How many bags to the hospital?

[Wenchy]

A lot of lists have mentioned cell phone chargers. That's the nice thing about cell phones these days is they can do so much. I can notify people (or make my husband do it) or read a book or have some music on there.

I really do have a packing problem (which I am going to have to fix soon or else there won't be room for Baby on any of our trips). Part of me thinks I'll probably have a must haves bag that goes in with me. And then I'll have a bag of things I might like, that can stay in the car unless I need it.

I feel old now. I paid $5/day for phone service and TV. I think I had a cell but it was not allowed in the hospital.

I would suggest a loose fitting dress and never let them put the hospital gown on you.

The kit they gave me had the tubing, some bottles and the breast cone things that all connect into the regular Medela pumps. It also came with the hand pump portion that attaches into the breast cone thingie.



That actually might be helpful! Positioning can sometimes be tricksy, especially when you're first starting out. I had to hunch forward quite a bit, having a boppy (or some other FIRM pillow) to raise the baby up would probably save your back!

I like the word "tricksy"

Save it for your next MPD... I like it too...
