Those r good lists. If you like good lotion take your own. You may need nail clippers for the baby, some hospitals won't cut their nails(mine wont)
Thank you so much ladies :)

I'm a ftm and from my recent stay I would say you need slippers or really good socks your on gown or lose fitting pajamas and going home outfit makeup toothbrush n paste hair accessories and pads for babies nice onesis they keep them wrapped so he/she won't need a every day outfit just one to leave in and if you're getting pics taken at the hospital one for that you can pack a baby sack with the wipes and diapers of your choice but they provide that and more for baby's stay
so I was in the same predicament and had no idea what to pack then I looked online and the lists of stuff I couldn't believe how much they wanted me to take so aweek ago two friends of mine that have had babys helped a lot as you don't want to over pack and If I had followed the advice of some of the list online Id be taking to suitcase lol so in my bag I packed if as if I was going away for the weekend toiletries,phone charger, pj's breast pad (if ur breast feeding) you might want to take a camera but il have my phone so not worried there and something lose to where home and closer to the time il add a drink and breakfast bars for the baby she has 3 grows all sleeved as she going to be a winter baby a blanket (which am actually sleeping with she she will know my scent) about 4 nappys not taking to many as they might not fit going home out fit hat gloves and 4 Muslim clothes I was taking cotton balls for her first change but the hospital will have that don't forget change for the car park and sanitary towels maternity one for after Birth I think that's it but can't remember lol don't forget your midwife notes as well hope this helped and made sense lol x
It's not too soon. Anything could happen so it's best to be prepared for it in advanced mine has been packed since I was 28 weeks.
I would say 35 weeks would be the best time . but anything could happen always best to stay on the safe side . . .
For baby . the hospital WILL provide you with diapers . wash cloths . and milk if your not breast feeding . so no need to pack that
Baby: 2-3 outfits [onseis) baby socks hats & mittens so baby won't scratch his/her face. 1 burp rag . 1 pacifier . & a baby blanket .
Also make sure to pack a cute going home outfit as well as a cute outfit to take pictures because photographers will stop by your room to take pictures
Tip: I fit as many diapers and formula that they gave me in my back pack to take home came in extremely handy. Take advantage . FREE diapers & formula are expensive
Mom: 2-3 pairs of comfertable pjamas . socks, slippers . underwear . hair ties.
This is my second baby I felt so uncomfortable and ugly when they came to take pictures lol so this time I'm taking my straightner (they have blow dryer] concealer. And mini travel kit shampoo, conditioner, lotion brush ) My own pads the ones they provide are extremely uncomfortable . camera/phone and a mini blanket if you want to feel a little More at home and your going home outfit as well .
