Hello there so I have been PUTTING OFF THE DIAPER BAG packing for days, but with more braxton and hicks contractions and exactly 1 week today until the BIG BIRTHDAY…. I sat my round pumpkin belly butt self down on the floor and started to sort and go through a mental checklist for baby Evin’s diaper bag, and got “PACKING!” p.s. I also have c-sections so i am in the hosp. 3-4 days.
I THOUGHT FOR NEWBIE PREGO MOMS I WOULD SHARE MY LIST FOR THE DIAPER BAG CHECKLIST! doesn’t mean I am a pro, but this is # 4 so I think I have it in the bag… no pun! winks!
{{THE LIST}}
DIAPER BAG *
wet wipes *
Changing pad*
Butt paste*
5 diapers* (they provide you some in the hosp.)
Nursing Cover*
Nursing pads*
3 newborn onesies*
3 pair of newborn socks*
1 large swaddling blanket (the nurses swaddle them in their blankets in the hosp. but you will need a take home one.)*
one knitted hat*
one take home outfit*
3 burp cloths*
scented poopy bags!*
and
the hosp. provides bottles, a pacy, and a syringe bulb so I didn’t pack those!
close up- burp cloths, nursing cover, nursing pads.
BABY EVIN’S Take home outfit! ITS A PREEMIE my babies are little and “Dog on Cute” 😉 woof woof.
three newborn onesies one itty bitty hat and itty bitty socks!
newborn diapers, diaper pouch with wet wipes, butt paste, changing pad, and baby SWEET SMELLING powder. Sighhhhh….
a pouch that comes with the diaper bag that you can use to hold the binkie but I have the scented disposable poopy bags in it instead. 😉
DO YOU LOVE THE DIAPER BAG? Well there are not enough words for me to describe how gorg. well made and fabulous it is. ITS by BABY KAED. I was lucky enough to do a product review on it about 2 years ago on my other blog. It was so gently used that its like brand spanking new and I WAS THRILLED to pull it down and get it packed up.
WELL THERE YOU HAVE IT! if you ever wondered what to pack for your sweet babies diaper bag here you go. Now I do have prego brain so I may of forgotten something important, but for now I think I got it. Now to just pack my bag……. BUT NOTHING FITS! BLAH!
I know this is number 4 for you so you know what you are doing- but one thing I ALWAYS carry in my diaper bag is an extra shirt for ME! I learned the hard way and was out in a puked on shirt for a couple hours because I didnt have a back up! Just a thought! 🙂
Aw.. first of all love the diaper bag. look at how little those clothes are mmmm. And I only have a 1 month old! But the difference between newborn and 1 month is the way they start filling out. She looks big to me now. I pack less clothes but you know what you need. We also have the doggy out fit for my 22 month old it is adorable. I have big babies but my 1 month old is still in NB she was my largest length baby 2nd heaviest but just so tiny. And I like your idea for the poop bag holder.
{sigh} It was about a year ago today that I sat down and packed my hospital baby bag for #2 and now I am throwing her birthday party this weekend. Where does the time go? Good luck and speedy recovery from you c-section!
Wow girl you are all ready to go. Can’t wait to meet the newest member. Love all the itty bitty clothes. Precious! Love the bag too. Very sassy! Hugs, Mimi

Ahh so cute! And thanks for letting me know what you are taking. I am prego with my first baby so it is nice to know what to bring since I had no idea about some of that stuff and what the hospital provides and stuff.
I think you have everything covered. I am exactly a month from deliver (c-sec also) and keep putting off the bag packing. This is #3 for me but the older two are OLDER and I just feel like there’s something I’m forgetting. I’m there with you on packing a bag for myself, nothing fits or looks comfy enough for post surgery. 🙁 I wish you lots of lots of luck next week and can’t wait to see pics of your newest one.
After our first baby was over 10 pounds, we learned to pack baby clothes in a couple of sizes 🙂 I also always took snacks for myself (such a pain to call for nurses in the middle of the night when I’d wake up starving) and Lansinoh.
i had my last baby almost 4 week early…..and NOTHING was ready. not even the car seat. I was a hot mess…between contractions I was trying to write a list of the things my husband had to gather up. GOOD LUCK IN a WEEK!
I took a few more sleepers with me the second time around. I liked actually being able to dress my little guy during the day when he was with me in the room. 🙂 AND you make me REALLY want another one!!!
Such a sweet time!!!!! I just love smelling freshly washed baby clothes. My “never leave home without it” item was Johnson’s Baby Lotion!!! Oh, it just seems to make poop and puke smell good! LOL
Times must have changed! I didn’t take nearly that much stuff to the hospital for the baby. In fact, I barely remember taking anything other than the frilly coming home outfit. The diapers and stuff came from the hospital and she was in hospital baby wear while we were there. Cute stuff though…love those little things!
YAY!!! It’s getting close! I can’t wait to see pictures of this new little guy. (and if by chance you have 2 that come out, can I have one?) 🙂
Looks like you are ready now!! Good luck and let us know when you leave for the hospital.
Those disposable diaper bags are the BEST!
And I love your diaper bag too 🙂

Oh, those little clothes are adorable! (Almost cute enough to make me want to go for a fourth, but not quite!;) )
Best wishes for a beautiful, healthy baby and a quick recovery.
