Expecting & Hospital Bag FAQ

Keep it simple. A few swaddles or wraps, a couple of sets of newborn clothes, a going home outfit, nappies and wipes, and a soft blanket for the car seat trip home.

Most hospitals supply some basics, so it's worth checking with yours before you pack.

Many parents aim to have their bag packed by around 36 weeks. Babies don't always follow the plan, so having it ready a little earlier takes the pressure off.

Three to five is a good number. It gives you enough to rotate through washing, keep one in the nappy bag and still have a clean one ready for sleep time.

Yes. Comfortable clothes, toiletries, snacks, a phone charger and anything that helps you feel a little more like yourself. Our Little Comforts for Mum bundle was made for exactly this.

That's when they're most helpful. Reading about safe sleep, swaddling and feeding cues before baby comes means you're not trying to learn it all at 3am.

Practical things they'll use from the first day. A swaddle bundle, bassinet sheets or a gift for mum are all thoughtful choices that won't end up in a cupboard.
