Good morning! Today on the blog of Nait Nait , your baby store , we help you prepare a bag for the time before giving birth.
We want to give you some ideas and suggestions so that you have the hospital bag ready when the day arrives and you don't have to worry about preparing everything at the last minute.
When to start
The best thing is to organize everything at least three weeks before of the expected due date, in case the baby arrives early. This way you can prepare everything without worrying about anything.
We recommend separate things for babies and mothers in two separate bags so you can easily find everything. Also, if you want to keep things even more organized, you can store your belongings in different small bags inside your suitcase. For that, we recommend our pacifier holder prints , Laundry bags , perfect for dirty clothes , bags and toiletry bags .
Hospital bag for mom
- Documentation : National Identity Document (DNI), social security or private insurance card, and folder with all pregnancy documents
- Toiletry bag : toothbrush and toothpaste, hairbrush, moisturizer, lip balm, deodorant, cologne or perfume, some makeup if you usually use it, hair dryer and if you use contact lenses: contact lenses, contact lens solution and glasses.
- 2-3 nightgowns with a front opening to make breastfeeding easier if you want to do so
- Slippers for moving comfortably around the hospital room
- A hospital gown, so you don't get cold in the hospital and feel more comfortable when visitors arrive.
- Wear disposable or high-waisted cotton panties so that if you have a cesarean section, the seam doesn't exactly line up with the scar.
- 2-3 bras (nursing bras if you're going to breastfeed)
- 2 pairs of socks
- Postpartum pads
- Comfortable clothes to wear when leaving the hospital
Hospital bag for baby
The clothes you need will depend on the time of year the baby is born. They should be easy to put on and not make diaper changes difficult. It's also advisable to pack some slightly larger clothes, in case the newborn clothes don't fit.

- 3-4 Bodies

- 4 small muslin cloths in case the baby spits up; you need to clean up the drool…
- 2 large muslin cloths / baby blankets

- Toiletry bag : natural sponge, soap, organic wipes, cotton towel, moisturizing cream, diaper rash cream, soft-hair brush, gauze
