Got to say heads up to Spain, I didn't use much in my bag, everything was supplied by the hospital, I didn't even use the baby clothes I'd pack 'cos he was cacooned in some nice little blanket all the time.

I did send the OH out for food though as the hospital meals were beyond awful!!

I must add nipple cream and a wee notepad and pen to this list

Also, for hubby - paracetamol, spare top and toothbrush. I've also packed some crayons for when Katie comes.

I still need to get... big pants, toothpaste, conditioner, shower gel, nursing bras, slippers, notepad and paper. I got a ipod shuffle for Christmas so once it's up and runnin I'll be packing it too

I haven't packed any spare clothes so will have to manage with night wear etc until hubby gets home and back.

Perfume free deodorant. As the baby needs to get used to your smell. I had a feeling my deodorant might have put George off taking the breast, used fragrance free with Imo still no luck but worth a try. When i did work experience at a SCBU unit we were told we weren't allowed to wear any fragrance at all, beth xxxx

Just thinking about this now, haven't packed anything yet, I'm so disorganised! I do still have all of Logie's newborn clothes so I can take some of them but have nothing else! Bet I'll be overdue anyway if last time is anything to go by! xo
