What's in a maternity bag?

For expectant mothers, having no experience in giving birth is indeed a particularly tricky problem. Not only do they have to prepare some items for their own delivery, but they also have to prepare some items for their babies, so that when the babies are born, they can also have a good growth environment. Let us now understand what is included in the delivery bag for pregnant women.

1. It is recommended to use brown bottles (2-3 bottles). I use them at home. They have air guide tubes to prevent flatulence. There are three sizes of pacifiers and bottles. Our child is two years old and we are still using them. The quality is very good and the price is right. I bought the one that comes with three for 150 yuan. They are all larger because you feed him with your hands when he is young, and the size of the pacifier is fixed. A larger bottle will not have to be replaced in the future, haha.

Feed water, medicine, and milk. If you are breastfeeding, 2 are enough. Note: 1) You cannot feed your baby with a bottle at the beginning, for fear that he will get used to the bottle and stop drinking your milk. Because feeding with a bottle saves effort while breastfeeding requires effort. I've never heard of this: using a bottle saves effort while breastfeeding. This sentence, that's what it means. 2) When the baby is just born, the milk must be diluted, and remember to feed him with a spoon before eating breast milk. Otherwise, once you start using a bottle, you will stop drinking breast milk.

2. Baby bowl and spoon (1 set). Buy the kind that is resistant to high temperatures and can be boiled in a pot for sterilization. It is necessary to use water or milk powder when feeding the baby in the first two days after birth when the milk has not yet come out. It will also be useful when the baby is 4 months old and drinking rice milk.

3. Bottle and nipple brush: 1 set. But I have worn out several sets, haha. If you buy Brown's bottle, buy the one that comes with a set, which has two small brushes inside.

4. 2-3 feeding towels. The soft cotton fabric will not easily hurt the baby's face.

5. 2-5 bibs to prevent your baby from getting his clothes dirty or wet when drinking milk or water. My baby only drools when he's teething, so I don't use it much. You don't need too much of this stuff, just wash it frequently.

6. A bucket of milk powder (or you can buy a bag first, but in my actual experience, the one in the bucket seems to taste better than the one in the bag. My family had diarrhea after drinking the packaged one. I don’t know if it’s because of this) in case of insufficient breast milk. Some hospitals will give it away, but once you are not satisfied with the one given by the hospital, it will be difficult to change it because the baby will recognize the one he eats first. I suggest you buy Abbott's milk powder. This kind of milk powder has a good source of milk and a rigorous production process abroad, so it is more suitable.

7. Spare pacifiers: Generally, milk bottles are made of silicone. It is recommended to buy latex ones for babies to eat more comfortably. When buying, you should consider the size and choose the one with a smaller hole. Brown has three models, which can be purchased in combination.

The above are the various items included in the delivery bag for pregnant women. Now that material life is getting better and better, there is no need to prepare these things one by one. You can easily buy a full set of items in some maternity and baby stores. In order to give the baby a healthy body, it is recommended that expectant mothers buy some items of better quality.
