I brought the kotex 'surfboards' which really can in handy as I had a few stitches, and its much easier to spit them open to fit an icypole inside - you can't do that with an ultrathin.

But here hoping you have no need to anyway!

I took the softest toilet paper that I could find, and I was really glad that I did.

For baby, I would recommend using as much of the hospital supplied wraps and clothing as you can, purely to save your's getting lost, as the staff will most likely just throw it all in the linen bag. They won't check to see whther its your/theirs. I know this through personal experience.

We did take an outfit to bring Milo home in.
