The countless hours of Youtube research definitely paid off. I did not overpack, but I for sure did not under pack. Looking back on the days I was in the hospital, I definitely felt prepared especially being a FTM (first time mama). I did not bring anything for the baby except 2 outfits, a hat, socks, 2 Aden & Anai swaddles & my holy grail Water Wipes. The hospital provided everything else possible for baby and even extra things for me to take home. For myself, the hospital also provided me with all the medical/postpartum essentials. The things I’m glad I brought my own of was a comfy pillow from home, my nursing pillow (My Breast Friend), and extra large cheap undies. I packed all my stuff in a carry on size Louis Vuitton rolling suit case. All of baby’s stuff was in his Skip Hop diaper bag.
