Question about packing hospital bag and Mt Alvernia hospital

Hi everyone, currently 38w and just finished packing my hospital bag... some people have advised to pack snacks (going for natural delivery) and to bring along breast pump... Qn is... Will I even have time to snack? Also, heard that first day milk supply will not be much, how to pump? I'm wondering if I'd need to bring along the milk bottles, bottle soaps etc to keep it all clean during the hospital stay... Separately, has anyone stayed in Mt A recently? Have they changed the sofa for dads to something more comfortable and should we bring along blanket for daddy? Please advise... #help #advice #hospitalbag #baby #mummy

no need to bring pumps. First few days the milk supply won't kick in much yet. just need to massage and the hosp nurses will guide. when you reach home 2 3 days later, then your milk supply boost and breast gets engorged. snacks can just buy a bit for husb. haha cos when you're admitted etc, cannot consume food anymore. just a little water. that's it. you need to get ready for the push. before you're discharged, just get a nurse to feed your baby. Just nice the trip home, baby will be full and sleep throughout. you can do this :)
