- Nursing-friendly pajamas – Lake Pajamas are obviously on the more expensive side but I love them SO much.
- Soft blanket – our babies have all loooooved cuddling with Saranoni blankets
- Car seat with Base – you can’t leave the hospital until you safely strap baby in their car seat and base in the car.
- Phone Chargers – longer cords are key!

- Fuzzy socks – can’t have your toes go cold!
- Pillows – this is definitely a more high-maintenance item but the hospital pillows kind of suck haha

Here are some more ideas!
