Pack the hospital bag | H&M Baby

After that first moment of laying skin-to-skin, your baby needs to be warm and comfy. Dress your little one in something simple and accessible — like a bodysuit. Our newborn bodysuits are made from soft, organic cotton tricot and don’t have any irritating seams or labels.

A good nursing bra is essential for every mom who decides to breastfeed. There are many different styles for different body types and occasions: wireless bras, bras with lined cups, stretch fabrics, etc. The most important thing is to find a nursing bra that works best for you and your needs. 

At the hospital, the most important thing is to be as comfortable as possible. Pack a few relaxed outfits in soft materials that you feel happy and cosy in. Stylish loungewear and comfy robes are perfect for those early snuggle sessions. 

Wrap your newborn in a soft baby blanket to keep them warm and cosy. It’ll protect their gentle skin and is perfect to snuggle up in. 

It’s essential to keep your new baby warm and toasty, so don’t forget the cotton hats. Cute and cosy hats help regulate their body temperature and are as important in winter as in summer.

To use a pacifier, or not to use a pacifier — that’s the question for many parents. But if it’s something you’re contemplating, bringing one to the hospital can be a good idea. It might take some experimenting to find the right fit for your baby, so don’t be discouraged if you might need to try different materials and designs. 

Giving birth is a tremendous challenge for your body, so don’t forget to take care of your sensitive parts. Bring comfy underwear in soft fabrics that are gentle to your skin, and leave any tight models with irritating seams at home. Styles with enough coverage to keep pads in place are also a good idea for any postpartum mother.
