THE SHORT LIST

Hospital Bag: What I Packed

There’s a lot of advice on what to pack — this is the simple version, just what I’m planning to bring.

A few extras I’m also packing: hair ties or clips, lip balm, a long phone charger, a going-home outfit, a handheld fan, a water bottle, and snacks.

Frida Mom - 11pc Postpartum Essentials Kit Gift Set

A simple, all-in-one set instead of buying everything separately. It ends up being better value and easier to manage — one purchase and done.

Hospitals provide the basics, but the disposable underwear here is a noticeable upgrade in comfort and hold.

LEVSOX - Cotton Compression Socks

An essential if you’re dealing with swelling — they help support circulation and reduce pressure in your legs and feet. Lightweight enough to wear comfortably, with enough compression to last throughout the day.

BRONAX - Pillow Slippers

Soft and cushioned for easy movement around the hospital. Comfortable enough for all-day wear.

Size up if you’re between sizes.

Momcozy - Nursing Bras

Soft, comfortable, and easy to wear throughout the day. Designed for quick access during feeding or pumping, without feeling restrictive.

SKIN1004 - Centella Travel Kit

A simple, calming set with everything in one place — cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. Easy to pack without having to think through each step.

Especially helpful for hospital prep, when you don’t want to be gathering individual products last minute.
