The hospital bag
The 3 things I would always have in my hospital bag now that I'm a mum of 2
It’s so funny, the first time I packed my hospital bag it was all about the baby and very little about me. Second time round I learnt just how important postpartum and self care really is. The first few days as a new Mum you want to be comfortable and have a little bit of luxury if you can.
01 - Adult Nappies
I actually didn’t put these in my first hospital bag, but second time I did and they were sooo incredible! Are they sexy? Not at all. Are they super comfy and practical? Absolutely
02 - Nice Shower Gel
When I had baby number 2 I took some nice shower gel for the first shower after birth and seriously it was amazing. It just made me feel good. But the one reason why its so special, EVERY TIME I smell this shower gel now I am transported to the memories of such a special time in my life.
03 - Colostrum
For some reason nobody told me about expressing colostrum before I had my first Bub which left me behind the 8 ball from day one. With number 2 I had a colostrum kit which I used from 37 weeks and it is seriously one of the best things I did. I used the Milk Co one and would highly recommend it.
Ok I know I said 3 but I can tell you a few bags of hidden lollies and chocolate bars were absoluetly stashed in my bag too! they are also essential!
