Nipple soothing cream. Like lanolin. I had to buy some at the hospital pharmacy and cost a fortune!

For myself: robe, sweatpants, shirts, toiletries,  hair ties, hair band, bras, socks, slippers, underwear, phone chargers, nursing pads, a big hoody. (I would pack clothes that you fit into around 5-6months pregnant because your uterus isnt going to be back to normal size right after birth)

For baby: blankets, 2 newborn outfits, 2 0-3 outfits, scratch mittens,  hats, a jacket, socks, a few newborn and size 1 diapers, wipes, pacifier (if you choose to want your baby to have one), car seat

what others have mentioned as well as some clothes for your SO.   they won't be thinking about it but it may be nice incase something happened and they need them.    Also i was told that the hospital here doesn't prvide diapers, wipes or cloths any more so pack some of those just in case

Hats bibs socks cloths blankets and caraeat for baby. I had a c section and stayed 4 days, so I brought mini bottles on shampoo conditioner, deodorant tooth brush and paste, comfortable clothes like a night gown with socks and I used granny under wear. Lol, pillow blanket if wanted, it is cold so I got fluffy slippers to walk around in. Also youll need a going home outfit.
