Things To Keep In Mind
✔ Follow the “1-Night, 1-Set” Rule – Pack one set of comfy maternity clothes and baby essentials per night at the hospital, plus extras for surprises.
✔ Create a Mini Recovery Kit – Keep maternity pads, nipple cream, pain relief spray, and lip balm in one easy-to-reach pouch.
✔ Roll, Don’t Fold – Rolling clothes saves space and keeps everything organized for quick access.
✔ Use Packing Cubes or Ziplocks – Separate mom’s, baby’s, and partner’s essentials to avoid last-minute digging.
✔ Keep Must-Haves Handy – Store your phone charger, snacks, and hospital documents in an outer pocket for quick grab-and-go access.
