Empowering mothers worldwide through connection, support, and shared experiences ✨
Moms share detailed packing lists for mom and baby, recommending Pampers newborn diapers, plenty of panties and absorbent pads/diapers for heavy postpartum bleeding, front-open clothing, and coconut oil rather than chemical nipple creams.
⚠️ Caution:Avoid chemical nipple creams once breastfeeding, as the baby can ingest them - moms suggest coconut oil instead.
First-time moms worry about forgetting essentials in the hospital bag and managing heavy postpartum bleeding. The community offers reassuringly thorough lists for mom and baby - plenty of panties and absorbent pads, front-open clothing, Pampers newborn diapers - and the practical tip to use coconut oil instead of chemical nipple creams the baby would otherwise ingest.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Diapers: Pampers newborn diapers and Cojin disposable diapers.
For mom: front-button or zip gowns, 5-10 panties for heavy bleeding, soft cotton pads or diapers for heavy bleeding, feeding bras, breast pads, a hand towel, washroom slippers, and coconut oil for nipples.
For baby: newborn diapers (Pampers), wipes, front-open cotton shirts, mittens, socks, a swaddle, a blanket, and rash cream.
Don't use nipple cream after delivery as the baby will consume the chemicals while feeding - use coconut oil instead.
