Needing some ideas on what to pack for your hospital bag for your baby's birth?
I over-packed a bit. The hospital already has a lot of items new parents worry about packing. Since I over-packed; it made things more stressful than it should have been carrying so many bags inside. I would suggest just one bag with some essentials like your ID card, birth plan (optional), your car seat installed, a robe, toothbrush, hair brush, phone charger, extra camera, outfit for baby or two, things to keep you entertained like a book and few snacks you would like.
There were quite a few products I used a ton as a new mommy; far more than other items I noticed.
Need some new mom and baby products?
Here is my list of 10 new mom and baby must-haves I suggest:
1. Burp Cloths (or get those receiving or thin blankets and double them as burp cloths; too!)
2. An infant Car Seat (or two if you have two vehicles and can afford two for convenience purposes)
I also got my installed by a car seat certified friend. Your local hospital or health department should be able to direct you to organizations or people who know how to install the car seats safely. Once my was installed correctly; I did not want to risk taking it in and out the car. So two car seats came in handy. 
3. A jogging stroller but also check out this site for pre-owned strollers and bassinets. I also loved my bassinet!
I tried a few great stroller brands such as Jeep but ended up like a jogging stroller for overall use and after trial and error over the years. I suggest getting a stroller that is just made for jogging too; I did not think I'd ever try jogging but it's better for me I think with going on trails, festivals and so on. A good stroller can last you even when your child is four for example. The airports, state fairs...it comes it handy for more than you'd think. At the mall; it was a hassle using strollers with tiny compartments at the bottom so get one that allows you to store perhaps a diaper bags and shopping bags. I also love strollers where I can have cup holders to hold a sippy cup and another beverage when we visit places like zoos. Having a spot to hold your phone and keys is great too.
4. Baby Swing
6. Diapers or if you want to opt for cloth-diapers.
7. Wipes
8. Gowns - I do not see the hype with onesies. After so many diaper changes; gowns were my best friend at the time.
9. Breast Pump but check with your doctor and insurance. A lot of mom's can get a prescription for one complimentary with their insurance carrier. Check before purchasing one.
10. Glider chair was my best friend during pregnancy especially or rocking my son to sleep as an infant. I also seen these online; which are portable rockers.
Congrats on your bundle of joy!
Certified Pre-owned Strollers.
