what should be in baby’s bag

Here’s what you need to pack in your baby’s bag to prepare for the BIG day

REMEMBER: Always pack your bags a few days before you’re expected to go into labour!

Pack these:
Vaseline
Light blankets or muslin wraps x 2
Disposable baby wipes
Baby face cloths x 2
Newborn-sized dummy
Newborn bodysuits x 2 each
Newborn pyjamas if colder weather
Socks x 2 pairs
Booties
Cotton hat
Going-home outfit
Baby oil (great for cleaning up baby’s bottom after meconium nappies)
Formula, bottles, teats, and sterilizing equipment if you plan to bottle-feed
Wet wipes
Baby blanket
Baby powder
Bum cream



Helpful tips:

• Keep plastic bags in your baby’s hospital bag, as certain liquids in the bag might spill and spoil your nappies and clothing. You can also use them to be more organised and know exactly where everything is.
• If you have animals at home, take a spare blanket to the hospital and transfer your baby’s scent onto it. This will help your pets adapt to your new addition.
