What you need to buy in the hospital list. What to take with you to the hospital? A complete and detailed list of things in the hospital

Hello!

Today is a post about collecting bags for the hospital. I made the decision to collect the bag by 30 weeks and let it stand. Doesn't take up much space, but it's somehow calmer with her

For the prenatal and postnatal package, I decided not to share things, I collect everything at once. Perhaps this will not be possible in your maternity hospital, it is better to clarify this point. In total, I will have 2 bags - one for the hospital, the second for discharge.

An unrealistic number of articles and posts on this topic were re-read, I consulted with “experienced” girlfriends, and as a result, such a list was “born”. Suddenly it will come in handy and can facilitate fees

BAG WITH YOU TO THE Maternity Hospital

1. Let's start with the BAG itself. Naturally, no rag / leather, etc. (hygiene, everything). Either a plastic bag or a thick PVC transparent bag with a zipper. My choice fell on the second option.

2. DOCUMENTS: The most important thing in your bag!

Passport (+copy)

Policy (+copy)

Exchange card

Birth certificate (+copy)

The results of ultrasound, examinations (will not be superfluous)

Ideally, we carry this kit with us at all times, in case the birth takes you away from home.

3. Phone + charger.

4. CLOTHING FOR YOURSELF:

Rubber slippers

Socks 2 pairs (in fights, most of the feet get cold)

Compression stockings (to prevent swelling and swelling of the veins, put on immediately upon admission and do not remove until discharge)

Nursing bra / tank top 1-2 pcs.

Cotton robe (+ shirt, but in my maternity hospital, for example, they don’t allow me to put on my own and give out a government one)

5. HYGIENE:

Shorts disposable 2-3 pcs. (mesh, praised the company Peligrin, took them)

Urological/postpartum pads 1 pack

Plain panty liners 1 pack (the softest ones and a few drops just in case)

Disposable diapers 2-3 pcs. (universal thing, useful for inspections)

Breast pads 2-3 pairs (probably won't come in handy at all, but I took a couple)

A large towel for the body and a small one for the hands / face (preferably dark shades)

Toothbrush + paste

Toilet paper plain + wet

Comb + elastic

Liquid soap (you can take baby soap right away, it will go to both mom and baby so as not to drag 2)

Shampoo (in a small bottle)

Hygienic lipstick (often dries lips during childbirth)

Moisturizing cream

Disposable razor

Wet wipes for children big pack (immediately for both mom and baby)

6. MISCELLANEOUS:

Water without gas 2 bottles of 0.5 liters.

A pack of sushki or something similar to chew

Bepanten cream (for a baby under a diaper and for your breasts)

Breast pump

Glycerin suppositories (a couple, in case of problems with the stool)

Mug + spoon (I take plastic to make it easier)

Packs of 2 pcs. ordinary (put your things in which you entered the maternity hospital)

Garbage bags (small, not every room has normal trash cans, as it turned out)

7. CLOTHES FOR BABY:

It is better to put it in a separate zip bag so that everything does not mix with your things. In different maternity hospitals, there are different rules: somewhere the baby is allowed to be immediately dressed in diapers and overalls, and somewhere they are only swaddled and nothing more. Check it out in advance. My list based on the rules of the hospital:

Cap/hat 2 pcs. (one will be immediately put on the baby after birth so that he does not freeze, the second one will be replaced)

Socks 2 pcs. (same story as with the hat)

Anti-scratches 2 pcs.

Thin undershirts 2-3 pcs. (as a rule, maternity hospital diapers are oak and almost intact, so it will come in handy)

Pampers 10 pcs. (just in case, suddenly they will be allowed to wear it at the end, if they allow it right away, I will ask my husband to bring it)

Overalls with closed handles (also more likely just in case)

EXTRACT BAG

Have it ready by 38 weeks and ideally labeled or signed in some way so your family knows what to bring.

Prepare a car seat for transportation or a stroller, if suddenly you are 5 minutes from home)

1. FOR THE BABY

Pampers 2 pcs.

A set of clothes for discharge (for example: a bonnet, a bodysuit with closed handles, sliders)

Swaddling envelope / blanket / blanket (depending on the weather, we have an extract from May-June, so we take a thin blanket-envelope)

P.S. Do not take multiple sets of clothes. The baby will be dressed by nurses, they may not understand and put on the baby everything they find in the bag.

2. FOR MOM

Linen (take into account the fact that the baby may need to be fed on the road)

Dress or something loose (the tummy, unfortunately, will not disappear instantly)

Comfortable shoes under the dress

Cosmetic bag (without fanaticism)

Here is the list. Share your experience in the comments, in any case, I forgot about something extremely important

In any case, if something is missed, you can always ask your loved ones to bring what you need.

All spring and good mood!

Instruction for the beginner, cheat sheet for the seasoned

Collecting bags in for many becomes a real challenge. What to take? What not to take? Will I be able to collect everything? What if I forget something? Our material will help make the fees easier and more enjoyable: just follow the instructions.

When to start collecting?

Many future mothers begin to pack their "alarm suitcase" almost after they saw the coveted plus sign on the test. And others, on the contrary, put off these exciting chores until the last moment. Let's agree: there is nothing wrong with these camps, on the contrary, these are very pleasant worries that help to tune in to childbirth and meeting with the unborn baby. Even if you forget something, nothing terrible will happen, all vital things are available in the maternity hospital by default, and your relatives can bring everything you need for your personal comfort.

Important! good time to start fees to the maternity hospital, provided that you are not shown prenatal hospitalization - 35-36 weeks of pregnancy.

How to pack?

It is most convenient to divide all things into three groups:

(It will be brought to you later by relatives).

Accordingly, you will need to collect not one, but three “disturbing suitcases” at once. But you will be sure that everything is in place and you do not have to carry a heavy bag.

Important! All items must be packed in plastic bags! In most maternity hospitals, cloth or leather bags for hygienic reasons. Tip: take three bags of different colors or make noticeable labels so as not to be confused.

Symbums tell

On the eve of the birth, I packed things in identical bags from the supermarket and folded them in the hallway. So not only did my husband almost take out my “alarm suitcase” along with the garbage, but in the end we mixed up the packages and arrived at the maternity hospital with contractions armed with an embroidered blanket and a dress for discharge. Fortunately, we live nearby, my husband quickly went and exchanged them while I was making out.

Readiness No. 1: a package for childbirth

This package is the most important, because it is these things that you will take with you to the birth, where no one from your relatives with a safety package will be allowed to enter.

So, in this package we will put:

Documents: passport, compulsory medical insurance policy, birth certificate, exchange card. If the husband will be present at the birth, then a package of documents is also needed for him: his passport, marriage certificate, fluorography results (it is better to check the list at the maternity hospital);
Rubber slippers- it is convenient to take a shower in them and they are easy to wash - this quality is useful in the postpartum department;
Disposable diapers- it is better to take a large package (15-20 pieces) - they will come in handy during the discharge of water and secretions during childbirth and in the postpartum.
Water without gas- During childbirth, sometimes you really want to drink.
thick socks- it can be chilly in the delivery room.
Toilet paper or wet wipes;
Bathrobe and oversized T-shirt(True, in most maternity hospitals, their own clothes are prohibited - they give out sterile “overalls” of cheerful colors).
Hygienic lipstick.
Additional package in order to put the clothes in which you will arrive at the hospital
Mobile phone and charger for it.

Symbums tell

I never thought that chapped lips could bring me such discomfort during childbirth. In maternity hospitals, the air is always very dry due to the constant quartzing, and the intense "breathing" of contractions dries the lips even more. Next time I will definitely bring a lip balm with me.

First days in comfort: "postpartum" package (Second package)

Here you need to put things that mom and baby will need. Only the essentials! Why do you need to drag a heavy package to the hospital? On the first day after childbirth, if you see that you are missing a table lamp or your favorite silver spoon, your loved ones will be happy to bring you everything you need.

Things for mom:

Hygiene items: toothpaste and brush, soap, shampoo, moisturizer, comb, hair clip);
Disposable postpartum panties 5 pcs;
Special postpartum pads or regular softest super absorbent 2 packs;
Postpartum slimming bandage if you plan to wear it
Healing cream or ointment for nipples;
personal utensils: mug, spoon, you can take a small thermos;
Bra for feeding and inserts for him.

Symbums tell

In the postpartum period, I recalled with such gratitude my husband, who “smuggled” stuffed a small thermos into my bag! Milk arrived badly, I always wanted a warm drink. A thermos with tea helped out a lot, especially at night.

Baby items:

baby soap(more convenient liquid with a dispenser) and wet napkins for wiping the priests (both are useful);
Children's cream and powder;
Diapers for newborns (the package should be marked 2-5 kg or "Newborn");
Clothes and diapers: in maternity hospitals they usually give out sterile clean diapers, but you can bring your own if you wish. You can also grab a couple of sets of seasonal clothes: undershirts, sliders or pajamas, a pair of socks, a hat.

We are going home: package for discharge (Third package)

You will not take this package to the hospital- it will be delivered to you before discharge by relatives. And this is an important reason to treat his collection with all responsibility - it would be a shame to be left on the eve of discharge without cosmetics or a ribbon for the baby's envelope.

Baby items:

Pajamas or vest with sliders, hat, socks;
Or diaper: thin and flannel, if you are going to swaddle the baby;
A smart bedspread, blanket or warm envelope- depending on the season.

Things for mom:

Smart and comfortable clothes(best of all - a spacious dress, in jeans you will most likely be uncomfortable), outerwear and shoes;
Cosmetics: To feel more confident and enjoy posing for the first photo with your baby.

Girls, be sure to collect the package for discharge! And then my friend didn’t “get confused” and her husband forgot to bring her ... boots. I had to check out in my grandfather's boots of size 42.

Then you won't lose it!

Pregnancy is the most exciting and happiest period in the life of every girl. At this time, we are preparing for a new stage that will change our understanding of the world. However, in order not to add unnecessary problems and hassle to yourself, prepare for childbirth in advance. In addition to routine examinations, changes in the diet and daily routine, it is necessary to assemble an “alarming suitcase” in advance (as young mothers call the minimum set of items for themselves and the baby in the maternity hospital). Even if there are no fears and complications, it is desirable that everything be ready already at the 7th month. After all, running and collecting things with attempts is not the easiest thing to do. What should be taken for childbirth? In this article, we will tell you about all the nuances of staying in a maternity hospital, give useful and harmful advice, and also write out the most detailed list of necessary things in a maternity hospital for mom and baby.

Things for mom in the hospital

Documents are the first thing to take care of when collecting a bag for the hospital. They may differ slightly depending on where you give birth and in which country you live. If you have agreed on a pair birth, do not forget to get the test results for your husband in advance.

List of documents

Completed exchange card.
Your passport.
Medical insurance.
Generic certificate.
Direction to the maternity hospital (if any).
insurance certificate pension fund(if there is no birth certificate).
Contractual childbirth (in case of paid).
The results of unscheduled analyzes and examinations.
Husband's passport (for paired births).
Husband analyzes for pair births.
Doctor's contact phone number (in case of contractual childbirth).
Money for different needs.

Separately, I would like to talk about money. They will be needed for everything: buy water, vitamins, a different size of diaper, a different mixture for the baby, pads, medicines, send a nurse to a store or pharmacy, thank the doctor, and so on. You must understand that, unfortunately, this is a necessity and a given. And since you can’t do without spending at all, then stock up on cash of different denominations (for all occasions, take more small ones).

Medications

Oddly enough, but sometimes doctors ask to bring medicines and medical supplies. This list may include:

Syringes 5.0 and 10.0;
Surgical gloves (disposable, sterile);
Sterile cotton;
Adhesive plasters;
Gauze bandages and sterile medical gauze;
Bandages;
Medical disposable delivery kit;
A bag of disposable shoe covers;
Sterile caps;
Medical gown (disposable, sterile);
Diapers, disposable;
urine catheter;
System for blood transfusion;
Umbilical Clem;
A bottle of medical alcohol;
Iodine 5%;
Saline solution (NaCI 0.9%);
Hypotonic saline cleansing enema, etc.

In recent years, it is rare that you need to carry your own medicines. Most likely you will be asked for cash "for the missing funds" or you will not have to spend anything at all. You may also need money to buy medicines after childbirth, because depending on how you feel, you may be prescribed various vaginal and rectal suppositories, pills or drops to increase hemoglobin, tinctures to increase milk production, etc. You can't predict this in advance.

Hygiene products

To feel comfortable, be sure to stock up on all the necessary personal hygiene products. These include:

Toothbrush.
Breast pads.
Antibacterial soap.
Soft toilet paper (wet).
Towels for face and hands.
Razor (for prenatal department).
Shampoo.
Nipple cream (special or neutral, for children).
Shaving foam or gel (if you lie down in advance).
Toothpaste.
Soft, dry and wet wipes.
Sanitary, normal and night (for heavy discharge) pads.
Shower gel or liquid soap.
Hairbrush.
A few soft hair bands.
A bath towel.
Bags for trash and dirty linen.
Diapers for gynecological examinations.
Bed linen (2 sets).
A little makeup (to look normal in the photo during discharge).

These are the basic hygiene products you will need. But, it is also necessary to take into account personal characteristics. For example, if you have very dry skin on your hands, do not neglect the cream, take it with you (it is desirable that it be neutral, for children).

Mom's clothes

Clothes for a young mother may differ slightly depending on the time of year. For example, in summer you will probably need woolen socks, and in winter you will not need cotton nightgowns.

For winter time:

Long, soft dressing gown (terry, insulated).
Loose t-shirts made of natural fabric.
Warm sports suit with soft elastic band.
Warm cotton socks.
Terry or wool socks.
Spare bras (including for feeding).
Lots of cotton panties with a loose elastic band.
Rubber slippers (for my husband).
Blanket or warm blanket.
Anti-varicose stockings (if necessary).
Bandage postpartum or postoperative (after cesarean).

For the summer period:

Dressing gown (light, made of natural material).
Elongated T-shirts with large sleeves (cotton).
Sundress from natural fabric.
Loose cotton dress.
Nightgowns of thin material (should breathe).
Bandage.
Thin cotton socks.
Sports pants with soft elastic band.
Several bras (including for feeding).
Lots of interchangeable panties.
Anti-varicose stockings (if necessary).

For the off-season:

Comfortable, sports suit with a soft elastic band.
Long, loose robe made of dense fabric.
Loose-fit nightgowns in floor-length thick material.
Nursing bra.
Replacement sets of underwear.
A few thick, cotton socks.
Rubber slippers (for myself and my husband).
Loose T-shirts.
Anti-varicose stockings (by appointment).
Bandage postoperative (caesarean) or postpartum.

Separately, I want to say slippers. Why rubber? It is hygienic, they can be washed (and you can also go into the shower). Just be careful not to slip.

Various small things

Today, it is impossible to do without a lot of items: a mobile phone, ready-made hygiene products and personal belongings. What else is important, you need to take a pregnant woman with you to the hospital? Let's try not to forget anything:

Breast pump (a very useful thing, get it if possible).
Mobile phone (top up your account in advance).
Chargers for all gadgets.
An electronic or paper book (with a positive scenario).
Crockery (plates, spoons, forks, mugs, glasses, etc.).
Water without gas (several bottles of different sizes).
Wet wipes for different purposes.
Baby cream (universal, for all skin areas).
Allowed food (due to fatigue or lack of sleep, you can skip breakfast, lunch and dinner).
Warm blanket, plaid or blanket (for the cold season).
1.5 bedding sets.
A large but light sports bag, 1 or 2 pieces (this is the same suitcase where we will put everything).

The list of little things can include any things without which you cannot imagine your life. Think in advance what you will miss a lot.

Things for the baby in the hospital

For the baby, you also need to prepare an impressive package of things. Let's see which ones are required.

Newborn hygiene products

Hypoallergenic powder.
Wet baby wipes (without alcohol and fragrances).
Flannelette and calico diapers (4-5 pcs or disposable).
Pampers in size (1 pack).
Baby soap (not only for the child, but also for things).
Cream nappy diaper rash.
Dummy (if you'll teach).

Baby clothes

For winter time:

Baby vest.
Steamy bodysuits.
Biker hats.
Loose pants, 2 pcs.
Cotton socks.
Terry socks.
Overalls, thick fabric 2 pcs.
Wrap-up diapers, flannelette.
Hypoallergenic blanket or blanket.
Terry hat and overalls for discharge.
Warm, winter envelope for an extract.

For the summer period:

Calico vest.
Parubodikov and pants made of thin, natural material.
Caps, 2 pcs.
Scratches.
Thin, cotton socks, 2 pcs.
Overalls (made of natural, breathable fabric).
Cotton diapers for wrapping.
Summer envelope for extract (not hot).

For the off-season:

Calico and flannelette undershirts.
Loose pants, 2-3 pcs.
Bodysuits from natural materials 2-3 pcs.
Scratches (so that the baby does not hurt himself).
Flannelette hats.
Terry socks and a cap for discharge.
Flannelette and print diapers for wrapping.
Cotton socks, 2 pcs.
Warm envelope for an extract.

Necessary little things

Plaid blanket in a duvet cover.
Cream powder (baby's skin may be sensitive to diapers).
Pacifier (if you will teach).
Car seat (at discharge from the hospital).
Soft towel.
(to avoid stress in the baby).

Do not be afraid to defend your rights in the hospital, ask questions or just ask for something. In such cases, silence can only hurt you.
Diapers can cause allergies in your baby, so first get a few from different manufacturers for a test.
Do not be nervous, you are in a specialized institution and you are surrounded by professionals. Excessive excitement can complicate the process of childbirth.
Ask your husband or relatives to prepare a room for the baby for discharge. You won't have the time or energy to do it yourself. Tell them to get bed linen with protective bumpers and. In addition, you will need a pencil case, a bath tub, and hanging toys for the bassinet.
If you have a car, be sure to get an infant car seat. If not, make sure that it is present in the taxi for discharge.
Another a good option for the rest of the crumbs and its rapid adaptation to the environment -. It is especially recommended for premature babies, as well as for intermittent, restless sleep.
Do not hesitate to call for help from relatives and friends after discharge. A little help, in the form of an hour on duty, cradling a baby or cooking, will give you the opportunity to sleep and rest. And your psycho-emotional state is directly reflected in the crumbs.

Swear, insult and humiliate the medical staff. They will be afraid of you, but they will not tell you anything and will not help if necessary. After all, you yourself know and are able to do everything.
Buy large jars of baby oils, powders and creams right away. It's okay if the child has an allergy - you yourself will use it.
Bring a lot of food with you, especially all kinds of harmful things (chocolate bars, coffee, sausage, mayonnaise, etc.) - your child has digestive problems and sleepless nights.
A large pack of diapers is much more economical than a small one, but is there a discount for a promotion of 5 pieces? Take it without hesitation. And nothing that the baby can grow out of 1 size very quickly or become covered with terrible dermatitis from the wrong brand of product.
20 vests, 40 rompers, 30 jumpsuits and bodysuits - that's not much for the first month, is it? Of course not, the main thing is not to go broke.
When deciding any serious issues, rely only on your own opinion. Learning from someone else's experience and mistakes is not our way.
Avoid meeting with friends and relatives, they can catch the virus, and this is deadly for your family. Communicate with them only by phone. Tell them at 7 am about the color of the baby's poop, how you felt an hour ago and what time you woke up. Share your fears and complain about life. All this is very interesting.

What to take with you to the hospital? Packing a bag for the hospital! What to take with you to the hospital? How to properly pack a bag for mom and baby and not forget anything?

Mom bag and baby bag

It is worth preparing in advance for the emergence of a new life. After all, as you know, future mother the process of childbirth can catch at an unexpected time and in an unexpected place. Things for mom and baby that may come in handy in the hospital should be collected 2-3 weeks before the immediate predicted date. Otherwise, you will need to ask relatives to do this, who, of course, can confuse and not find, in general, it is better to do everything for the expectant mother herself.

Things that you need to take with you to the hospital can be conditionally divided into those that are needed by the mother, and those that are necessary for the baby.

List of fees for the maternity hospital, (approved by a neonatologist):

Insurance policy

Exchange card with results necessary analyzes

birth certificate

1. Shales;
2. 2 robes:

you wear one in the ward and it is better that it be lighter,

the other to the corridor, the toilet, to meet with relatives and it is better that it be warmer, because. can ventilate corridors

3. Hygiene accessories:

toothpaste

Toothbrush

hairbrush

2 children's soaps in soap dishes (one for hands, another for a child)

4. Crockery: cup, spoon, mug
5. Pampers for the little ones (do not be afraid of infertility - this is a myth! because spermatogenesis begins in adolescence, and before that you can wear diapers, go to the bath, etc. Moreover, overheating affects the spermatozoa that mature specifically in those 72 days in which a person is going to have children. And modern diapers remove heat and moisture from the body better than a wet poop diaper. If you really want to ventilate the baby's skin and avoid diaper rash, you just need to unbutton it, open the diaper a little on the sides) By the way, according to the reviews of familiar mothers, the best diapers are Pampers companies. A child in the first month of life does his business 20 times a day - count on it
6. disposable women's swimming trunks (about 6 pieces, they are sold in pharmacies, I once saw them in RichToys);
7. super absorbent pads (no more than 1 pack, because at first they use sterile cotton diapers, which are given out in the maternity hospital);
8. 2 nursing bras (not underwired), choose a size larger than prenatal, because breasts will increase due to milk;
9. disposable absorbent pads for a bra, it is better to be more expensive and better at the rate of 2 pieces for every 3 hours;
10. postpartum bandage, helps muscle contraction, the early termination of secretions and prevents stretch marks;
11. cream for stretch marks (if you plan to use it);
12. rectal suppositories with glycerin (they will help to go to the toilet on the first day after childbirth, you can still use candles for hemorrhoids, because such a problem may arise after childbirth);
13. The drug for increasing lactation "Mlekoin". You can buy later if needed. This homeopathic remedy should not be combined with herbal teas that improve lactation, because the opposite effect is obtained; A normal volume of milk is produced with frequent attachment to the breast, the psychological comfort of the mother and favorable psychological contact with the child). There is a lot of milk for 2-3 days and it is necessary to ensure that it does not accumulate in the chest for a long time, if the child does not consume so much, then it is necessary to express it in order to avoid mastitis - temperature, pain, antibiotics, surgeons, etc. No need to use perfumes, deodorants, because. the natural smell of mother and milk intuitively helps the baby get used to and establish contact when feeding.

14. Breast pump (can be manual, it is cheaper and does not depend on the presence of an outlet. The best company is Philips Aventa). Required already in the hospital;
15. Protective pads for breastfeeding (in case of cracks). You can not buy right away, but find where they are sold and buy on demand;
16. Wet sanitary napkins, disposable handkerchiefs;
17. A wound healing agent, for example, Bepanten cream is suitable for diaper rash and irritations, injuries of the mother’s chest (the baby does not immediately know how to eat right, so you need to put the baby to the chest, touch the cheeks with your finger and when he opens his mouth, apply it so that he grabs it with his mouth not only the tip, but the entire areola;
18. Hygienic lipstick (in case of dry lips, you can actually anoint the same Bepanten);
19. Mobile phone with charger; The phone and charger have been used for years and are the dirtiest items in our everyday life, like money, so you need to get used to periodically wiping the phone with at least something, in the maternity hospital not to put the phone on the child, next to the child, in the crib, etc. Also wash your hands after talking on the phone.

20. Pen and notepad to record labor pressure, contraction intervals, doctor's name, advice and prescriptions

21. Towels (for shower, face, hands, intimate hygiene and small for crumbs);

22. Toilet paper - white, soft in a clean plastic bag. After childbirth, it is better to use soft wet wipes for intimate hygiene;

23. A set of clothes for the baby to be discharged (diaper, sliders, blouse, cotton hat, socks) and an “envelope” with a wide blue ribbon for bandaging the envelope (If there is no ribbon, then they will bandage it with a bandage and then it will be bandaged in the photo :) Before the extract will be handed over by relatives.

24. Hats and socks, blouses and sliders can be worn on a child during the days of stay in the hospital, because it can be cold or drafty, only new, clean ones are needed every day (by the way, all things that are purchased or sewn for a child need to be washed and ironed.

25. Money. I'm not sure what you need, but just in case, at least a little
26. Clothes for mom to be discharged (comfortable, clean, prepared in advance). Relatives will hand over before discharge. The clothes are 2 sizes larger than what was before pregnancy or something from what was worn at the beginning of pregnancy. Because after giving birth, it is impossible to return to 44 in 3 days.
26. Socks for mom are thin - in cases of examination by a doctor and warm terry - in childbirth and after there is chills

27. Drinking water (a bottle of 0.5-1 l no more !!) In the maternity hospital, you can already fill it
28. New razor.

29. Disposable toilet pads (sold in pharmacies)

30. Hair bands. Headbands, invisible hair - be sure to clean up the hair. Wear a headscarf while feeding.

31. Anti-scratches. Toddlers randomly move their legs and arms, touching their faces and being very frightened - mittens or undershirts with tightly sewn sleeves are required.

32. Car cradle for the baby to be discharged.

If you have to buy pacifiers, nipples for bottles, then it is better to choose orthodontic and definitely! made of hard material (not like Soviet, soft, yellow) and still necessarily - with a small hole. All this is necessary so that the child gets used to working with muscles during feeding and the sucking reflex is formed correctly, and orthodontic recesses are necessary for the correct laying of the tongue and the formation of the correct bite. If it will be easy for the baby to get food for himself through a large hole in the nipple, he will simply refuse breastfeeding, in which it is impossible without muscle work.

The list turned out to be chaotic (deviations from the list recommended in a particular maternity hospital are possible)

Try to sort things into groups: necessary for childbirth, after childbirth, for discharge.

After the birth begins and before leaving for the hospital, you should not eat food, because. Nausea may occur during childbirth. Water, acidified with drops of lemon, can help. Prepare ahead of time and refrigerate.

Relatives should be prepared to pick up dirty laundry regularly.

Relatives at the first visit can transfer at the request of the mother:
1. drinking water (if there is no desire to drink boiled water in the hospital);
2. tea (if you want), but you can’t add sugar to it (it gets into milk and causes gas in a child), it’s better to replace it with fructose from a pharmacy. The same applies to all sweet foods - condensed milk, juices, sweet yogurts.
3. Yeast-free bread or biscuit-type cookies - without yeast and sugar;
4. Milk. Dairy products (kefir, snowball, etc.) can cause diarrhea in a child. Concentrated foods (condensed milk, juice, mayonnaise, etc.) cause allergies, as do red, orange foods and other allergens (read more below about the nutrition of a nursing mother)

5. Boiled meat;
6. Vegetables, but only cooked (for example, stewed).

Relatives should be ready to feed the mother upon returning from the hospital not with salads, fatty chicken and cake, but with foods allowed for a nursing mother (read below) and it is advisable not to tempt with a forbidden feast, so as not to increase the impact of postpartum depression on mood in the family.

Bag for mom (what we take with us to the hospital)

The most important thing that you need not to forget, and even more than that, always have documents with you on the 9th month:

Insurance policy;
exchange card with the results of the necessary tests;
passport;
direction;
phone to be always in touch with relatives.

If childbirth is paid, be sure to take the contract.

For the period of childbirth you will need:

Watch with a stopwatch to measure the duration of contractions and their frequency;
drinking (mineral water without gas or herbal tea for childbirth);
wet wipes;
slippers (washable).

Useful after childbirth:

Sanitary pads of high absorbency;
Bathrobe, home suit, nightgown, pajamas;
two nursing bras (preferably with a fastener in front);
underpants;
socks (warm, but not woolen);
handkerchiefs;
toiletries

You can take some entertainment with you, for example, a player, crossword puzzles, knitting. In addition, there will certainly be a desire to make notes about the first days of the baby’s life, your impressions, therefore, a notebook, a notebook with a pen will also not be superfluous.

Baby bag

Bag in the maternity hospital for the baby: diapers (you need to take in a small amount, because you should check how the child will react to them);

2-3 sweatshirts, vests, bodysuits (all cotton);

2-3 blouses with long sleeves;

2-3 pairs of sliders;

Socks, booties;

Anti-scratch socks and mittens;

A pair of thin and warm (flannel) bonnets;

Clothes for discharge just have to match the season.

All baby clothes should be pre-washed and ironed very carefully to avoid allergic reactions and irritation.

There are issues that cause controversy, they relate to the need for a pacifier in the hospital and the need to supplement and bottle feed the baby.

Of course, just in case, you can take a dummy, after making sure that it is intended specifically for babies from birth to three months. But some argue that using a pacifier on such early term may contribute to the fact that the child, getting used to it, will not take the breast well during feeding.

In many maternity hospitals, new mothers are strongly advised to additionally feed their baby from a bottle. This moment should be taken as seriously and responsibly as possible. Firstly, if the baby is fed additional mixtures and supplemented with boiled water or glucose solution, there is a risk of developing dysbacteriosis, indigestion and simply introducing an infection into a fragile organism. Secondly, as with a pacifier, sucking on a bottle contributes to the formation of an incorrect sucking habit. After all, only the muscles of the cheeks are involved with the nipple, and when sucking the breast, it is necessary to work with the muscles of the tongue.

If the rules of the hospital allow you to bring food with you, you can ask to bring:

Mineral water without gas;
fruits (green apples, bananas);
dried fruits (prunes, raisins, but in no case dried apricots);
boiled meat (nursing mothers should not eat eggs and poultry meat)
Black tea.

When the long-awaited moment of discharge comes, in the hustle and bustle it is important not to forget important things:

Pick up an exchange card;

Pick up a sheet describing the state of health of the child (specify what procedures were done, vaccinations, with the introduction of which drugs);

Notify the children's clinic about the birth of a child and invite a patronage nurse.

coming soon little kid. Although most parents know the gender of the child, a number of questions haunt them. At what point will the birth begin, what to take with you, how it will be, what kind of child it will be, who it looks like, how to name the new little man ... Let's deal with one of them: what to put in the bag for the maternity hospital. Let's agree right away - we take the minimum, the most necessary, otherwise all the bags will not fit into the car.

We will start packing the bag to the hospital in advance. You need to buy and cook a lot, visit different stores, order something via the Internet, wash, dry, iron ...

It’s worth checking in advance at the maternity hospital where you are going to give birth, their requirements for things and bags - everywhere there are their own rules. Immediately put these recommendations on the list - the memory of a pregnant woman is an extremely unreliable phenomenon.

The preliminary date of birth is a very approximate number, plus or minus 2 weeks is the absolute norm, which means that by the 38th week everything should be ready.

By the end of the term, many mothers become inactive, slow, get tired quickly. Around 30 weeks is the time to pack your bags.

It is convenient to pack things in separate blocks and sign them, especially in the delivery room:

for Mom
for baby
for Dad
change into the room

The most important

A list of things that you can’t do without and, even, problems may arise when registering for a maternity hospital:

Money
Passport
Exchange card
Documents (insurance, contract…)
Mobile phone + charger
Camera + charger

It was convenient for me to store documents in a transparent folder.

Without an exchange card, doctors will not know your characteristics, how the pregnancy proceeded, concomitant diseases. In addition, without it, everyone is taken, as a rule, to one maternity hospital, there will be women in labor with HIV infection, Hepatitis B and other atypical circumstances.

Conclusion

I want to say a few words about the extract. Carefully check the documents that will be given to you at the hospital. The spelling of the Surname, Name, Patronymic, height, weight of the child, features of the course of childbirth and other “little things”.

Check with the staff how the discharge procedure is carried out in this maternity hospital.

Decide if everything suits you and if you want to participate in it.

About clothes for mom: knitted dresses look very good on young mothers. They are beautiful and there is less risk of missing the size (there will be no big belly, there will be a small leather “apron”).

Can be taken immediately special clothing for pregnant and lactating mothers is a worthwhile investment in the comfort of mother and child.

Here is such a list. Download, print, add your items. I look forward to comments on what things were useful to you.

Easy childbirth for you.
