WHAT’S IN MY HOSPITAL BAG? | Pack With Me For Labor, Delivery & Baby (Minimalist Edition)

And we’re BACK! Hope you enjoy this look at what I packed to bring to the hospital for my first baby (who’s now earth side)! 🤍 Want to know what changes I’d make to this list now that I’ve had my baby? Make sure you’re following me over on Instagram (@ashlynneeaton) because I’m going to unpack what I’d do differently for next time. 😘
oooh baby is here!?! Congratulations, so looking forward to hearing all about it.
OMW, just found your insta. Oliver is gorgeous. So much love for you all x
congrats and hope everyone is healthy and doing well
Now I think the workmanship of the fakes is better than the genuine ones *condup*
Love that I’m not the only one moving away from social media 🤣❤️
Please do another video of what you actually used and what you wish you'd brought (if anything)!
Great idea! Think I’m going to share this on my stories on Instagram 🤍
@@AshlynneEatonI don’t use instagram so please make a KZhead video too.
People buy *condup* super fakes because the quality is better than the real thing... Crazy prices and terrible quality lately
I also Don't have an Instagram and would love a video or shorts format video of this! :)
Would love that video idea as well :)
I know this is too late to be applicable but for anyone reading-- Hospital beds typically have a set of outlets underneath the foot of the bed, it probably varies but ask the nurse. A 6ft cord is still a good idea, but if you can plug it into the bed it's easy to wrap around the bedrail with the trail of the cord along the edge. Hope that makes sense.
Yes to the Frida perry bottle! I'm also so curious to know your birth story 🎉
I can't relate in no way to being an expecting mom or anywhere around babies, but I must say I missed you so much! I love your videos just for the friendly atmosphere, positivity, your voice and the calming effect they have on me even when the content is not so relevant to me personally 😂 Congratulations 🎉❤👏
Aww you’re so sweet!! And there will definitely be some more “normal” content coming soon too 🥰🤍
@@AshlynneEaton oh please don't worry - I genuinely enjoyed your maternity thrift-haul, nursery makeover and other baby-related videos, I admire how you make everything seem so effortless just calmly talking about it 🩷
Congratulations Ashynne!! I love your content ❤
Things have changed so much since I had my kids. Good to see this video. I watch a lot of KZhead videos where they are packing luggage. Like they are going on a 2 week European vacation. 99% of the stuff they won't need or use. My kids are 31 & 27. We literally wore a hospital gown while we were in the hospital. The whole stay. You didn't get dressed. You brought a robe and slippers ( I brought flip flops) for when you had guests or were walking. And a comfy outfit to wear back home. Our babies wore a little hospital T-shirt and stayed wrapped in a hospital blanket. We brought 1 going home outfit for our babies. The hospital provided everything we needed while in the hospital. Including diapers & minimal toiletries. The hospital always gave care packages. If we had a normal delivery we stayed 48 hours. If you or baby had any issues before or after delivery you stayed at least 4 nights. Congrats on baby boy!
Being prepared is a valuable idea .
Wishing your family all the best ❤
Congratulations on ur pregnancy good luck
Congratulations ❤🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awee I’m so happy for you. I haven’t been here in a while so this was a happy surprise to see 🥰 I hope you have a safe and wonderful delivery.
So happy for you! I’m due any day now with baby #3! I’m keeping it so light this time since I know what I actually use and we only live 15 min from the hospital. Basically just 1 outfit to wear home, nursing bra, adult diapers, toiletries, shower shoes, and chargers. Of course 2 outfits for baby and my nursing pillow.
Hi Ashlynne happy Friday afternoon and happy weekend and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you and I enjoy your channel
Good luck! smart to bring the pacifier. most hospitals give you samples of formula and diapers and wipes
I have that exact sound machine, of of the best purchases I've ever made for baby! I dont even own one that plugs in. This is my baby's only sound machine, she's 18 months now. That and her blanket are her two comfort items wherever we go, so so so handy!
Super excited for you 😊 my husband & I have been trying for awhile… please send some baby dust our way! 🙏🏼🤍
Aww thank you! And absolutely sending love and prayers your way. I know the waiting can be so hard. 🤍🤍
Baby dust ✨✨✨✨
Thank you both so much 🥹🫶🏼🤍
Something I added for my bag are trampoline socks. They are great anti slip.
Oh interesting! I had never even heard of those but they look cool!
Congrats on your new son Ashlynne! 😊👍❤️
Aww thank you!!
Congratulations!!
Thank you!!
I wish I had one of those Frida bottles for after birth care. I gave birth to my son almost 17 years ago, 😭😭😭, and there are several things that are available now for helping the healing process that I wish were available back then. Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy! ❤
Having gone through the postpartum healing process, I can definitely say they are incredible! My #1 postpartum favorite for sure!!
Your hair grows so quickly. It's not long ago that you cut it so short❤
Congratulations! Adore the sweet pics on IG.
Ashlynne, I’m now in the Philippines for my one month vacation trip!❤️🇵🇭
That’s so exciting! Hope you enjoy it!
if you are getting an epidural I'd recommend grippy socks. You get pretty bad shakes as it wears off, so having the grips just to brace yourself a little better help a lot. Also I'd recommend brining nipple shields, and possibly a breast pump in case you need to pump for baby.
The shakes happen bc of hormones. I’ve never had an epidural and always get really bad shakes
The way people act like you NEED grippy socks is insane. 🤣 Never once did my hospital be like “You have to wear these special grippy socks.” Like I have hardwood at home, I think I’ll be okay on those hospital floors.
Haha with you! Definitely got by just fine with regular socks 😅 But my hospital even provided some grippy ones (that I didn’t end up using) so wouldn’t have even been an issue!
My only suggestion is ADJUSTABLE slip on shoes (I took Birkenstocks and had to adjust them much larger immediately post partum because my feet were so swollen! - didn’t have that problem during pregnancy)
I don’t see the wet bag that you used for baby linked in the description 😢 it’s so cute !!! Any link available ???
Hey!! Yes! Just forgot to include it 😘 Here you go: amzn.to/3QBRRSD
@@AshlynneEaton thank you so much ☺️ Can’t wait for all the new content coming. Sending lots of love to your and your little family ❤️
Lovely 😊😅🎉😂❤
Thank you!!
Hi
Hi!!
Have you considered bringing slippers. They will give you slipper socks in the hospital. But just in case it is a little cooler in the hospital, the slippers will keep your feet off of the floor and for walking around in the bathroom. Maybe pick up an inexpensive pair to have while you're in the hospital...❤
I decided to wear mules to the hospital that I could slip on whenever I needed to use the restroom or move around. So I kind of got the benefits of a shoe and slipper in one 🤍🤍
I’m curious to know how much of all these did you actually used 😊 Because I packed what I thought was a minimal pack and ended using nothing because hospital gave me everything including baby clothes 😂
Actually ended up using almost all of it! Definitely used a lot of the hospital’s supplies too though 🥰
Hello. I really like your hair color? Is it your natural color or do you dye your hair?
It’s natural 🤍
@@AshlynneEaton Thanks for answering! I guess you don't have any gray hair.
@@txiki5009 shes not old
@@anitoee No she’s not but sometimes young people also have gray hair.
OMG I love you! Thank you for being so real! I'm so glad I found your wonderful videos, you're an amazing person *condup*
I remember saving up to buy a Chanel bag a few years ago when I already had the money to buy it. I gave up because I couldn't justify buying the bag at this price. Instead, I used the money to buy our second home. This is a better investment than a bag. Also, it’s great that I now have a *condup* Chanel bag.
you might want loose sweat pants over leggings, what is everyone's else's thoughts about sweats over leggings right after giving birth
Ha ha we brought nothing but an outfit for the baby - All was fine the hospital provided everything we needed
Mi neniam estis seniluziigita kun bbkbags bags tote. ?iufoje kiam mi uzas mansakon, mi sentas, ke mi posedas arta?on.
Its going to be a blur
You going for a month??? Lol
