What to pack in your hospital bag

The go-bag is every new mommy's secret to a smooth hospital experience.

The last thing you want to think or stress about when delivering your new baby is whether you remembered the camera or toothpaste or other essentials (and why you forgot that hair tie!) that help make you feel human when you just had the most super-human experience ever.

We've put together the real MUST HAVE list of essentials for you to pack

the real MUST-HAVE list of things to pack in your hospital bag

When preparing your go-bags (one for you and one for your baby), make sure both are packed and in your car or stashed at the door by 35 weeks, just in case your baby decides to arrive early.

These are our absolute must-haves for your baby's bag:

Baby car seat (get the capsule, it'll be your new handbag)
Two or three bodysuits and vests
A jumpsuit (all-in-one)
Baby blanket
Nappies (enough of those!)
Wraps for sleeping and wipe up spills
One pair of soft booties
Beanie
One outfit for the trip home
