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

Gave birth in Sept 2023 in MA. They do provide pillow and thin blankets for daddy. If your husband doesn’t take to the cold well, can bring along a blanket so it’s more comfy. My hubby slept pretty well with whatever hosp provided. And the meals selections are pretty good too. Oh. You might want to bring snacks cause they won’t provide food for daddy when you’re in the delivery suite. So I got to eat but my hubs needed to go downstairs to buy his meals when I was still in labour in the delivery suite. There isn’t much food options to buy in MA. All the best!
