Maternity Suitcase
Share
To help you in your maternity, Limky makes you her list of things to think about for her stay at the maternity :) The idea is to have a bag for the delivery room and a suitcase for the stay at the maternity hospital. The little extras for your stay: your pillow for a total comfort, reading and your headphones :) By the way,
1- BAG FOR THE DELIVERY ROOM |
For baby | For mum |
1 bodysuit (preferably double-breasted) | - maternity file* (*more details below) |
- 1 pyjama | - administrative documents* (*more details below) |
- 1 cap | - 1 bottle of water |
- 1 vest | - 1 nightgown / t-shirt |
- 1 pair of mittens | - 1 spray bottle |
- 1 pair of socks | - snacks for the accompanying person |
- 1 hair elastic |
2- SUITCASE FOR THE STAY AT THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL |
For baby | For mom |
- 6 bodysuits (preferably crossed - do not hesitate to take two sizes) | - 2 shirts / night-shirt |

HYGIENE (if not provided by the maternity hospital) | - 1 toiletry kit* (*details below if needed) |

DOSSIER MATERNITÉ | DOSSIER ADMINISTRATIF |

- compte-rendus échographiques | - reconnaissance anticipée ou livret de famille |
- carnet de santé | - fiche d'inscription à la maternité |
- carte d'identité |
VOTRE TROUSSER DE TOILETTE (j'oubli toujours un truc, alors vive les listes :) : |
- 1 gel intime super doux | - brosse à dents + dentifrice |
- 1 brosse + élastique à cheveux | - makeup si l'envie vous dit... et au cas où la photographe maternité serait de passage !) |
- shampooing | - gel douche |
- sèche-cheveux | - 1 déodorant sain |
NOS TIPS : Ne pas hésiter à demander les choses listées ci-dessous ou à demander leur réassort |
- des couches bébé | - de l'eau minérale |
- du liniment | - changer les draps (vive les pertes de sang 🩸) |
- des cotons de change | - demander une ordonnance pour la location du tire-lait (ici on adore le service de Grandir Nature et leur tire lait Spectra) |
- de l'aide pour nettoyer le cordon et faire le change | - une démonstration pour donner le bain et changer les couches |
Mamacitabox or la Box des mamans are planning for you boxes with lots of little things to take care of you during your maternity and postpartum period :)
