Packing for the Hospital

Essentials for Mom
* Nursing bra
Supports swollen, sore breasts and keeps breast pads in place
* Breast pads
These stop messy leaks by absorbing milk
* Nursing pillow
Reduces the strain on your arms, neck, and back while nursing
* Nightgown and robe
More comfortable than standard hospital gowns
* Slippers
For walking around the hospital during early labor
* Socks
To keep your feet warm during delivery
* Going-home outfit
Choose something that fit during your sixth month of pregnancy
* Toiletries
Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, lip balm, makeup, hairbrush, shampoo, and soap
* Sanitary pads
You'll be more comfortable after delivery with your favorite brand
* Camera
For all those important first photos
* Address book
You'll have plenty of calls to make
Essentials for your baby
* Going-home outfit
A soft, adorable footed outfit for your baby's first homecoming
* Hat
Prevents heat loss by covering your baby's head
* Booties/socks
To keep little feet snug and warm
* Receiving blankets
Newborns love to be swaddled
Nice extras
* Video camera
To document those precious first moments of your baby's life
* Hair clip or band
Keeps hair out of the way during delivery
* Massage oils
Especially helpful for relieving back labor
* CDs/CD player
Soothing music can help you relax before and after delivery
* Pillow from home
Adds a touch of familiar comfort
* Magazines
You can expect some down time, but you won't want a novel

Bring something to munch on during the early stages of delivery

Annie,
This is a nice check list. You got almost everything in the list. I think Baby Nail cutter/filer should also be included in the list. Some baby's have nails grown when they come out.

Have any of you pierced your baby´ s ears?
Have any of you pierced your baby' s ears? Where did you get it done? Were you able to change the earrings after the piercing and put on indian ear rings? My pediatrician does not do it, and she suggested that i take tanvi to the mall. Pls share your experiences at the mall if you' ve had any.

Ear piercing
My daughter was 5 months old when we decided to get her ear pierced. The non medical ear piercing options are painful and unsafe with possibilities of hepatitis, viruses and even HIV and I can never recommend it. My husband and I were looking for a safe, modern, gun shot piercing option which is completely safe, pain-free and with a traditional touch as well.
