Moms and Babies Needs | What to pack to hospital? | What to buy for moms and baby?

My own list after 3 children and another baking in the oven:


A list of options that I have accumulated after 3 + 1/2 babies. You can pick and choose whichever suits you. The one in blue are what I'm buying/;re-use this time around. These are useful while you are still in confinement. Once you start work (if you are working), the list may differ somewhat.

Toiletries:

bath tub
rubber mat
syampoo
sabun mandi

baby oil
baby lotion
nappy rash cream
vaseline

towel
face cloth
wash cloth


Baby care:

kapas
cotton buds
wet wipes

changing mat
sikat
bedak
gunting

sireh
kain tuam perut

Baby inner wear:

Others:

Jelly gamat
Minyak panas/gamat

you would want to look presentable after all the hard work just to feel human again despite the pains. It helps to groom yourself as a distraction.

a small backpack would suffice if you are going in to the labour room to deliver your baby. Obviously you can't bring in your luggage with you!
