Diapers, wipes and other baby basics
Many prenatal providers will give you with more than enough information about what delivery day and your stay at the hospital will look like. Diapers, formula (if needed) and pacifiers (if needed) are typically a given, but if you’re not sure, check with your hospital so you can save yourself a ton of money and time in Target. Toiletries are typically provided as well, so unless you have to have Crest and Dove soap in your morning routine, don’t stress if these things get forgotten last minute. Also, keep in mind that you’ll be in the hospital for no longer than 3 days or so given you have a routine, healthy delivery so you’ll be home in no time if your accommodations pale in comparison to the Waldorf-Astoria.
