I got babies clothes, diapers, towels, cloth to wrap baby, your clothes, panties, so far..that's the one that i can remember.

any herbs or provided baby medicine that can remove any windy stomach.

i used to rub the yu yee oil (i think it's spelt that way)..on my son's tummy every time after bath to avoid wind in stomach.

bath? for a day old baby?

urrm..i was replying to the question of removing wind from stomach. In any case, yes i did bathe my baby even though a few days old

tnx all. Hope will continue on the topic coz i need it..do the nurse will ask for the clothng for baby?how about for the mothr?

while your wife is in the hospital, she'll be in the hospital gown..but she'll have to change into her clothes before going home.

make sure you have the maternity pads.. first week will be very heavy (even for c-sec mums)

.# maternity pads,.tnx for the info.. Some more please..

gloves or cloves?

Sorry wrng spllng..tnx..some more please

baby tissue? not sure how it call.. special wet tissue to wipe baby's butt when the baby poo~ not sure the hospital to provide such thing but i think i saw my mum brought it there. baby powder? so that the baby butt butt wont get rashes when wrapped by diaper. hope its help^^

For my hospital(Damansara Specialist Hospital) I only need to prepare one set of my own going home clothings and one set of baby going home clothings(mittens, socks, shirt, hat and a swaddling cloth).

Re swaddling cloth, some Chinese believe that swaddling the baby with daddy's t shirt is good. Forgotten what's the reasoning but I did it ayway.

Hi,

I took below things to the hospital when I went to deliver;

For Baby:

1. Diapers
2. 3-4 sets of clothes for baby (Long sleeves baby shirts and long pants)
3. Hand gloves (Mittens)
4. Socks
5. Blanket to wrap the baby (Certain hospitals will provide also)
6. Towel (Just in case only)

For Mommy:

1. Lots of Maternity Pads
2. Panties and Bras
3. Pair of slippers
4. Towel
5. Few night gowns or robes (Certain hospitals will provide also)
6. Soap, Tooth Brush, Tooth Paste, Socks
7. Clothes to wear on the way back home when you are discharged
8. Extra food to eat (Crackers) & Lots of fluid to drink after labour

Hope the above list helps.

All the best...

sbux, u swaddle baby wif daddy's tshirt for how long? or just when at hospital n going back home?

tnx for the info..have to buy 1 more thng and evrythngs is ready..i love lowyat forum..my wife wll gttn brth on our 1st baby grl wthn ths month.im gttn xcited.n m goin to take lv for 1 month so can stay beside my wife n baby...tnx to all

all the best and enjoy fatherhood
i just had a baby boy 8 months old now

this list quite complete already.
For Mummy i will add:
hot water flask, cup, spoon, fork(just in case u buy things for her to eat), milo or her fav drinks

thank u sooo much...i pack the thngs in 2 bag. 1 for the baby and 1 for my wife...

wrapped from hospital back home... continue wrapping for as long as my baby was swaddled. around 2 weeks. cuz my hubby's shirt all very big and comfy. we took old t shirts and wrap.

actually come to think of it, the logic behind was that father's shirt is big and used clothes are comfy.
