This is my first, “Tell all Tuesday” post of the new year!
I basically pick a fun topic, once a month, on a Tuesday, to talk about with you guys!
Today’s topic is all about, our hospital bags!!!
We are packed and ready when baby says, it’s time!!!
Our bags are by the door…. literally!
~
So.. let’s talk about the things I packed! This is my first baby so I hope I did okay packing! I packed what I thought was important + took advice from a few others!
Disclaimer: I’ve been told the hospital will have a lot of the things I’ve packed BUT I’d rather have it & not need it than need it & not have it! Plus it’s nice to have your own things.

Baby’s Bag:
-Diapers
-Wipes
-Newborn bottles/ breast pump
(I’m using the Medela to start with because that pump was free through my insurance and had a lot of great reviews! If breastfeeding goes well for me & baby in the beginning, I plan on upgrading to a cordless pump- the Elvie! It will definitely be a splurge so I want to make sure breastfeeding is going to work for us first!)
-Several swaddle blankets
-Several burp cloths
-Newborn pacis
-Socks
-Baby lotion
