make it comfy and stress-free for you and your mini-me.

We’re talking cozy clothes, pampering essentials, and everything to keep you feeling prepped and, most importantly, comfy. Packing like a pro means you can focus on the real prize: meeting your little rockstar!

Must-Haves for You

Comfort Above All: Delivery day is epic, but let’s be real, you’ll want major comfort afterward. Pack loose PJs or soft nightgowns that are easy to nurse in. A comfy robe that opens at the front is a lifesaver. Trust me, new-mom life can be messy, so opt for darker colors!

Postpartum: Hospitals provide some stuff, but having your favorite maternity pads or adult diapers is a game-changer. Pack disposable nursing pads (leaks happen!), and a peri bottle for post-delivery relief.

Your Self-Care Essentials: Pack your usual toiletries, travel-sized if you can. Don’t forget a comfy bra (nursing or sports work great!).

Entertainment & Sanity Savers: Pack your phone charger (extra long – hospital outlets are weird!), a book, or a tablet loaded with your fave shows. Snacks like granola bars or trail mix are great for energy boosts. Make sure to catch some sleep amidst the hospital hustle.

Packing for Your Little Tiny Human

Going-Home Outfit: This is the fun part! Pack a cute outfit for your baby – something soft, comfy, and easy to put on those sleepy little limbs. Don’t forget a matching hat and mittens to keep them warm on the ride home.

Diapers: Hospitals usually provide diapers and wipes, but pack a travel-sized pack of your preferred brand for peace of mind. Throw in some diaper rash cream – better safe than sorry!

Swaddle Power: Swaddling helps newborns feel secure and sleep soundly. Pack a few lightweight muslin swaddles and a cozy receiving blanket to keep your baby warm and snug.

Feeding Time: If you plan to breastfeed, pack nipple cream and nursing pads. If you’re formula-feeding, check with your pediatrician about what formula and bottles to bring.
