Yes, another hospital bag thread... !

I won't put up my whole list though as it is pretty similar to Toni's, but there were a few things I wanted to quickly ask about. I know that the hospital or birthing centre will usually provide nappies and wipes for your stay, but I am planning on taking a few anyway "just in case". The question is, how many ?? More so for the wipes than the nappies, have already got them sorted. However, the packs of wipes I have are quite big (80's), and can't really be split up. Ideas?

Also, at home we only use shampoo and conditioner that come in really big bottles, can anyone recommend a good brand and where to get some travel sized ones?

Actually, that's about it. Thought I had more to ask, but it will probably come to me later ! LOL

I was thinking about that Nikki and I don't think we do, might ring my mum though because she used to have a whole box full of little bottles for stuff like that. Good idea about the glad bags though LOL I will add some to the grocery list.

I don't think I took any nappies.. you get these new mother packs with quite a few samples of nappies and wipes and nappy creams etc.. you only need one disposible to go home in and we just used the cloth hospital nappies while we were there.

That sux!

I got a pack on my bed when I went to post natal suite after Arna was born - cant remember what was in there cause David grabbed it and took it home!!

Ohhh pantene and sunsilk are giving away freebies at the moment on their websites i think i just asked for some and should get them soon, u could give that a go?

Ok well I will try to just worry about the wipes then, although I seem to have fit everything in so far, with a *little* room to spare for my own clothes LOL I will wait a little while yet before I do that as I am currently living in the ones I want to take with me LOL

jax you could get some travel size packs of wipes.   we get the pams ones to put in jack's bag when we go out and about. i think they have about 23-30 in them

LOL Robyn I haven't turned on my computer all day until now, but we did our fortnightly grocery shop this morning and I saw those travel packs of Pams wipes and grabbed one ! I also now have some small containers for my shampoo and conditioner - yay for "smidgets" LOL (Geez, I'm ALREADY making tupperware jokes!) Will probably take out the nappies I've put in there too. And as there is a chemists attached to the Pak n Save we go to in Albany, I picked up some Arnica and Tea Tree oil, so am *almost* all packed as well !

jax...i'm vanessa not robyn

when i had jack all i needed were clothes to take him home in, they supplied everything else..nappies, wipes, pads for me etc
i'm going to be birthing somewhere different this time though (as long as bubs isn't breech again), so i'll have to check what i'm going to need..
