hello mummies,
exciting time for most of us esp during these 2 months.. i think most mummies here will pop by ard 2 months time, including me! i'm 31 wks now.. alot of things not prepared yet.. and i havent found a maid yet.. looks like i will have to look after my baby on my own when my confinement lady leaves after 1 month..
i also got baby clothes not washed yet.. think will start washing in April. need to use baby detergent to wash right?
my colleague gave me some checklist, thought i share it here:
1. Feeding time
1.1 For breastfeeding
-Nursing bras:2 pairs (Cotton material is the best)
-Disposable breast pads:1 box
1.2 For breastfeeding w/ expressing
-Breast pump
-Bottles with caps
1.3 Bottle feeding
-Powdered baby milk:3 cans (Consult your paediatrician for type of formulae)
-Bottles with teats and caps
-Bottle sterilising equipment
-Bottle cleaning cleaner:2 (Highly recommended brand: Pigeon, those with fully sponged type. Brush type is not as effective)
-Baby plastic feeding spoon:1
-Baby compact milk powder container:1
-Bottle warmer:1 (Optional)
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN THE HOSPITAL BAG
1. For yourself
-Two nightdresses (Get those with open-front, buttons all the way, for easier breastfeeding)
-Slippers:1 pair
-Nursing bras:2 pairs
-Disposable breast pads:24 pieces
-Necessary toiletries
-Books/ Magazines
-Camera (Remember to load it)
-Cash
-Disposable maternity pads:2 packets (Get more to last say 2 weeks)
-Disposable maternity briefs:2 packs (Get more to last say 2 weeks)
-Going home clothes:1 set
-Jumper/ sweater:1 piece (Get those with open-front, buttons all the way, for easier breastfeeding)
-Face towel:1 piece
-Tissues:1 box
-Breast Pump:1 set (Use to simulate lactation as soon as after delivery)
-Essence of Chicken:Few bottles
-Snacks: Few packets (Get those in smaller packing i.e., biscuits)
-Instantly ready beverages: Few packs (Suggest 3-in-1 milo packs)
2. For baby
-Mittens/ botties:2 pairs (Though baby will be at the nursery, good to have them in case your baby feels cold)
-Going home clothes:1 piece
-Baby disposable wet wipes:1 packet
-Baby disposable nappies: Few pieces
-Baby toiletries:see note
-Shawl:1 piece
N/B: Though good to check what the hospital is providing, it is always good to bring your own in case supply provided by your hospital runs out during your stay.
Meanwhile, let's all enjoy our 3rd trimester before we pop ya!!
