Essential Hospital Packing List for New Parents

Gather all necessary documents such as your exchange card, passport, and relevant health insurance paperwork like SNILS. Make sure to include a few copies of your passport as well.

Don’t forget to pack water and your maternity underwear. Consider bringing a larger size for comfort. Also, include a delivery gown for yourself; if it’s not provided, simply ask your healthcare professional.

Lastly, pack some diapers (90x60), approximately 3 to 5 pieces, along with a pair of washable slippers and some wet wipes (art. 9000213).

Make sure to pack the baby's essentials including diapers, a warm hat, and cozy socks. Additionally, bring a soft blanket to keep the baby comfortable during their first moments.

After childbirth, prioritize your comfort. Bring your own washable slippers and comfortable underwear. Ideally, have at least two sets of pajamas for your stay.

You'll also need a cutlery set, which includes a mug, plate, spoon, and fork, plus a kitchen towel for cleanliness. Don’t forget your bedding set, including a sheet and pillowcase to feel at home.

For hygiene and comfort, pack a cosmetic bag, toilet seat covers, and some bibs for your baby. It’s also essential to have cotton pads and swabs, plenty of toilet paper, and a phone charger.

Bring large and small towels for your needs, along with postpartum underwear (art. 28397730), large pads, and some snacks to keep your energy up, like cookies, bars, tea, or coffee.

Keep hydrated with plenty of water and consider a nightlight and thermometer for monitoring. Pack Microlax and two bags for dirty laundry—one for you and one for the baby.

For breastfeeding, include breast pads (art. 7369104) and a couple of comfortable nursing bras (art. 243331401). Don’t forget wet wipes for quick clean-ups, and lanolin for sore nipples, as well as disposable diapers (90x60) - 7 to 10 pieces.

For the baby’s stay, pack plenty of clothing, around 8 to 10 onesies as they tend to get dirty quickly in the first days of life. Include at least 2 pairs of warmer socks and 3 mittens. Consider bodysuits that include mittens for ease of use.

Prepare 3 caps and an outfit for going home. Also, bring a supply of bibs (3 to 4 pieces) for extra protection.

Don’t forget to pack about 5 to 6 diapers (art. 263812317) and a soft blanket to wrap your baby in. Include 5 disposable diapers (90x60) and approximately 15 additional diapers for daily use.

For cleaning, pack a washing gel and some cotton pads for simple washing. Lastly, include wet wipes and a few pacifiers that you’ve sterilized ahead of time.
