all in changing bag on top of car seat, which in our hospital should be taken to the ward, they escort you to your vehicle to ensure your using the car seat!

i will prob add stuff, but things like nappy cream is not advised and they will give you bounty bag which has small pot in, there will be baby shampoo etc in the pack, but they brought round johnsons stuff with the baby bath anyway so i dont take any with me.

 

[mummymadness]

Dont worry Pinkmac hun , Im sure you will pack exactly what you need .
I forgot to mention Slippers on my list too lol .

Its just got more over the years of having kids i suppose each time i realise theres something i have missed lol .x xxxxx .

[mummymadness]

Lol Lol Lol ....

It looks like iam taying for the week lol . xxx .

 

[Shifter]

Don't you collect your Bounty pack at Boots (or Asda if so inclined)? That's what the leaflet in my booking in pack said and we've had something in the post saying the same... confused.

 

[mummymadness]

Holly hun , You get lots of different Packs through pregnancy , To collect from asdas etc .
But the birth one is actually at the hospital , Its under babies cot (Well in my hospital) , And allso a bounty woman comes around so if not under the cot they may have them for you .
They really are great . xxxx .

 

[Shifter]

I have heard they are basically just big packs of advertising but hey, it depends how resistant you are to such things! I know that no amount of free samples will get me buying anything I object to! I'll happily take the freebies though

 

[DonnaBallona]

Hope you dont mind mummymadness but Iv nicked your list for my hospital bag!! Sorry-you just seemed to know what you were talking about!!

Im going to be hypochondriac mummy-to-be though, clearly-
Iv also bought a packet of milton anti-bacterial wipes and a small bottle of anti-bac handwash for the hospital in case its not up to my cleanliness standards!!
