2 Nb outfits  & 2 0-3 Months outfits in case nb dont fit. Mittens. Beanies. Socks. Booties. Baby Blanket. 2 Recieving Blankets. a bottle & formula if you are formula feeding. Sometimes hospital gives you the nb bottle formula and some extra. Nb Pampers. Hospital also will give you those but doesnt hurt to pack some. And ur bag i suggest some comfy gowns unless breast feeding then easy to unbutton shirts from the front. Domt forget the slippers! . And warm socks lol Some granny pannys & pads. and some snacks after u have the baby u may be starving and not want to eat the hospital food !
