Oh yea, they won't let that baby go hungry. Lol .. my hospital gives little bottles of liquid formula if you're not breastfeeding, already has the nipple on it and everything. Lol... you could always call your hospital and see what all they provide for you and babe to get a better idea of what to bring. All I'm taking though is a change of clothes to go home in, and a cute outfit for babe. One thing I did make sure to bring though is a little pair of mittens for the baby (baby socks can work too) bc they tend to scratch their face if you don't keep their hands covered and my hospital doesn't provide that.

Sounds like you're pretty set to me, I packed the bare minimum since the hospital provides mostly every thing, and I'm taking an extra bag with me bc most hospitals have stuff like diapers, baby t-shirts and formula and what not that you are allowed to take home (you can empty out the bassinet daily most places), so I plan to stock up on it all. Lol
