Hospital Bag Checklist during Pandemic
Packing a maternity hospital bag is always hectic and due to tiredness, sometimes we may forget to pack the essentials. Here’s a comprehensive checklist which I thought might be useful to those packing hospital bags. My suggestion is to start packing at around 35 weeks. Just the start is enough eventually you will end up adding all the essentials in coming days. All the mother’s essentials you can pack in a large luggage bag and baby’s items in a basket, this way it will be easy for you to segregate and manage. Toiletries you can keep in a toiletry bag for easy access.
