Momma of 4 here; Advice, you won't get your actual milk supply until a few days after. They get the liquid gold at first aka colostrum. You definitely won't need the pump but of course completely up to you ❤❤. No judgement at all ❤. Disposable diapers from Frieda are amazing!!! The peri bottle from Frieda mom is amazing. Also just the whole Frieda mom vaginal after care must have! The cooling sensation from the pads is phenomenal. You absolutely won't need any of the hair tools other than a brush BUT once again up to you 🤗. They supply everything you need for baby take her blanket, swaddle and outfit for pics ❤❤. But diapers and wipes are not needed at all. And you get to take all the diapers and wipes in y'all's room 😊
And just in case take the formula they supply if it's something you end up giving her. And if you can exclusively breastfeed hats off to you momma!!! Just something to keep in mind they do feed a lot more when breastfed. Just so you know 😊 congratulations again 🎉❤
If the baby ended up in the nicu she could pump colostrum for it.
It is also helpful to use the pump and ask questions if you have any, with the lactation consultant!
This! I just had my little girl she’s 8 weeks today. Trust me when I say, get the Frida mom postpartum set. The Frida peri bottle is top notch and so much better than the one the hospital provides. It also comes with these phenomenal Cotton undies and those cooling pads are EVERYTHING after birth. I bought more pads and undies separate for the weeks after birth as well. I used both until 6 weeks after. I needed everything in it, truly. Also, get the frida mom belly band. And the hospital provides a pump and shows you how to use it. It’s the BEST pump! Use it if you have enough milk supply. You can also call the hospital and ask what they will supply for labor and postpartum when it comes to things for you and baby. When it comes to pillow and blanket from home, bring something you don’t mind getting dirty - trust me. Congratulations girl, praying for you and babygirl to have a blessed labor and hospital experience 💜✨
I’m a momma of 3 (pregnant with number 4) and I didn’t use any of the Frieda Mom or Frieda Baby products. I found cheaper alternatives or just used what my hospital provided (tucks and dermoplast). Even the Frieda Mom peri bottle was a bust for me. My older kids used it as a toy instead. Haha!
Congratulations silent follower here. Not a mom, but I’ve heard people suggest to bring a document folder to put all the documents you get at the hospital. That way it’s all in one spot. You can focus on baby and not be worried about losing important paperwork. Congrats again!
Ohh I’ve never seen this suggestion but that is a GREAT idea!
God bless and Prayers!!!❤️❤️❤️
Highly recommend bringing an extra long charger for both of you! Also, and a L&D nurse, I typically advise against wearing your own gown for labor because 1. It’s going to get suuuuper dirty during delivery and then your stuck putting that in your bag for 2-3 days before you take it home to wash 😬 and 2. IF you were to need an emergency c-section for some reason, the metal buttons are a burn risk due to the instruments we use in the OR, and getting that gown off is just one more step to complete in an emergency situation that adds time to us getting your baby out safely and quickly! 🥰
Good advice. I never knew snaps were a burn risk if c-section were to happen.
I second this. Just wear the hospital provided gown for L&D and wear whatever you want after that. Metal snaps are a nuisance in any hospital setting, not recommended. 😊 This baby girl will be one loved baby girl.
As a mama to 5 I didn’t really take much when I went to the hospital with 4 of them and my 5th I had at home. One thing I will tell you is that if you wanna take it then take it ❤ there is nothing wrong with having extra. In worlds of my father inlaw “ I would rather be looking at it then for it “ ❤❤
3rd time mama pregnant with our 3rd and I think you did an awesome job packing! Even with this being my 3rd time I’m bringing almost all the same stuff bc I like to have options and honestly you never know what kind of baby your baby will be! 1 thing I will say is you will definitely do alot of skin to skin with baby so when you were saying you don’t know what to expect as far as dressing her just expect lots of skin to skin and bringing your breast pump is great for a first time mom bc they can teach you have to use it and also make sure the flange fits your nips perfectly lol but other than that the hospital will provide all your healing essentials like demaplast, tucks pads etc and then you’ll want those at home as well so you’re double stocked even though you can bring everything from the hospital home! So excited for you guys🩷🩷🩷
Can’t believe the time is almost here been watching since the announcement. So excited for you guys keeping you in my thoughts & prayers for easy delivery & speedy recovery, & most important healthy baby girl. ❤
You guys are going to be the best parents! I am so excited for y’all. ❤
SO excited for you!! I can’t believe you’re already 36 weeks, she’ll be here super duper soon!!🩷🥰
so so so excited for you two!! baby girl is very blessed.
Baby girl is so blessed to have y’all as parents! I can’t imagine how beyond excited you guys are because I am and it’s not even my baby😂 can’t wait to see what she looks like and her name! Something’s telling me she’s gonna look more like Soph and shock everyone. Great job on packing. You seem so prepared. Since you are extra, maybe Desitin if you don’t already have that? And little socks and mittens for her? Love y’all and your videos!
I’m so excited for the baby to come I love your videos ur an inspiration to me and probably a lot of other people love you 🥰
I love it!! Definitely supportive of being as prepared as possible, you never know what might help you feel better always feels great to be prepared!!
So excited for you!! Praying for yall and baby girl!! 🩷🤍
Love that you’re bringing all the things!! So cute!! I have 4 babies and you would have thought I was a first time mom every single time I went in to deliver 😂 I even brought a foldable wagon to carry all my bags for my last baby 😂
God bless and Prayers!!!❤️❤️❤️
If you’re having a natural birth, I definitely recommend dermoplast, ice pads, and tucks witch hazel pads!
YES
I’m so happy that my hospital provides all of this for me😩
Cards to hand write to your nurses go a long way for them ❤
Mama of 2! Bring all the things if it helps you feel the peace you need going into this moment. I recommend bringing a folder of some sort to put all documents in to keep them safe and all in one place, socks, hats, baby mittens because they will want to be as warm as possible! Also, something that I didn’t know my first time but is quality info is to be careful wearing anything scented because baby girl can be sensitive to the scents & also didn’t know that babies can be allergic to flowers so I asked everyone to wait to send any floral arrangements lol congratulations & good luck!
You are gonna be the best parents ever .Love you guys so much.I also can't wait for the labor and delivery vlog.
Cotton mittens for baby girl’s sweet little hands. A comfy pillow and soft blanket/ dressing gown from home for yourself. Oftentimes mums in labour can get the shivers and it’s great if you have something soft to wrap yourself up in. It makes you feel comforted too ❤❤❤❤
I’m so excited for you all!! You did great on packaging everything! ❤ y’all! You and Taylor are sweethearts can’t wait to see little princess
ahhh i’m so so excited for y’all!
binkis! i think they give you some but you might want your own❤❤ so excited for babygirl
So excited for y’all! It feels like just yesterday we were waiting for the wedding video!
Looks great! Definitely the fan and the white noise were the 2 things I wish I had with my first. During labor you can get hot flashes and the fan is 10/10. We had to pull up RUclips videos of white noise on our phones and it helped a TON.
You won’t stop staring at baby but try to get some rest. Also don’t stress about milk production in the hospital just latch and your body will do the rest ♥️. You got this!!
I’m so happy for you guys! You will be awesome parents! I can’t wait to see the baby! She will be beatiful!
frida mom postpartum recovery essentials kit is amazinggggg after you deliver! it comes with witch hazel, and a healing foam, ice pads, mesh panties that are way better than the ones the hospital gives, and hospital socks, bunch of nice stuff when you’re recovering from delivery!
Love you guys! So excited for you. Bring a crib wedge. This was something i wished i had in the hospital for baby. Postpartum for vaginal delivery take some tucks pads because you will get hemorrhoids, sorry for being blunt, lol ... and some cooling pads for "down there". Diapers wipes snd bottles are all supplied by the hospital. Love the TikTok you referenced, so true, lol.... best wishes for a safe and easy delivery with a healthy baby girl and momma ❤️
I love you Taylor and Soph!! u guys are the kindest people ever 🤍🤍🤍
Chapstick!! My lips were chapped so terribly during labor … I was glad I packed it❤️ good luck! Praying for a safe delivery for you🙏🏻❤️
You may want to bring a set of headphones or a speaker to listen to some Christian music and or claming music 🎶 and I am a scent person so I would bring a room or pillow spray and or Essential oils to make it feel more like home. Maybe even start spraying it at home before you get to the hospital. So you get used to it and it's calming.❤ love you guys soooo much you are going to do great x lo e for Australia 🇦🇺
Bring whatever makes you feel prepared!! I think everyone needs to learn what they need on their own 🥰
I’m so excited for you guys!🤍
I love that you're prepared❤anything to make mama happy💗
I am so excited about y'all. Y'all are going to be the best parents!!
Definitely make sure you have a good sized snack bag!! You get very hungry in the hospital-especially at night during feedings!
You have done an awesome job of packing.. what ever you feel you need or want to pack go for it... I see you are excited... Can't wait to see your beautiful baby girl 💞
I know you have some monogrammed items a friend of mine ordered the cutest swaddling blanket with her baby’s name on it with a matching little hat it made the cutest pictures … ❤ I love everything that you’re bringing to the hospital for baby girl. Think about the first time you all go away for vacation how much stuff you’re going to be packing. Lol!! Any time we went anywhere we had so much stuff but I was like you, I would rather have too much than not have something and wish I would have brought it. I can’t believe she is almost here.❤❤❤❤
Hey Sophia
I'm a mom of 2 pretty girlies. You're doing an amazing job of making sure you are prepared. It's so precious to watch you and Taylor prepare. It brings back such sweet memories to me. The only thing that I can think of that you may need is a pillow or something soft to sit on for the ride home. You'll more than likely not need a second one, but in the event that there is a c section, a second pillow for your tummy so the seat belt isn't up again at you. Those things can stay in the car until the drive home, but it sure does help. I had both of my girls by c section. Obviously natural is good, but I just want you to know that if a c section needs to happen it's not as scary as you probably think. Just give yourself grace no matter what and remember to allow yourself to be cared for as well. Don't try to be a super woman. Take things slow and easy. Grace is a must for all moms and dads of every stage. Y'all have got this!!! God's hand is on the both of you and baby girl.💕💖💝💕💖💝💕💖💝💕💖💝💕💖💝
It's so cute that you think the rucksake might be to much 😂😂😂😂 love everything you've packed you can never have enough ❤ so excited for her to be here,use are gonna make the best parents 💖
I'd suggest you bring the backpack even if you leave it in the car. When I had my babies whenever people came to visit they brought gifts and having an extra bag to bring the gifts home in was SO helpful!! Congratulations on baby girls upcoming arrival, good luck to you all!!! ❤🙏🏻💖
ETA: also a nightlight/battery lamp was so helpful for me for the night feeds so I didn't have to turn on the bright room lights (and for the nurses too who visit like every hour) so my hubs and/or baby didn't wake up so much
First time mama here! I had my baby boy in August! Some things I wish I packed was my own swaddles! Hospital swaddles are not great and they don’t stay wrapped & snuggly! Also onesies or gowns with hand covers! I didn’t pack any for my son and it was awful because I was so worried about him scratching his face! For myself I loved having my pregnancy pillow and also dry shampoo for a quick way to freshen up!!🩵 Praying for you all!!!
So excited for you both! My one add is a haaka!! you’ll slowly collect that liquid gold while your milk comes in and you’re feeding! and if hopefully not but any latching issues you can actually siringe feed little by little of what you collected!! 🤍 you’re almost at the finish line momma! praying for a healthy baby girl and safe delivery for you!
Hi guys, You guys are the cutest couple and I have loved watching you over the years. Wish you guys the best and may god bless you with good luck today and always 😊
Ahhhhh Omg Im so early!!!❤❤❤❤
I am so excited for your little princess to come!! I literally can't wait❤
Love you so much Taylor and Soph❤
You guys are the best❤
I wish I could meet you guys one day❤
So excited!! You are so close! I packed starburst’s with my second labor. I suggest something that will keep your mouth moist. Breathing really dries your mouth out and you my want something other than ice. You are really prepared and a lot have said pretty much what I would have suggested Lol! I wish you all the best. 😊
I am currently 21 and just had my first baby! I just wanted to say that you should bring anything that make you comfortable! I think you pack everything you will need! If I have any advice it would just to relax and enjoy the moment as much as possible because it will go by so fast! Also don’t be afraid to ask questions about delivery or the baby! That is what they are there for! It is the most magical moment of your life! I already know the Spirit of God will flood that room and it’s going to be a peaceful delivery. Every baby is a blessing and this is God way of blessing us!
Mama of 3 here and you did so good!! I’d definitely rather have some extra things than not enough ☺️ always nice to have some extra clothes for you as well! I had to change my pjs after birth cause they got some blood on them!
One thing I’d say to bring is an extra long charger for your phone! To reach the outlet.
So excited for you Soph!! You’ll be an amazing mama 🥰💖
Thanks for sharing can’t wait to see baby watts ❤
Yall are going to be the best parents I am already picturing Taylor walking out the hospital carrying her car seat
Not a mama but as a babysitter of a newborn, I love having 2-3 burp cloths that are soft!😊 truly I will be the same way when I have a baby! packed and prepped is best for us anxious gals! Love it! Better to have what you want than wish you brought more! 🤍
I used a hand pump the second time and the hospital gave it to me. First baby I breast fed at the hospital. You definitely won't be thinking about fixing your hair and makeup. You won't want to get up at all. You will be soaking in all the loves. Shower definitely feels great the next day!! The Freida postpartum care kit is a must!! Those popsicles for your undies are Lifesavers!! Also dermaplast if you have her vaginally!!
They do provide a lot of the essentials in the hospital, but I totally get how you want to be prepared. And, that extra backpack will be perfect for all the things you can take home with you 🤗
Gosh, I'm 64 what good advice could I give in today's time. I say take the things you love. It's always nice to have them. I found in my time the hospital gowns came in really handy the first day or 2 so you don't mess up your clothes. Sorry no easy way to say it. There are alot more luxuries today so having extra in case items can certainly be a plus. Congratulations and best wishes on the soon coming of your little bundle.
I was so glad to see you bring the Bobby pillow. I wish I brought mine. I'm trying for my second amd I definitely will bring it this time around
praying for a safe delivery!!! so soon!!
your fan will be a lifesaver!! i had a water birth and was SO sweaty & hot i honestly couldn’t have survived w/o it lol. i recommend you add a small portable wireless night light! i got mine on amazon. it was great at the hospital for night changes and feedings. my pp room did not have dimmable lights so it was so freakin bright. i still use it now at home for night feedings/changes. fridamom disposable undies are amazing. i used the mommy’s bliss hemorrhoid wipes- they are regular sizes wipes but are basically tucks. they were nice for the first poop after birth 🥲 highly recommend bringing or at least having stool softeners at home!
Hii! Momma of two! One thing that someone else told me to bring & was really helpful was some coconut oil. The baby’s first poos actually harden & can harden on their butt, when wiping it can hurt their little bums. If you put some coconut oil on their butts, the poop doesn’t harden on them & is easy to wipe off. I know it’s gross but it just made me feel so much better because my babies were more comfortable!! 10/10 recommend. Good luck! You got this!
Also, the nail file is great to have. My baby came out with longer nails & the hospital refused to cut them because it’s a liability so I was stressed the whole time I was there with him cutting his face!
Your doing amazing your so prepared and I love you it. I definitely would recommend chapstick and if your wanting a heating pad. Mine helped me bare the contractions and helped with the chills from labor. Hair ties too. So excited for you guys.
So excited for you two you both are going to be good parents. Baby girl will be here before you know it. Love you guys God Bless you and your family.
Definitely pack something to do! A book, game, something. Sometimes labor can take a long time so its good for that but also when they take baby for testing or if baby is sleeping and you guys are just hanging out!
I preferred depend diapers over pads the first two weeks pp. you will want some for the hospital so much easier then using pads especially when you are sore. I was absolutely so glad I packed them!
I’ll only give one tidbit of advice, which I learned the hard way the first time. If you can hold off on using any bottles or pacifiers the first few weeks, it could help her nursing incredibly. My oldest decided she didn’t want to nurse after being given a bottle because the bottle was easier, so we changed it up the second time and didn’t have that issue. I pray for you all the best! 🥰😘
So happy for both of you!
You’re doing great! Highly recommend chapstick or something like that you like, power bank comes in handy, sometimes outlets are hard to reach. Yes don’t forget pillows and blankets, probably joggers and a hoodie for Taylor cause guys tend to get chilled. Stanley is essential! Hope that helps and prayers for you all!!!
Love you guys soo much!!
It’s getting closer! Can’t wait! Can you share a link of the bag you’re using for Taylor? I may need one for me lol
Loose dollars and change for vending machines. A few diapers in her bag for trip home. If not doing any type of nurses gifts (totally normal and fine) but have heard pack a blank set of thank you cards. That a simple handwritten note goes along way. A “wet” bag for your dirty laundry.
I had my baby 3 weeks ago.
My most loved item was a sleeping mask!! 10/10 recommend bringing that
Maternity pads and lip balms a must also some snacks and drinks for you and tay xx
I
Know this is baby number one but it's excited to see baby number 2 and stay tuned to your channels. Oh boy here we go
Mom of 2 here and my second was a girl and i did the ziplock bag outfits as well! Lol. Eveything you packed seems reasonoble to me! Sounds like everything i brought or wish i would have brought except for the breast pump. Prayers for a safe and healthy delivery 🙏❤ ❤️ ❤
I just had my 3rd baby 2 months ago and we packed to much too im the same way. Bring some food too for snacks when the kitchen is closed and your hungry after feeding baby in the middle of the night. Remember the first 48 hours is hard.
I said snacks too. My baby was born at 2am and nothing was open until breakfast. I was SO GLAD I had brought some granola bars and bananas in my bag ❤
Christmas baby girl 🎉❤ so exciting 😊
Love the video.... I have two babies and the best thing I ever did when I had my second was wearing depends diapers. They were so comfortable and I felt more secure. Another thing that they did not tell me when I was a first time mom, is that the babies will possibly spit up a lot of junk so do not be scared of that. Most bassinet things at the hospital incline so if yours does, please do it!
Not sure if you mentioned this but chapstick!!! It may seem unnecessary but honestly I forgot it the first time I was in labor and regretted it lol with all the breathing you do it’s really nice to have! Also, I feel like so many people told me not to overpack so I didn’t and I regretted that too.. I’d rather be over prepared and have everything I need rather than stressing out like I did last time cause I didn’t have certain things. I’m 39 weeks pregnant and bringing more with me this time! Goodluck with your labor, praying everything goes well for you and baby ❤️❤️
So excited!! Don’t know if you have it, but stuff to wash your hair. Many of my friends have been pregnant and have always said they wish they could wash there hair.
So exciting! Definitely need a link to the pj dresses
Just had my first baby this past august 🥰 I found the lanolin nipple cream too thick and hard to use for breastfeeding- the earth momma brand was WAY more gentle as a first time breast feeding mama. Otherwise, everything is amazing!! So excited for y’all 😍
Mom of 3 here! One thing I always used in the hospital was some zip up newborn pajamas!!!!
I’m 37 weeks and this video is so helpful. Thank you!
We brought little gifts for the staff that helped us during my labor and delivery! There’s plenty of adorable ideas to choose from and they greatly appreciated it.
I also packed a premie outfit and a 0-3 month outfit. You never know what size your baby will be and sometimes NB doesn’t fit.
My first baby ended up needing premie and my second fit the NB, but my friend’s baby came out needing a 0-3month!
Like you, I always say “I’d rather overpack than under pack”
Praying for a safe and healthy delivery of that precious baby girl 🤍🩷
Also want to add that “water wipes” are great for meconium!
We used those in the first few days and loved them.
Earth mama perineal spray is amazing if you tear and/or have hemorrhoids from pushing! Also, zippered onesies are so much nicer than buttons bc they are just so much less work than matching up the buttons.
3 time mom! I brought a reusable bag like from Marshall’s so it’s foldable because you usually leave with lots of stuff the hospital gives you. Also hand lotion, chapstick, and a blanket and pillow for Taylor!
Also my nurse told me to run the ice packs that they give you under water really quick(just swipe in under) & it was a GAME CHANGER!!! It made them so much more cold which is a MUST at first!!!💓💓
Sophia your so pretty!!!!❤❤
So excited for ya'll. I am new to your channel!
Chapstick
Pony tails
We kept baby dressed in the hospital for temp purposes. We went through a lot of bamboo sleepers in that first 24 hours. Probably 4 different ones from learning to eat (messy) and diaper changes where she peed everywhere. We also took some copper pearl swaddles and even the nurses commented how you could get them so much tighter and it was really nice to have them.
Mommy of 3 here. Always keep in mind that you could need a c section. Definitely bring adult diapers, was the best thing I brought!! Bringing your own undies is great because hospital undies SUCK. bring your own bedding if you want a comfy pillow and blanket. A must have for me was a fan! I was dying sweating. And a little sound machine. Good luck hun.
I would definitely bring disposable diapers! They were a life saver and kept everything tucked in so well! Also I would bring a tube of aquaphor. It will make getting off that first, sticky miconium baby poop so much easier! You look prepared and ready to go - you got this mama!
Yes!! The best thing I packed was a pack of depends! so comfy after birth!
I am so excited for you!! I am also a first time mom and just delivered in October! I would buy the Depends disposable underwear and bring them to the hospital! The underwear and LARGE pad combo at the hospital is so uncomfortable. They are also wonderful to use when you get home from the hospital as you will continue to bleed.
Wishing you all the best!!!❤❤
Me too soph. I am always wanting to be prepared than unprepared. 😊
If you're concerned about wrinkles, try Downy Wrinkle Release spray. Just mist, stretch out the fabric & smooth out the wrinkles with your hands, then hang to dry. I think it's well worth it to bring the pump to talk over with the lactation consultant, as new devices can be tricky. You're getting closer! How exciting 🥰 I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well, as does your delivery & after too.
Definitely bring the pump with you. I didn’t need it with my first, but with my second he was a month early and had trouble latching. My mom was able to bring my pump to me since we had a 3 day hospital stay and I was able to get my milk supply going without a successful latch from baby.
Lavender epsom salt (more soothing), lavender pillow mist and ice pads were my lifesavers
I’d check with your hospital with what they provides! Mine provided so much. I’d pack more outfits for mom and dad in case you’re there longer than expected
So excited for your guys🎉
She reminds me of a nanny when you wake up and say good morning. Everybody and she's so excited or at preschool teacher. That's happy all the time she must be from the suburbs or something😂😂
I’m so excited for you. Extra things to pack: burp cloths, swaddles, dark coloured comfy nighties pjs and underwear. Lots of think over night sanitary pads. Otherwise you seem to have everything you need. The pillow will also come in very handy. Xxx
I’m so happy for y’all I’m currently 6 weeks 4 days with baby #2 💖💙
Mom of 3 here ,Not sure if youve been given this advice yet ( but this is the best advice i was ever given having to do with the hosptial)
There will be a.drawer full of wipes,diapers and burp rags my advice, take it all!! Hosptials are stocked up on baby supplies they re stock after each mom. When j delivered my first baby the nurses told me to stock up and take it all😂
Also if you need more pads/recovery supplies just ask! Most nurses are happy to grab you whatever you need
I am so excited for you and this exciting time! Having kids are a beautiful crazy journey
love y'all so much I am wishing you all the best God Bless .
