Wow, what a lot of great ideas! I love the dark face washer idea.

Things hubby had to bring in later so I will pack this time include:
- more pads
- more breast pads
- more tops - I leaked milk over everything and had to change clothes at least a couple of times a day. This was prob worse as I could only feed with nipple shields and milk would get over everything during a feed.
- hair dryer - as mentioned great for drying off down yonder
- non-allergenic bath wash and moisturiser for DS - hospital only supplied Johnston&johnston which are petroleum based and not good for his dry skin and ezecema

I stayed in the hospital gown (well actually several different ones) for the first couple of days until the bleeding settled down. Not attractive but otherwise I would have stained so many clothes I would have run out several times over.

I aimed to pack at 35 weeks and actually did at 38 weeks. I think was my way of saying "now I am ready for a baby". Before that I was subconsiously putting it off bcos I wasn't ready!! Lucky neither was DS!! LOL!!
