You can buy them already packed off eBay! All you need to do is add clothes for you and baby :)

I only packed one outfit for myself because I'm expecting to stay in the gown while I'm there. A few underwear and pads though I'll use the hospitals if comfortable. Oh and mouthwash For baby one going home outfit. And two onesies. Two blankets a beenie and gloves. My hospital stay is usually 1 day and I know because my mom has delivered there.

The hospital I'm going to will provide diapers, wipes, baby hospital outfits hats blankets & pretty much everything the baby needs.even a carseat. They'll also provide pads & netted undies for the mommas.

All I'm going to bring for my baby is his going home outfit, & some extra blankets even tho everything the hospital provides they send yu home with bunches of it.& for myself I'm bringing an outfit to go home in soaps(cuss I don't like hospital soap & other toiletries cuss I use a certain kind of pad lol. & of course my charger phone & camera & snacks

I packed 3 outfits for me and outfits for my boyfriend. I honestly stayed in the hospital gown the whole time til the day I left. I needed help getting out of bed to pee and I just found it easier. I just used the hospital undies. They were amazingly comfortable! And then i packed a million outfits for my baby but it was easier to leave him in a diaper and a receiving blanket to change him quicker. But my hospital didn't supply me with shampoo or anything other than towels and washcloths. I just waited til I got home and showered really good for almost an hour in a half.
