The bag for the mother should be practical, small and discreet, but should contain everything necessary for the big day and for her stay in hospital:
1. A valid health card and identification document;
2. Pregnancy documents and examinations: blood group, blood chemistry tests, ultrasound scans and other tests carried out during the nine months;
3. Nightgown, dressing gown, socks and slippers for labor;
4. Candy and water bottles;
5. A playlist of relaxing music can be brought; Mobile phone charger;
6. Comfortable and loose-fitting clothes for the journey home.
The maternity bag, with all the necessary complements for the newborn baby:
1. Bath towel;
2. I recommend washing it several times to make it more absorbent;
3. Mild baby detergent;
4. Baby comb, not the brush — the comb is used to remove any residue from the baby's hair;
5. Nappies, the smallest size;
6. Babygrow or onesie, made of soft, warm fabric;
7. Long-sleeved bodysuit;
8. Lucky blouse if you wish to use it;
9. Socks;
10. Hats (even in summer) — babies tend to lose heat, so it is preferable to put on a hat to keep warm;
11. Blanket to wrap the newborn in soft, warm material.
And for the father-to-be? A packet of tissues, a good mineral salt supplement to support the excitement and get ready to welcome your baby in your arms!
But we want to know, what other things were or will be indispensable to put in the bag for mum and the new baby's bag?
