With a week to go to, i can finally share my hospital bag. I made lists and lists and lists and put in and packed out, but i think I am finally happy with how it is. I tend to get a little OCD with things like these and i will lie awake at night wondering if i am missing something! Mind you, we only live a street away from Durbanville Medi Clinic and hubby can go home and collect something for me if needed but my mind will not register it that way. I need it with me, right there and then! (Crazy lady, i know.)
So i have three photos here for you. Picture Nr.1 is my stuff in the bag, Nr.2 is a picture of Jaxson’s stuff in the bag and the other is obviously a little flatlay for what James will be wearing and Jaxson’s first outfit. Here we go! Be warned : I am excessive!!
WHAT I PACKED FOR MYSELF :
- Nursing bra from Sophie and Jane
- Night Shirt from Pick and Pay (and a couple that looks similiar from Woolworths)
- Fox Slippers from Woolworths
- Granny panties from Woolworths
- Deodorant, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, body cream, brush and hair ties.
- Carriwell after birth panties (So sexy! – noooottttt)
- Breastpads
- Facecloth
- Lanolin Nipple Cream
- Travel size bottles filled with shampoo, conditioner and face cream.
So what did i pack for Jaxson?
Yeah i told you i am excessive.
- Couple of outfits for in-hospital.
- Coming “home” outfit from Little Handmade.
- Dove wet wipes
- Huggies newborn nappies
- Ben Rabbit bum balm
- Ben Rabbit swaddle, ForevaV swaddle, Little Handmade swaddle and a Woolworths knitted blanket.
- Kippin with a Natursutten pacifier attached that i bought from Gnash Kids
- A few bonnetts.

And for James and Jaxson’s first outfit?

So am i missing anything? LET ME KNOW PEOPLE! I have one week left! Think it’s too much? Yeah don’t worry i think so too. 😉

James and Jax’ mom
Looks like you are sorted! The only thing missing are those awful, massive maternity pads- two packs. If you are keeping it real :), oh and ear plugs / eye mask if you aren’t in a private room. Good luck with the birth of Jaxson! I love his going home outfit, gorgeous!
Take burp cloths too (newB makes personalized ones)! It helps prevent baby from ruining his cute outfit ? Also a towel for his first bath.
Hi Chenel. Waar is jou snack box lol? Water water water en jungle juice mama!!!!!! Verder si dit perfek.
What about pads for post-birth bleeding? Not fun but definitely needed!
Your bag Item 4. granny panties! I love it! These were a must and what I allows them too lol

Hi!
Your bag looks great! I’m definitely taking some tips from yours – I have a few months to go still before my bag has to be ready, but I also have the lists and lists…
My recommendations: add a dark washcloth to your own bag. I used my lighter coloured one for my face and the darker one for the rest of my body 😉 I also found a gorgeous Nursing Cover to be ideal for visiting hours when baby wants to feed.
Good luck!!! xxx
