With a packing list, nothing important is certainly forgotten

In order not to forget anything, it is advisable to create a packing list and a small checklist for the baby. This helps to keep an overview.

Papers and documents

Even with such an impressive event, such as birth, it is not without documents. Your health insurance card should not be missing in addition to the mother pass. In addition, it is important to prove the identity of mother and father. This can be done using the marriage certificate or the birth certificates of the parents.

Keep the documents for the hospital in a pocket that you will take alongside the actual hospital bag.

Tip: It is advantageous to carry a paper on which the name of the newborn stands. Especially when it comes to less common names, they prevent misunderstandings.

In addition, a list of the most important telephone numbers of contact persons, such as the partner, is important if everything suddenly goes very quickly and you have to go to the hospital completely unprepared.

For birth

Most women arrive in the hospital with light contractions. This means that the delivery is still a little long in coming.

As a rule, women get appropriate clothing from the hospital. It makes little sense to buy something new for the actual delivery. If you want to wear your own things, definitely use an older T-shirt or nightgown. Because a birth literally does not pass them without a trace.

Make the right choice of clothing

It is important that the shirt is comfortable and you feel comfortable in it. Also think of a bathrobe. In the event of a shower or toilet are not available in the district hall and you have to go over the hallway. Slippers are also attached. Warm socks in winter are an absolute must! The rooms are very heated, but cold feet could inhibit the contractions.

For the first few days as a mom

The bliss is indescribable and the first few hours as freshly baked parents are remembered forever. You need very comfortable clothing for the first few days. Avoid lingerie and noble laundry. Cotton briefs with a wide covenant are ideal. Because the weekly flow lasts for a few days.

For women who get a caesarean section, briefs with a wide and soft covenant are extremely important so that wound healing is not disturbed. Even if no caesarean section is planned, some briefs belong in your pocket. You can never know.

Comfortable clothing is more practical for the first few days after birth than fashionable outfits

Think of the still bra! With their previous bras, they will not get far. Most of the time, women now need one or two baskets size. Wide shirts and jogging pants are also perfect.

Hygiene article

As a rule, the hospital provides deposits against the weekly flow. However, if you prefer to use your own, take a sufficient look in the clinic bag. You cannot use tampons after birth.

In addition, breastfeeding deposits are necessary. As soon as the milk inlet comes, a few drops of breast milk will come into the bra every now and then and the insoles in the bra are important immediately after breastfeeding.

Things for daily needs such as toothbrush, toothpaste, shower bath, hairbrush, deodorant and perfume are also important.

Everything for the newborn - a checklist for the baby

The new earthly citizen will be equipped by the hospital during the first few days. So you don't have to worry too much about it. However, you need your own Babyer rooms for your way home. You can already put them in the clinic bag or your partner brings you on the day of the journey home. Pay attention to the season when it comes to suitable baby clothes.

The Babyerstaufäftage includes at least:

• body
• Romper
• Hat
• Jacket
• Finkli
• Nuggi
• Nuggikette

 

Important: If you go home with the baby, a stroller is necessary or the baby seat for the car! Your partner should definitely think about that.

Entertainment - MP3, books and Co

You will have to recover after birth and certainly not think so much about entertainment. Your baby will also be taken to examine it every now and then and you have a few minutes for yourself.

When it comes to packing the clinic bag, think of such moments. You can carry your favorite music with you via MP3, as well as a book or a few magazines. Don't forget the necessary charging cables if you use an eBook reader or the MP3 player. The same applies to the smartphone. Many mothers are happy to share the friends and known news about social networks.

Tip: There are definitely hospital rooms that offer family rooms. Then your partner has the wonderful opportunity to spend the first few days together with you and the newborn. His clinic bag should therefore also be packed in time.
