Baby's Necessities - When should I begin?

Now is a good time to start! I’d say around 34-35 weeks have everything ready since you know your date already. Wash baby clothes with baby detergent and sun dry them. Hospital bag I’d pack by 36 weeks latest just in case. Some tips since you’re going for c-sect: bring a loose dress or nightgown (not pants, the waistband will kill you after surgery), long charging cable, straw cup so you can drink lying down, and slippers that are easy to slip on cos bending will be hard. Also bring your own maternity pads, the hospital ones are meh. Don’t overpack for baby tho, you really just need a going home outfit and mittens/booties. Hospital provides the rest!

Which hospital are you delivering at? You can refer to the hospital list given by the hospital! :) I started washing 1.5 months before my edd because I have too many baby clothes, swaddles cloth, bedsheet etc to wash. Need to split so many days because still got other household members clothes to wash as well 😅 If you’re using dryer then not much problem since it can dry faster. It’s always good to prepare early as there’s many other things to do too. You can slowly start preparing and packing now! :) Good luck!
