Excellent Trin!!
So exciting! You haven't been up this late on BnB in weeks
Ref. pics of Holly a year ago- I find it incredible when I see how new and clean and fluffy Monkey was a year ago and his eyes weren't all scratched!
SARACHKA!-
This is the list from my hospital- my translation might be odd since I don't always know the English words for baby vocab! Remember in France we all stay 3 days for a normal birth, whereas in the UK they kick you out the same day, so you may not need so much
The table lamp made me laugh but I'm deffo taking one, at my last hospital they didn't suggest that and I had that awful neon strip lighting to put on each feed!
For me-
Nightwear that opens easily if breastfeeding
Disposable knickers, big size and preferably netting ones
Can of water spray
Radio or MP3 player
Comfy clothes for daywear, with breastfeeding bra
Big sanitary towels
Toilet bag
Towel
Flip flops for the shower
Small table lamp for night feeds
Slippers
Breast feeding cushion
For Baby
4 bodies
2 cardigans (just 1 if summer)
4 pyjamas
1 hat
4 pairs socks
Sleeping bag
2 towels
Towelling bibs
1 brush/comb for baby
(the hospital says it the provides nappies and baby toiletries but I'll take some nappies just in case! And I'll take knitting and a book and camera!! But as I say we get 3 days
)
