Hospital clothes for mom

I am a terrible packer for a normal trip/vacation so the task of packing my hospital bag has sent me into panicAmazon searching for postpartum phs, robes, nursing tops, bottoms …. You name it. 

I know “what” to pack but I don’t owe said things so suggestions on items and where to buy them! Thanks!!

Re: Hospital clothes for mom

  • All I did was wear the gowns at the hospital.  I bled very heave afterward and bled through the gowns a couple of times and needed bedding changed.  For going home, I just had a pair of Baggy drawstring pants and comfy sweatshirt.  I wore my maternity clothes for a bit until things settles a bit.

  • Girl, Amazon was my go-to for everything this time around! I’ve had three babies before and honestly, I never packed much besides the basics for baby. But since it’s been 9 years, I decided to go all out and treat myself—figured I deserve to feel my best this time! I grabbed all the FridaMom postpartum essentials too 🙌
