you should get something from the hospital stating what they require you to bring. I think it might also have some bearing if you go private or public, thou, dont quote me on it. I am going private, and this is the list they have told me:
- Comfy casual cloths to wear during the day
- Nightwear, dressing gown and slippers
- Underwear - approx 6 pairs. (i have like 14 packed )
- Maternity bras - 3pairs
- Nursing Pads
- Cloths for your baby (but, my hospital provides wraps and t/shirts - which we can use, or provide our own.) But, make sure you have cloths for baby to go home in
- Toiletries
- Tissues (ooops, dont have them packed)
- Sanitary Pads - (i have 3 packs of full maternity type ones, and 1 pack of normal use pads)
- Washing powder/liquid
- Hairdryer
- Personal Music Player
- Pen, Address book, thank you cards, stationary,
- Novels, magazines
- Sibling gifts if needed
- Favourite pillow
- CAMERA!!!
- If planning on F/Feeding, then bottles, teats and formula.

I have also packed in extra toothbrush for DH, deodrant, and his hair gel. As well as 2 pairs of undies, swimming shorts, trackie pants and jumper.

Have packed magazines for DH as well. Some UNO cards. Milo, a mug, mars bars, lollypops, and some other lollies.

At home, on a shelf in the babys room, i have a stash of fruit, nuts, dried apricots, books, breast pump, and some rice biskets etc so that if i want DH to bring them in, its easy for him to find.
