my partner tried to buy some food but there was only the vending machine which isnt very filling for someone who missed dinner as we rushed to the hospital, thomas was born at 4.30 so he was pretty hungry! so definitely pack lots of food ]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:09:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402207&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402207 <![CDATA[What to take to hospital : I agree with the snacks as hospital...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402163&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402163 Author: julz59

I agree with the snacks as hospital food is not that great. I found bananas to be great as they are easy for a midnight snack.
Good luck with the new addition!!!!]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:47:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402163&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402163 <![CDATA[What to take to hospital : Could take soft toilet paper...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402128&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402128 Author: DJ

I agree on the food. You get meals (eventually) but partners don't, so pack stuff for them (or some money for the cafe).
Take comfy bed type clothes, bras and breast pads. Also if you're going to be there a while, maybe take a pillow and blanket for your partner.
Also clothes for bubba to go home in. When we were there they didn't supply baby socks or hats. Just baby hospital gowns and blankets.
But maternity pads, nappies are all supplied.
Take breastfeeding books/info. The nurses up there are often to busy to spend the time needed with you to help get you going. Don't be afraid to ask though. I got quite annoyed with the nurses helping me coz they all had impatient attitudes.

Good luck, hope all goes well! ]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:50:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402102&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402102 <![CDATA[What to take to hospital : She might want a few maternity...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402035&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402035 Author: cuppatea

She might want a few maternity bras and a few tops as well, when my milk came in I managed to soak through everything.
Definitley food and maybe some drinks, like powerade etc.]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:53:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402035&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402035 <![CDATA[What to take to hospital : i was given food straight away...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402019&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402019 Author: popcorn

i was given food straight away but hospital food isnt great so thats a really good idea, also i should have packed food for my partner he was starving!]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:39:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402019&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402019 <![CDATA[What to take to hospital : Food-something to eat afterwards....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=402009&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#402009 Author: Mum2ET

Food-something to eat afterwards. i was so hungry after having Ella and it took ages (at NSH) to get some dinner, which just ended up being a cheese sandwich.

I would also bring a couple of pairs of PJ's. And also don't forget the camera

Hi Kim,
Middlemore supplied everything, cloth nappies, clothes, maternity pads etc. I took my own as well as the clothes arent exactly lovely looking, take your own breast pads and lanolin

good luck to your sister]]> Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:20:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=401989&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#401989 <![CDATA[What to take to hospital : I don&#039;t know what the hospital...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17861&PID=401984&title=what-to-take-to-hospital#401984 Author: mummy_becks
