When preparing your hospital bag, it’s best to pack newborn essentials such as soft cotton onesies, a swaddle or muslin wrap, nappies, wipes, mittens, socks, and a cosy blanket. Don’t forget a hat and an extra change of clothes for going home. At The Baby Gift Company, many of our newborn hampers include these must-haves, making them a thoughtful and practical gift choice for new parents.
A well-stocked baby nappy bag makes outings with a newborn much easier. Parents often include nappies, baby wipes, a changing mat, spare baby clothes, bottles, bibs, and a soft toy or pacifier. Our curated baby gift hampers feature many of these everyday items, helping new parents stay organised on the go.
You can buy age appropriate outfits, whether it be newborn clothes for now or bigger sizes for the cooler months ahead. Creating your own hamper allows you to be creative by mixing and matching products of the same colour or theme. You can also choose eco-friendly baby clothes made from sustainable materials that are kind for his skin and better for the environment.
Packing a hospital bag early is essential for expecting parents to ensure a stress-free and smooth experience when the time comes to have a baby. It’s best to have it packed by week 36-37, or earlier if you’re at risk for preterm labor. Keep it in an easy-to-reach spot or in the car so you’re ready to go at a moment’s notice.
Here are some key reasons why:
1. Unexpected Early Labor
Babies don’t always arrive exactly on their due date. Labor can start earlier than expected, so having your hospital bag packed by week 36-37 ensures you’re prepared in case of an early arrival.
2. Reduces Last-Minute Stress
Rushing to pack while in labor can be overwhelming and lead to forgetting essential items. Preparing ahead of time allows you to focus on the birth experience instead of scrambling for necessities.
3. Ensures Comfort During Hospital Stay
Hospitals provide basic necessities, but having your own comfortable clothes, toiletries, snacks, and personal items can make your stay more pleasant and feel more like home.
4. Helps Your Partner or Support Person
If you go into labor unexpectedly, your partner or support person won’t have to guess what you need or rush home to gather items. A pre-packed bag allows them to focus on supporting you.
5. Essential Documents & Birth Plan Readiness
Keeping your ID, insurance information, medical records, and birth plan in the hospital bag ensures quick and smooth check-in when you arrive.
6. Ensures Baby’s First Outfit & Essentials Are Ready
Packing newborn essentials like onesies, blankets, nappies, and a car seat means your little one has everything they need to go home safely and comfortably.
The most popular newborn gifts are both practical and memorable. Timeless options include organic baby clothing, soft toys, swaddles, milestone books, skincare products, and personalised keepsakes.
