Baby's due in a few weeks, and it's high time to start thinking about what you're going to take with you to the maternity ward. The suitcase is packed with everything you need for you and your baby, but there's still plenty of room for our 10 essentials that will make your stay in the maternity ward a little sweeter!
1. A nightlight
Or a garland, small lamp, hand lamp, flashlight... for changing, rocking, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding your baby at night, without having to switch on the aggressive neon lights in the bedroom. Waking up to 10,000 watts in your face isn't exactly pleasant!
2. A small nomad speaker
To energize you during childbirth, or to play soft, soothing music during your stay in the maternity ward. You can also use the music you listened to during your pregnancy to lull your baby in utero. Find our ideal birth playlist here.
3. A nursing pillow
Whether you're breastfeeding or not, a nursing pillow is a must-have accessory. Ideal for cradling baby comfortably against you without cramping your arm!
4. A birth bottle
Once your baby is born, the midwives will quickly ask you if you want to breastfeed. Would you prefer to bottle-feed? Say so without feeling guilty, and don't forget to take the birth bottle you've bought for your newborn with you when you leave the house. Made from soft, supple medical silicone, with a physiological teat for slow or extra-slow flow, and an eminently maternal design, BibROND Élhée adapts to all babies from day one.
5. Small snacks
Chocolate, dried fruit and snacks Jolly Mama (or M&M's, which also work )... Little treats to give you energy after the marathon of childbirth you've just been through!
6. Magazines
Gala, Voici, Glamour, Elle ... After all the visits, naps and hours spent looking at your baby, you're sure to find a few minutes to clear your head and keep up to date with what's happening on Planet People ;).
7. A post-delivery survival kit
Mamacitas offers a box with a selection of simple, healthy products to slip into your suitcase to put good vibes into your postpartum! Find it here.
8. A physiological teat for baby
If you've already considered the question - pacifier or thumb? - and you've opted for the former, add a baby Pacifier to your maternity suitcase. But not just any pacifier. An extra-thin, extra-flexible, extra-healthy pacifier, made entirely from medical-grade silicone, of course!
9. A gift box for the eldest child
The idea is to put together a little box filled with little gifts for your eldest from the baby, which he/she will be delighted to open at the maternity ward! It could be "bons pour", a little book, puzzles... Time in the maternity ward can seem long for older children, but there's not much to do and it could keep them occupied for a while!
10. A nice notebook and a pencil
Write down your first impressions, memories and emotions. You'll enjoy rereading it later and giving it to your child when he or she grows up!
11. A kettle and herbal teas!
Sure, it's cumbersome, but what a joy it is to be able to make yourself a hot, comforting cup of herbal tea at any time of the day or night.
12. Face mask and body cream
Baby's sleeping peacefully, take some time for yourself and relax with a face mask. If your partner is with you, you can even ask for a foot, leg or hand massage = maximum relaxation!
Les biberons Élhée accompagneront votre bébé de la naissance jusqu'à 24 mois et plus, pour lui permettre une parfaite autonomie, sans risque de casse.
