Patient's question:
I am 39 weeks pregnant. Yesterday, I went for a prenatal check-up, and the doctor said to prepare for delivery at any time. I need to prepare a hospital bag and some baby items, such as clothes and blankets. We visited a maternity and baby store and the staff recommended some items, which should be these.What kind of help do I need: What should be included in the hospital bag?
Doctor's answer:
Mothers-to-be must disinfect everything that can be washed and disinfected before giving birth. It is best to let clothes and towels dry in the sun, which is more beneficial for health and welcoming the baby. Small towels, medium towels, large towels, bath towels, bath tubs, small face bowls, infant small bottles, large bottles, bottle brushes, bottle warmers, small cups with lids, small spoons, infant bath soap, talcum powder, wet wipes, disposable diapers, cloth diapers, one homemade elastic band,, infant clothes (5 long-sleeved sets), adult sleepwear (3 sets), bras (size 90 and 95, each 2 pieces), belly bands, mom-and-me towels (2 to 3 packs), overnight ultra-absorbent sanitary pads, quality paper towels (3 boxes), formula milk, blankets, socks, and hats. The items listed above are all essentials and are sufficient for the needs of a newborn baby. However, due to differences in personal habits and regional customs, there may be variations.
