So here it is, my latest (and greatest) rendition of everything you need and nothing you don’t for your hospital bag packing list when it’s time to give birth.

  1. I would say, add some disposable diapers. Seriously. Silhouette are great and slim under clothes–so much easier than layering monster pads on your undies.

    • I used to recommend Depends, but the panties I recommended above can hold 2 tampons worth. They're amazing and way better than adult diapers 😉

    • If you click on the text in the list that's bold, they're linked to the the websites that you can find the items. 🙂

  2. Could you please tell me where the infant car seat pillow pictured is from? Looking for one just like it! I love this list! Thanks!

    • Hi Haley- The pillow comes with that particular carseat 🙂 Glad you find the list useful!
