What I'm Packing in My Hospital Bag for Baby #2
I remember doing SO much research the first time I packed my hospital bag for Sutton’s arrival. TBH, I was quite overwhelmed with all the information out there! My biggest piece of advice is try to keep your list simple. Just know there are definitely going to be things that you cannot fit in your suitcase. For example, pillows, blankets, bath towels, nursing pillow, etc. For these items, get a plastic laundry basket. It’s super easy to carry and can slide easily in the car. Right now I have all of our bags packed and in our closet right next to the front door. Just in case my water breaks when I’m not home, etc. Praying that doesn’t happen lol – but you never know! I hope my list is helpful and takes some stress away from this very exciting time! And to put your mind at ease, remember there is ALWAYS Target pick-up and a family member or close friend can easily pick it up for you and bring it to the hospital.

This is my #1 recommended baby product. It’s most definitely an investment BUT when you think about the convenience it provides it’s 100% worth it. I love how it’s a stroller & carseat all in one. It’s perfect for strolling your newborn out of the hospital and into the car. I also love how it fits under almost all tables at restaurants and doesn’t take up hardly any room!
