What does the list of things for the maternity hospital include? Ask the reception department what you need to take with you and what things you don’t need. Each maternity hospital has its own rules and lists, which may change depending on the time of year.

Things for a child in the maternity hospital

It's better to take more than you need

The list of things to take to the maternity hospital consists of essential items for mother and child. You need to take only the essentials that you need all the time, otherwise you risk bringing a couple of extra suitcases with you. Therefore, when collecting things for an important event, be guided by the principle: only what you cannot do without. What are these things?

All the things you need should be divided into three parts:

• mother during the period before and during childbirth;
• mother, which are necessary during the postpartum period;
• newborn.

Some items, such as dishes, will be necessary for a woman throughout her stay in the maternity hospital. But it’s still better to pack yourself two separate bags. The first one should be unpacked immediately after admission to the maternity hospital (items that will be needed before the birth). Leave the second one for later. This will avoid unnecessary hassle and confusion.

One more thing: if you are planning a joint birth, collect a separate package for your husband.

When packing, be guided by the following principles:

• Pack the documents into a separate file or folder;
• Place all items strictly in plastic bags. Sanitary and epidemiological standards in maternity hospitals prohibit bringing leather or fabric bags from home;
• divide the list into 3 parts: to the delivery room, postpartum ward, discharge (and also to the husband, if the birth is joint). Prepare transparent bags and label them;
• You can leave the discharge package at home. Later his relatives will bring him.

What to take to the maternity hospital for your baby?

What things does a baby need in the maternity hospital? The most necessary things are:

• 4 diapers – 2 flannelette and 2 calico;
• vests and bodysuits – 2 pcs.;
• anti-scratch pads for a newborn's arms (babies are born with long nails and may injure themselves);
• hat and cap;
• jumpsuit and romper – 2 pcs.;
• big terry towel or blanket;
• packaging of diapers (size 0-1);
• packaging of disposable diapers;
• baby cream for a diaper for newborns (usually the doctor advises the woman which one is best to use);
• baby powder. Better than ordinary Soviet without aromatic additives;
• a pack of wet wipes for newborns;
• cotton swabs with a limiter for cleaning the nose and ears;
• safety scissors for newborns to trim nails;
• formula feeding bottle. Useful in case of lack of breast milk. Be sure to boil it at home;
• liquid soap for children.

Packing a bag with things

This full list things for the maternity hospital for the baby and mother. Coordinate it with your doctor, since some maternity hospitals prohibit taking cloth diapers and gowns with you, but give them to women in labor on the spot, just like disposable diapers.

When choosing clothes for a newborn, follow the rules:

1. Buy clothes for your baby only from natural fabrics. A newborn has vulnerable and thin skin, prone to allergies. The threads used to sew clothes must be cotton.
2. At first, until the baby gets used to the clothes, seams, fasteners, and seals will interfere with him. With this in mind, buy items that have ties and the seams facing out.
3. The rompers should have wide knitted rubber that will not damage the umbilical wound.
   Depending on the time of year, the list of clothes you need to bring with you may change.

in winter

In late autumn, winter, spring, take:

• a pair of warm bodysuits;
• warm socks or booties – 3-4 pairs;
• a warm wadded blanket so that the baby does not get cold while sleeping;
• warm hat – 2-3 pcs;
• A warm envelope will be useful for discharge in winter; you should buy it in a specialized store.

In summer

In summer or late spring, refuse a warm blanket and replace it with a blanket or terry towel. Replace all insulated items: bodysuits, overalls, socks, hats with lighter ones.

What to discharge your child in in the summer and spring, be guided by the weather. A demi-season or summer set is perfect. If it's cool, wrap your baby in an extra thin blanket or flannel diaper.

Medicines from home

What things will the mother need in the maternity hospital? Take with you:

• a cotton robe and a loose shirt. You can purchase the kit immediately;
• 2 pairs of warm socks, not wool ones. During and after childbirth, women often suffer from chills;
• rubber slippers that can be easily washed in the shower;
• drinking still water - at least 2 bottles of 0.5 liters each. Light food that does not spoil, a thermos with tea will come in handy;
• small terry towel for wiping your face cold water during childbirth;
• hygienic lipstick, which will prevent the appearance of cracks on the lips (during childbirth, lips become very dry);
• elastic bandages or stockings for women who have varicose veins veins;
• hair clip or elastic band;
• disposable toilet seat covers.

The baby in the delivery room will need:

• pilch;
• socks and anti-scratch pads;
• diaper;
• thin hat with ties;
• flannelette blanket.

These items are needed directly in the delivery room, so prepare them in advance, wash and iron them on both sides.

If you are planning a partner birth, take your husband:

• results of fluorography and other studies. Find out in advance at the maternity hospital what tests your partner needs to undergo in order to be allowed to give birth;
• clean clothes (T-shirt with light pants or surgical suit);
• disposable cap and mask, shoe covers.

Some maternity hospitals allow you to take a camera with you to take photos and videos.

Necessary documents for the maternity hospital

We take everything

When entering the maternity ward, a woman must have the following documents with her:

• ID card (passport and photocopy);
• individual exchange card for a pregnant woman (issued at the antenatal clinic). The card contains the results of examinations of the woman throughout the entire pregnancy;
• medical insurance policy;
• individual personal account insurance number (SNILS);
• referral from a gynecologist (issued at the antenatal clinic);
• birth certificate;
• birth contract (if available).

Don't forget about money. Take a small amount of cash and a plastic card. This will help you save money; if necessary, you can withdraw money from an ATM (they are installed in all modern maternity hospitals).

Hygiene items before childbirth

What mom will need

Before giving birth, a woman will need the following hygiene and care items:

• 2 towels – for hands and shower;
• a pack of disposable diapers 90x60 (necessary for examinations and childbirth);
• underwear – bras and panties;
• wet and dry wipes;
• enema. The intestines are cleaned at the beginning of contractions, but sometimes there is a need for a repeat procedure;
• bags for dirty laundry and garbage.

Postpartum period in hospital

After giving birth, a woman will need the following things:

• bras. Include a special nursing bra in your shopping list. Before purchasing, keep in mind that with the appearance of milk, your breasts will increase by at least 1 size;
• a shirt that fastens in the front and has straps to make feeding the baby convenient;
• disposable panties. After giving birth, your underwear will have to be changed frequently, but there will be no opportunity to wash it;
• slippers;
• mug, tablespoon and teaspoon, plate;
• personal care products: comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, shampoo;
• sanitary pads with maximum absorbency - especially for women in labor.

It won’t hurt to take with you a bag of dried goods, a pack of cookies, apples, and tea bags. Labor may end late at night, and the woman needs a snack. After childbirth, appetite increases, and canteens are closed at night.

For personal hygiene and recovery

You should also take with you:

• cream for cracked nipples. When the baby starts sucking the breast, the nipples will be injured. A special cream (Bepanten) will speed up the healing of cracks, and an ice cube will relieve pain. Prepare ice in advance and keep it in the refrigerator (assuming there is a freezer in the delivery room);
• postpartum bandage. It supports the abdominal muscles and prevents the skin from sagging after childbirth;
• glycerin suppositories. They will be useful if the birth was complicated and stitches were applied to the tears. In this case, you cannot push, but candles will help you go to the toilet without any problems;
• Magnesia. Useful for compresses in case of lactostasis;
• breast pump It will come in handy if for some reason you cannot feed your baby. It is difficult to express breasts with your hands, especially for beginners. A breast pump will ensure the preservation of milk and breastfeeding in this situation;
• thermometer for measuring the temperature of a newborn.

When leaving the maternity hospital, ask relatives to bring the child’s belongings:

• envelope for discharge. Focus on the weather. If it’s winter outside, buy a winter envelope, on sheepskin, if it’s summer, buy a thin one. In the off-season, an envelope with padding polyester is suitable;
• suit or overalls;
• cap;
• beautiful bow.

Things for mom to check out:

• decorative cosmetics;
• hair styling products;
• elastic bands, hairpins;
• beautiful clothes and shoes.

Make arrangements in advance to transport your baby home. Buy a bassinet or baby seat for your car.

Upon discharge from the maternity hospital, you should be given the following documents:

1. Child's birth certificate. It is required for registration with the Civil Registry Office.
2. Discharge summary of the development of the newborn. It should be given to the local pediatrician.
3. Extract from the birth history. Necessary for a gynecologist in a antenatal clinic.

These things will definitely come in handy

According to the rules, a woman in labor spends 3 days in the maternity hospital after giving birth. During this time, doctors examine the child and mother so as not to miss the development of complications. The following will help you brighten up your leisure time and keep yourself busy during this period:

• pen and paper for notes;
• player and headphones;
• books. Books about childbirth, caring for a newborn, and developmental features are useful.

If you forgot something, don’t worry. Every maternity hospital has a pharmacy where you can buy everything for mother and baby: powder, baby cream, diapers, pads, etc.

The due date is approaching, and the expectant mother begins to get ready for the maternity hospital. It’s better to prepare everything you need in advance than to not put something in in a hurry and then get upset. Before the exciting moment comes, let's find out what to take to the maternity hospital in order to feel comfortable there. The list consists of the necessary things and documents. Let's roughly divide it into three bags: for childbirth, after childbirth and for the baby. The fourth bag, intended for discharge, can be collected both before admission to the medical institution, and brought by relatives at the time of discharge from it.

It is advisable to put things for the baby in a separate bag or even ask relatives to bring them after the birth

Which bag is better to put things in?

According to sanitary standards and regulations (SanPin), it is prohibited to take bags made of leather, fabric or wicker into the maternity hospital. Such materials can spread germs and viruses. It is advisable to pack things in plastic bags. The bag should also be transparent so that you don’t have to dig through it for a long time to find the right thing. The hypothetical “three bags” cannot be taken literally. The staff of the institution is unlikely to allow you to bring 3-4 bags.

Stock up on one roomy bag, put all the prepared things in it, dividing them into sectors so that you know where everything is. By the way, you can buy a ready-made bag in a store if you find one that suits you. If you or someone in your family knows how to sew, make own version“alarm suitcase” for a woman in labor. For some mothers, regular ones are enough plastic bags with handles.

What documents should I take with me?

By being observed by a doctor throughout the entire period of pregnancy, you have acquired big amount medical documents and certificates. Some of them should be taken to a medical facility. Starting from the 32nd week, make it a rule to carry documents with you - the period set by the doctor may change at the request of your baby. If everything goes well, by week 36, start shopping and pack an “emergency suitcase” with things. Please also include the following documents:

• passport;
• pregnant woman’s exchange card with complete information about the course of pregnancy and test results;
• medical insurance policy giving the right to medical care;
• if you have an agreement with a medical institution, be sure to sign it;
• receipts for payment for a separate room and joint birth, if you decide to use these services.

The exchange card will give the obstetrician all the information about the course of pregnancy, so later you need to carry it with you at all times

By the way, regarding joint births. Your significant other also needs documents. Doctors will require your husband's passport and health certificate. This is done for the safety of the baby.

Calculate a certain amount of money that may be needed to buy medicine or pay for some services. Place large and small bills in your wallet. Understanding that the moment a new person is born is unpredictable, be sure to keep it in your purse or pocket mobile phone to quickly call an ambulance and notify relatives.

What things to prepare for childbirth?

The list of items that will be useful to you during childbirth is small. The service regulations in the maternity hospital include providing women in labor with the necessary clothing, but you can take washable slippers. However, each maternity institution sets its own rules; it is better for you to find out about their existence in advance. In theory you should collect:

• nightgown (loose-fitting);
• drinking water (1 liter or more if you so desire);
• towel (two possible);
• baby soap(liquid);
• disposable toilet seats;
• warm socks (not made of wool);
• You can grab a video camera or a camera if you want to preserve a joyful historical event in the life of your family.

Add to the bag with your things the equipment for the newborn, which the facility staff will put on him after the birth. Some institutions use their own baby diapers to change the baby. Find out this question in advance - you may not have to pack an outfit for your newborn, only for discharge. Stock up on the following:

• vest, bodysuit or blouse;
• diaper;
• you can put sliders;
• cap

Some maternity hospitals provide their own diapers and clothes for the newborn - this issue needs to be clarified in advance

Mothers who are about to give birth for the first time often wonder if it is possible to bring food with them. Believe me, when you give birth, you will definitely forget about any food. If you want to take something for a snack, you can stock up on dried candied fruits or fruits, cookies, crackers. Boiled eggs and broth will do. Don't overload your emergency bag so much that you can't lift it.

List of things for mom after childbirth

After giving birth, the mother spends approximately 3-5 days with her little treasure in the maternity hospital. What to pack for this period, what items would be appropriate for a nursing mother? Add some wardrobe items to your packing list. Be sure to include the products you use for personal hygiene. Stock up on the water and foods you ate before giving birth. If you want to look attractive, grab a cosmetic bag, but be sure to read our additional explanations in a separate review block. We have prepared the necessary list for you.

Cloth

• Clean nightgown, robe, slippers. Choose a model with a cutout that will provide convenient feeding chest. Some maternity facilities provide their own clothing, so check this in advance. Bring two pairs of warm socks if you are giving birth in winter.
• You need a special bra for breastfeeding, equipped with detachable nipple pockets. This product will provide you with comfortable feeding of your baby.
• If the maternity hospital does not provide underwear, take disposable panties (cotton, 3-5 pieces) and postpartum pads.
• You will also need pads under the bra, which perfectly absorb leaking milk. If you don’t take them, all your clothes will be stained, which will turn sour and begin to smell bad.
• Take care of your figure - grab it.

Using a bandage immediately after childbirth will help you regain your figure faster

Hygiene products

• The usual set for daily care: toothbrush, shampoo, soap, body care cream, deodorant (roll-on), shower gel (see also:). Disposable toilet seats. Moms whose birth ended in stitches can ask someone close to them to bring them the softest kind of toilet paper.
• Remedy against. Choose one that doesn't need to be washed off. Cracks appear in many mothers and cause pain when feeding. The cause is improper attachment of the newborn to the breast. Buy Bepanten or D-Panthenol cream.
• Glycerin suppositories. Helps with problems with stool.

Food, cutlery, leisure items

The items presented in this section do not need to be taken with you on the day of admission to the maternity hospital. Relatives can convey any of them to you during a visit. Cutlery items can be limited to a mug and a teaspoon. You can make entries on cellular telephone. We have compiled a sample list:

The question about medications is asked often. A maternity hospital is a medical institution where, if necessary, you will be given any remedy for headaches, nausea, or more serious medications. To mothers who know what they are in for C-section, you should clarify the list of necessary medicines from doctors at a maternity hospital or perinatal center.

Additional explanations of important items

We will answer the questions that inevitably arise among mothers going to the maternity hospital. People often ask about pads, wondering which ones are best for postpartum hygiene. Pharmacies offer special postpartum pads, which may be called postoperative or urological pads. Made from material that absorbs moisture as much as possible. One package is enough. If you think you can get by with regular overnight pads, take them.

When choosing a gown, find out whether the institution provides government-issued sterile clothing items. If you can bring your own clothes, choose a light cotton robe with a zipper or wraparound - such clothing will not restrict your movements and will ensure comfortable breastfeeding. It is advisable that the product have pockets for various women's small items (hairpin, hairpin, hair tie, handkerchief, telephone).

While listing things, we talked about soap. You should not use a lot of detergents. You can take with you liquid baby soap, which will be enough for both you and your baby.

There is one more nuance and it is connected with the recommendations of doctors. Doctors advise a woman who has given birth to wash her genitals with laundry soap. Please note that the procedure must be superficial. Wash the external seams and surface of the body with soap; under no circumstances use it to wash the interior. The alkali contained in laundry soap has a negative effect on the vaginal mucosa, especially when it is inflamed or damaged during childbirth.

Regular laundry soap is perfect for intimate hygiene women in labor

List of things for a newborn

Collecting clothes and accessories for a newborn is the most enjoyable moment for a mother. Looking through children's clothes, she lives in anticipation of immense happiness. A rough list looks like this:

• . Product size 0 or 1 (weight 2-5 or 3-6 kg). A pack of 28 pieces is enough.
• The soap is, of course, for children. You can take liquid, for solid, grab a soap dish.
• Hygienic products made of cotton wool (discs, sticks with a limiter). They will be needed to clean the ears and nose of the baby, and to lubricate the umbilical wound.
• Disposable baby wipes or handkerchiefs.
• . Since you cannot predict your baby's reaction to the product, take the cream in a small tube.
• . As a rule, they are issued in maternity hospitals. If you think you trust your own things more, take 2 of cotton fabric and 2 from flannel (size - 60x90). If financial possibilities allow, buy disposable diapers.
• Soft fabric towel.
• Vests, blouses, bodysuits. Choose models sewn with external seams. Take them at the rate of one for each day, approximately 4-5 pieces.
• If the blouse has open sleeves on the wrists, put on anti-scratch mittens.
• Cotton rompers or overalls, 4-5 pieces.
• Cotton or flannel cap - the choice of fabric depends on the season. Buy 2 pieces of the same size.

Let's take a closer look at diapers. Doubts about their quantity, size, and brand plague many young mothers. Forget about gauze right away, reusable diapers and diapers, stick only to disposable diaper models. Choose the brand according to your own taste, limit the quantity to a small package. Buy what you like, but based on our recommendations. When you return home with your child, choose better diapers.

Disposable diapers are perfect for the maternity hospital, which you can choose to your taste

What things to take when leaving the maternity hospital?

The selection of items for discharge from the maternity hospital depends on the time of year. Women are most concerned about the equipment of their newborn.

Summer

In summer you can get by with a cap, a vest or a light blouse and rompers. Additionally, wrap the baby in a thin blanket or envelope. For a trip in the car, dress your baby in cotton overalls.

Autumn/Spring

The joyful event took place in the off-season - choose your baby’s equipment based on the weather. Choose a demi-season overall for your baby, wearing warm underwear underneath. If discharge occurs at the beginning of winter or spring, use a set of clothes for the cold season, which we described above. The main thing is not to overwrap your newborn so that he does not overheat; stick to a reasonable decision.

Winter

Now let's see what a baby born in winter needs to take. Add a warm hat, insulated envelope or overalls (preferably transformable) to your summer underwear set. It is better to transport your baby in a car in outerwear, since it is difficult to thread the baby seat belts under a blanket or envelope. Remember - the rules for transporting children in a car require the use of a special car seat. Romper, vest and cap, which are worn under outerwear, take flannel ones.

Clothing for mom should be comfortable and appropriate for the weather. It is unlikely that you will be able to easily squeeze yourself into the jeans you wore before pregnancy. The belly has not yet gone away without a trace and tight clothes will cause you discomfort, even if they fit. Choose loose clothing for your own outfit: skirt, dress, cardigan, sundress. Take shoes with low heels or without them. Let them bring your cosmetic bag from home - you want to look beautiful in memorable photos.

What should you not bring to the maternity hospital?

Remember that your stay in the maternity hospital is limited to 3-5 days. There is no need to pack as if you were going to the sea for a month. Decorative cosmetics- This is a matter of child safety. Contact with a baby who has just come into this world must be absolutely safe for him. Powder, eye shadow, and lipstick can get on the baby’s body and cause allergies. The maximum you can afford is to slightly tint your eyelashes.

Do not use strong scents. The baby should feel the smell of his mother, which he recognizes as native and protective. Feeling the natural maternal aroma, the baby sleeps peacefully, eats well, and comfortably gets used to its new environment. Forget about the pacifier if you plan to feed your baby breast milk. A pacifier in a maternity hospital is an extra accessory. The baby is suckling well and is quite happy.

Most women are familiar with the trepidation before childbirth. By experiencing and rejoicing at the same time, you are preparing for the greatest sacrament. Practicality is good and you will of course take all the necessary things with you. However, the most important thing that you will bring to the maternity hospital is great love for the one who is about to be born. We wish you the easiest birth so that your treasure is born healthy and strong.

In the last months of pregnancy, expectant mothers pack their bags for the maternity hospital. This is a labor-intensive process, because you cannot remember and buy everything in one day. That is why it is necessary to make a list in advance of the things that you may need in the antenatal department, during childbirth and after the baby is born.

List of clothes for a newborn in the maternity hospital

Buying a lot of tiny outfits for all occasions is not worth it. The fact is that at this age, kids grow extremely quickly, so before you know it, your wardrobe will need to be changed or replenished.

While still in maternity leave Before the baby is born, you can take care of buying an envelope or blanket for discharge. Here you need to focus on the time of year and the gender of the unborn baby in order to be able to choose the appropriate color.

In order to buy an envelope for discharge, to the expectant mother You don’t have to tire yourself out with shopping; it’s much more convenient to make a purchase in an online store, where there is a huge assortment for every color and budget.

In the maternity hospital itself, apart from diapers and wet wipes for the baby, I personally didn’t need anything. Since diapers are provided in a medical facility and changed regularly, and as such, clothing for a newborn is not required if the room is warm. If it’s cool in the maternity hospital, take a couple of caps, a vest and socks for the baby.

So, here is the most complete list of clothes for a newborn in the maternity hospital:

• diapers
• wet wipes
• pack of disposable diapers
• vest
• caps
• socks.

What clothes will a newborn need after leaving the hospital?

Modern obstetricians do not encourage swaddling even newborns, so the first clothes for your baby after discharge may be a onesie or a vest and rompers.

More comfortable for a mother who has not yet learned how to handle her child are overalls (men). They are easy to use as they can be completely unfastened. You need to buy at least 3-4 of them.

If it’s winter outside, then it’s better to abandon simple fleece or cotton diapers in favor of warmer flannelette diapers. You need at least 10 of them (5 flannelette and 5 cotton).

Waiting for a baby is always accompanied by pleasant chores and preparations to meet him. Since the fall, pregnant girls who are going to give birth in the winter months have been thinking about what they need to buy for a newborn, making a list of things to take to the maternity hospital for the baby in the winter. In order not to forget anything, “Popular about health” will help new mothers prepare for this important event.

Hygiene items

Hygiene items are the first thing you need to take to the maternity hospital in winter. The baby needs the following things on the list:

1. Diapers.
2. Wet wipes.
3. Pacifier.
4. Bottle.
5. Soap (preferably liquid).
6. Sterile cotton wool or cotton pads.

Caring for the baby begins from birth. Already in the maternity hospital you will need to wash your child, wipe his body with napkins, wash and change diapers. He may need a pacifier and a bottle (in case the milk doesn't come in).

Clothes, linen

What to take for your baby in winter? What should I dress my baby in? Usually maternity hospitals provide a list of permitted things. It includes:

1. Two flannelette diapers.
2. Two cotton diapers.
3. Waterproof diaper.
4. A pair of vests.
5. Scratches.
6. Sliders - a pair.
7. Hat.
8. Cotton bodysuit.
9. Thin blanket or blanket.
10. Socks – two pairs.

Please note that all things for the child need to be natural - made of cotton, chintz, including a hat. Choose clothes that are easy to put on and take off, especially if you are a first-time mother and have no experience with a newborn. Doctors recommend taking baby undershirts to the maternity hospital just to make mothers’ work easier. They are much easier to put on a baby than a blouse without fasteners. A baby blanket or blanket may be needed if the maternity hospital is not warm enough. Everyone knows what kind of windows are in hospitals - most often they are old wooden structures with many cracks. To keep your baby from freezing, it is better to have something warm with you.

What to take for discharge to the maternity hospital in winter?

Discharge is a happy event for all parents, but you also need to prepare for it in advance. What do babies usually wear when leaving the hospital? In winter, the above list will have to be supplemented with the following things:

1. Diaper.
2. Cotton hat.
3. Cotton bodysuit.
4. Socks.
5. Plush or fleece overalls.
6. Scratches.
7. An elegant diaper with embroidery.
8. Winter hat.
9. Thermal or fur winter overalls.
10. Envelope (used in severe frost and wind).
11. Ribbon of the appropriate color.

Sometimes it happens that in winter the weather suddenly changes and the thermometer rises above zero degrees. In this case, you need to dress your child according to the weather. You can remove the fleece overalls, leaving only the cotton underwear, put on a winter overalls with fur, and leave a warm hat. The envelope should not be used in such weather, otherwise the baby will overheat.

How to prepare a child's things for the maternity hospital?

If you have already made a list for your baby to go to the maternity hospital, take care of their cleanliness. All clothes and diapers need to be washed, even if they are new and packaged in cellophane. For washing you will need a powder designed specifically for children, it is less allergenic. You can find household chemicals for newborns on sale, they are marked “0-3”. Such powders and detergents are considered safer.

Wash absolutely all the items prepared according to the list for the maternity hospital, and after drying, be sure to iron them. Then carefully fold the clothes and diapers. All this should be done shortly before the expected date of birth. It is unacceptable to prepare things 2-3 months in advance, as they will become covered with a layer of dust and will no longer be clean.

What else to take to the maternity hospital?

The expectant mother should carefully consider what she will need in the maternity ward. When packing, rely on the list given to you by the hospital, but it does not include most of the items you will need. For example, it does not contain such important things as a phone charger, chapstick, toothbrush and toothpaste. It is important for you not to forget to take all this and much more with you.

Think about what you will do when the baby is sleeping. Perhaps you could read or do embroidery during this time, if that's what you like to do. Such activities are useful and can brighten up everyday life in the maternity hospital. It would be useful to take a couple of bottles of purified drinking water and some biscuits with you to snack on. Don't forget your hygiene items - soap, washcloth, shower cap and rubber slippers. Ask your friends what else might be useful in the maternity hospital. The stay there, although not long, is still associated with discomfort, since at a certain moment the much-needed item will not be available.

So, what should you take with you to the maternity hospital for your baby in winter? These are personal hygiene items, linen, clothing, a warm blanket, as well as elegant items for discharge. Be careful when making your list, try not to forget anything. If something is out of stock, there is still time to buy it. As winter approaches, prepare all your items by washing and ironing them.
