Packing my hospital bag as a mom of 3
As a mom of three, below are some of my tried and true essentials for packing an efficient and effective hospital bag.
Remember the hospital will provide you and baby with everything you need! Take advantage of this while you are there and don’t lug unnecessary diapers/care items. You will of course need your car-seat, insurance, any hospital paperwork, mildly scented toiletries for you and your partner as well as a pillow from home for comfort if you choose (I did, and nixed a nursing pillow!). I always brought an assortment of nourishing snacks that I knew I would enjoy having around like Dates, protein bars, trail mix and granola.
