Hospital Bag Checklist - Our Top 10 essentials for post-birth and recovery.

Carefully-sourced, thoughtful items to bring you the comfort and luxuries of home to the hospital, whilst providing you relief and comfort from post-birth and breastfeeding and aiding recovery.

Here is our list!

 

1. Breastfeeding friendly pyjamas + robe.

Being comfortable is key post birth, so make sure to pack loungewear-appropriate pyjamas and robes, so you can still feel put together when family and friends may be visiting you and baby.
