Baby's Necessities - When should I begin?

Hi, mommas! Am currently 32 weeks 5 days and will be going for elective C-sect most probably end of April or early May. Any advice when should I begin to wash baby's clothes and prepare hospital bag? Additional tips or hacks is welcome! 🤗 #askmommies

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!
