In case if baby doesn't latch properly or too sleepy, pumping helps the milk to come in faster so its good to bring. =)

for my 1st childbirth... i just packed the barest minimum into my hospital bag... i literally brought exactly those things in my own list... already quite bulky... some more, my hubby also suggested bringing along chicken essence :eek:11::eek:15:


during hospital stay... i used every single one of them i packed... none was redundant... except for the diapers, baby vest, swaddling cloth and bath towel... :eek:16::p because i realized my hospital did provide those items for newborn, including baby wet wipes and bath towel


i chose private-class ward (due to need for privacy)... noticed they got give mini toiletries set of comb, face towel, shower cap and toothbrush kit in a pouch... but can bring home after use


different hospitals vary individually... so may provide different things for toiletries, if you opt for their private ward... i think single bed is the best
Thanks for the info, but does government hospital provide those as well or did you go for some private hospital?

Hi I am not sure if my maternity dress is suitable for breast feeding. When I bought it, the lady said the dress infront got 2 openings just nice for breast feeding. But that time I just bought it cos I think the dress is pretty so buy for maternity use. But now think of what that lady said I can use is as my breast feeding gown?

PLEASE NOTE:

If your husband is staying overnight with you at the hospital, do remember to pack a few of his essentials into your hospital bag as well.

Start preparing your hospital bag, during your 2nd trimester. I suggest not to wait till 3rd trimester, as there were some mummies who happened to give birth earlier than expected. Furthermore, you may still need extra time to complete your shopping for baby items, during 3rd trimester.

Just never wait till the very last minute. Begin planning and preparing from your 2nd trimester onwards. Especially when your pregnancy has more or less stabilized after the critical 1st trimester.

ALL THE BEST !!
