Packing a hospital bag - Good tips from us

When preparing for the arrival of your little one, there are many things to consider. A good tip is to make sure you have a packed hospital bag ready for the big day.

In this post, we will share some tips to make packing your hospital bag easier and more organized. Here are our suggestions for making packing your hospital bag easier and the essentials we would bring:

Diaper bag : Our diaper bag is perfect as a hospital bag.

It's both lightweight and spacious, making it perfect for your needs. The clever compartmentalization makes it easy to organize all your baby gear. You'll find separate compartments for diapers, wipes, a change of clothes, and later snacks and toys.

A matching padded changing mat in a dirt-repellent quality is included, and everything is of course OEKO-TEX® certified.

Driving suit for the trip home: Choose a soft and warm driving suit so your baby is well protected from the vagaries of the weather when you leave the hospital.

Baby blanket/swaddle : A soft and comfortable blanket or swaddle is perfect for keeping your baby warm and safe.

2-3 sets of clothes : We recommend that you pack a few extra sets of clothes for your baby – some days babies wear a surprising amount of clothes . Choose soft and flexible qualities that do not irritate the delicate baby skin. See our Newborn Collection , starting from size 44. Bodysuits, tops and jumpsuits are designed with wrap-around closures, so the clothes are just as easy to take off as they are to put on.

Cloth diapers : Cloth diapers are essential for keeping your baby clean and dry. Bring a few extra for changing on the go.

Liners : To protect little feet. Check out our selection of soft liners to keep them warm.

Newborn hat : A small hat that can keep your baby's head warm and protected from cold and drafts.

Toiletry bag : Our matching toiletry bags are both spacious and practical, giving you space to store diapers, ointments and more.

Finally, take the season into account when packing your hospital bag. Summer and winter babies may need different things. If you are expecting your baby in the winter months, we recommend packing the bag with wool . Wool is soft, warm and temperature-regulating, so your baby will be kept warm without sweating. Wool clothes, a warm driving suit for the ride home, a winter blanket, and a hat and mittens are perfect for the little winter baby.

Even in the summer, wool can still be a good choice for your newborn summer baby, because newborns cannot regulate their own body temperature. Therefore, it is good to protect the little feet with socks , regardless of the season.

We hope our tips for packing your baby's hospital bag have been useful. Our changing bag is an ideal choice as a hospital bag. It combines design, functionality and quality, and we are sure that you will enjoy it in the hospital and in the postpartum period.

We wish you a wonderful birth experience and a fantastic start to life with your little one.
