For baby I packed a 3 pack of onesies with the matching pants, hats, mittins, socks & shoes also headbands with the matching recieveing blankets & soft blanket. I also packed her a cute dress with matching headband to take pictures in & a minnie mouse onesie to go home in. Also packed her some pacifiers since the hospital provides the premade bottles & diapers. For me I packed the travel size shampoo, conditioner, body wash & face wash, body scrubber & toothbrush with toothpaste. I packed a brush, q-tips, my own towel, pads, hemmroid wipes, comfy underware & bra also a gown with slippers & also a going home outfit. Yes I also am going to bring my makeup & hair straightener because that's how I am & I want nice pictures lol

If you're going to breastfeed bring a nursing bra.. comfy granny panties (a couple pair), possibly a robe, toiletries, a comfy outfit to go home in.

Well pack at least 2-3 sets of baby clothes, Binkies/pacifiers, bottles (if need be), baby blanket, receiving blanket. And for you, pack 2-3 sets of clothes (I packed pjs), nursing bras (if your gonna breast feed), slippers, pads (if the hospitals aren't thick enough for you), and the toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, razor, body wash, tooth brush, toothpaste, extra phone charger, watever else you think you might need)
