Becoming a mother is a beautiful journey — and as your due date approaches, packing your hospital bag becomes one of the most exciting (and slightly stressful!) tasks.
To help you prepare with ease, we’ve curated a detailed list of what to pack in your hospital bag — covering everything from maternity essentials to the tiniest newborn outfits.
1. Comfortable Maternity Clothing
Labor, delivery, and recovery require comfort above all. Pack:
2–3 cotton maternity nightgowns with front buttons (for nursing)
A soft cotton robe or kaftan
A going-home outfit (loose & breathable)
If you’re shopping for comfort-first cotton maternity clothes online, Coocuddle offers liquid cotton designs that are lightweight, stretchable, and made for postpartum ease.
2. Nursing Essentials
2–3 nursing bras
Nipple cream
Breast pads (disposable or reusable)
Maternity underwear or adult diapers
Tip: Pack everything in zipper pouches for quick access.
3. Baby Essentials
Newborn skin is sensitive — so choose soft, chemical-free clothing. Pack:
3–4 soft cotton baby clothes (rompers, jhablas, onesies)
1–2 receiving blankets
Baby mittens, socks, and caps
Cotton nappies or diapers
At Coocuddle, we craft soft cotton baby clothes with organic, breathable fabric to keep your little one snug and rash-free from Day 1.
4. Toiletries & Skincare (Mom & Baby)
Baby body wash and baby oil
Your own face wash, lip balm, moisturizer
Hair ties, toothbrush, mild soap
Avoid packing anything strongly scented — hospitals prefer fragrance-free zones.
5. Important Documents & Items
Hospital ID/Insurance papers
Pregnancy file & prescriptions
Phone charger & power bank
Snacks (granola bars, dry fruits)
6. Optional (But Helpful)
Warm shawl or blanket
Extra towels
Room slippers
Eye mask and earplugs

Packing your hospital bag 3–4 weeks before your due date gives you peace of mind. Prioritize comfort, safety, and organic choices — both for yourself and your baby.
Whether it’s your first child or third, choosing cotton maternity clothes online and soft cotton baby clothes ensures your journey starts gently and naturally.
