Oh hi there!

amidkiff · January 2013

I'm going to do an official intro post soon, but just wanted to ask some advice real quick. What all did you take from the hospital? DH and I were just wondering what they are already going to charge us for so we should just take home anyway.
TIA, Amber

We took home just about everything. The only thing they wouldn't let us take were the receiving blankets. We have a couple of the little newborn shirts they had him in, as well as the hats. I would have taken the extra pads, but I used them all. I also took the little squirt bottle for when I went to the bathroom, the witch hazel pads.

Thank you!

I took the peri bottle, hat and one or two of the shirts she wore there (which were 6m size for some strange reason). Last time I was still bleeding a lot so I took the giant pads with mesh panties to wear for another day or two but this time I was fine with regular pads. They did give me a pack of regular pads which I took as well but they are so bulky that I haven't used them since I got home.

They said we could have the mesh panties, pads, and water squeeze bottles. We also got a few newborn pampers swaddlers that they had, along with a pack of 4x4 gauze pads that they used to clean her with. They also gave us the pink bin they used to give her first bath in. DH took the toothbrush and shampoo stuff.

They gave us two of those numbing spray things and some lanolin. Those had my sticker name things on them though. We got two knit hats and an extra set of onsies.

They also gave a bag of pumping stuff after we told them I had the medela pump. I think we got some formula coupons/samples as well.

Bring an empty bag to carry it home.

Hey!! Our nurse told us anything disposable, I could take. pump parts, pads, mesh panties, diapers, rash cream, the pads they lay under you so you don't get blood all over the bed. They also gave me 3 bags of goodies. Thermometeter, bottle/pump parts cleaning brush, a thermal bag, etc. I'd just ask the nurses what they think.

Thanks ladies! I can't wait to get out of this hospital!

Everything except linens. So, diapers, wipes, suction bulbs, disposable underwear, maxi pads, alcohol wipes, all of it. Our nurse even gave us a couple extra packages of diapers.

We were allowed to take anything that wasn't linens. For myself I took the peri bottle, large diaper pads, witch hazel pads and I even asked for an extra container, mesh panties, lanolin (sp?) for my breasts , a cooling spray..forgot the name now.

For the baby we were allowed to take hats, diapers, suction bulb, vaseline for circ, comb.

Congrats again! It will feel great to get out of there I'm sure!

Oh yes! The suction bulb! Guard that thing with your life, and if they'll give you two, all the better.

We went home with pretty much anything that wasn't nailed down, lol.

A bunch of pads, formula samples, extra tubung and syringes (he was supplemented by syringe with formula until my milk came in fully), a receiving blanket, a cap, nipple shields, the suction bulb, a thermometer they'd used on him, the bin and pitcher they had in there for me to use (that pitcher was awesome when I was BF'ing in the newborn stage and the bin was handy for getting blowout casualties from the nursery to the washer), diapers...and probably more I'm not thinking of. Pretty much they said if it was disposable and open, it was fair game. They did clear out the unopened packages of formula and diapers when they found out we were going to be discharged though. Sad We didn't get a goody bag for a parting gift, either.

Ha! Yes.

Lots of folks are saying they didn't take linens, but we did actually take two of the receiving blankets that DD was swaddled in while we were there. We never asked, and I doubt they noticed.
