Re: Hospital Packing List
I took the hospital tour this past weekend. Pretty much like S02/Ehl and you said I will be provided with mostly everything. Exception being now they don’t provide as many freebies (diapers, wipes, formula) on discharge. Especially since they are encouraging breastfeeding, so unless you are really unable to, they discourage formula. Of course if you need it they will give it to you, but non to take home it seems.
As for rest your right, but I am not sure how it will work. They said since they are trying to encourage breastfeeding, the baby will be in the room with mom for the most part. Even some shots will be given in room. However if mom is feeling sick then she can request baby to be taken to nursery for a while. I wonder how that will play out realistically. I would prefer baby goes to nursery at night so that I can sleep. Let’s see.
And as much as I know the stores don’t close, dunno why I am being so crazy and thinking he won’t be able to figure out what I really need…hehe so trying to get everything ready at home before I go.
Noticed the same change here. They only took the baby to be weighed at night. Otherwise he was always in the room. But I always had someone with me – will someone be able to stay with you, especially in case if a csection?
