Baby is coming in a few weeks and it is high time to think about what you are going to take with you to the maternity ward. The suitcase is ready with everything you need for you and your baby but there is still a little room to slip in our 10 essentials that will bring you comfort and make your stay at the maternity ward sweeter!
1. A night light
Or a garland, small lamp, portable lamp, flashlight... to change, rock, breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby at night without having to turn on the harsh neon lights in the room. Not very pleasant waking up with 10,000 watts in your face!
2. A small portable speaker
To give you energy during childbirth or to diffuse soft and soothing music during your stay in the maternity ward. You can also put in the background the music that you listened to during your pregnancy and that rocked your baby in utero. Find our ideal Playlist during childbirth here .
3. A nursing pillow
Whether you are breastfeeding or not, the nursing pillow is truly the essential accessory. Ideal for holding baby comfortably against you without getting cramps in your arm!
4. A birth bottle
Once your baby is born, the midwives will ask you very quickly if you want to breastfeed. Do you prefer to bottle feed? Say it without feeling guilty and don't forget, before leaving the house, to take the birth bottle that you bought for your newborn. Made of soft, flexible medical silicone, with a slow or extra-slow flow physiological teat and an eminently maternal design, the BibROND Élhée adapts to all babies from day one.
5. Small snacks
Chocolate, dried fruits or even snacks Jolly Mama (or M&M's work too) )… Little pleasures to give you energy after the childbirth marathon you have just been through!
6. Magazines
Gala, Voici, Glamour, Elle… After the visits, the naps and the hours you will spend watching your baby, you will surely find a few minutes to clear your head and keep yourself informed of what is happening on the planet People ;).
7. A Postpartum Survival Kit
Mamacitas offers a box with a selection of simple and healthy products to slip into your suitcase to bring good vibes into your postpartum! Find it here here .
8. A physiological pacifier for babies
If you have already thought about the question - pacifier or thumb? - and you have opted for the first solution, add a baby pacifier to a small corner of your maternity suitcase. But not just any pacifier. An extra-thin, extra-soft and extra-healthy pacifier, made entirely of medical grade silicone of course!9. A gift box for the eldest
The idea is to make a small box filled with little gifts for your eldest from the baby that he/she will be delighted to open at the maternity ward! This could be “vouchers”, a small book, puzzles… Time at the maternity ward can seem long for the eldest, there is not much to do and this could keep him/her busy for a while!
10. A nice notebook and a pencil
To write down your first impressions, memories and emotions. You will take great pleasure in rereading it later and giving it to your child when he or she is older!
11. A kettle and herbal teas!
It's certainly cumbersome, but what a joy to be able to make yourself a warm and comforting herbal tea at any time of the day or night.
12. A face mask and body cream
Baby is sleeping peacefully, take some time for yourself and enjoy these moments to relax with a face mask. If your other half is with you, you can even ask for a little foot, leg or hand massage = Maximum relaxation!
