What should I prepare for the confinement package?

After the birth of a child, many new parents are at a loss. If they don’t have other people’s advice, they may become overwhelmed. Therefore, before the child is born, various preparations should be made, including the confinement bag. The confinement package should include items for pregnant women and babies. Preparing them in advance can reduce the various tedious matters during the confinement period and concentrate on raising the baby. So, what should be prepared in the confinement bag?

1. Are there confinement bags for sale in supermarkets?

To buy a maternity bag for the confinement period, you need to go to a special maternity and baby store, or you can buy it at some flagship stores online. If it is sold online, you have to buy it in advance.

2. What are the essential items in the delivery bag?

1. Nutritional supplements: such as chocolate, brown sugar, etc., to replenish physical strength before delivery.

2. Straw: When you cannot get up after giving birth, you can use a straw to drink water or soup, which is more convenient.

3. Pajamas: 2 sets. In the hot summer, clothes must be light, thin and breathable to avoid catching a heat cold. The clothes are mainly made of cotton and have good breathability and sweat absorption properties.

4. Underwear: 2-4 pairs. Since there will be a lot of lochia after childbirth, you need to change them at any time. It is better to bring a few more pairs.

5. Sanitary napkins: 2-4 packs of extended night-time version. After delivery, the lochia cannot be discharged all at once and a sanitary napkin is needed.

6. Toilet pad: 1 piece. Mothers who are worried that the public toilets in the hospital are not clean can prepare one. Mothers who have given birth naturally or had an episiotomy should pay more attention to hygiene.

7. Nursing bras: 2-3 pieces. They should be worn after giving birth to prevent sagging of breasts due to enlargement due to breastfeeding. It also makes it easier for mothers to breastfeed.

8. Breast pump: 1. In addition to asking the nurse to help with massage, a breast pump can also help the mother to suck out more milk. (It should be mentioned that no matter how good a breast pump is, it is only an auxiliary tool. If you want more milk, you have to let your baby suck more.)

9. 1 open-front jacket: easy to put on and take off.

10. Heatable tableware: 1 set, convenient for heating food at any time in the hospital.

11. Discharge clothing: 1 set. We sweat a lot in summer, so we should wear cotton clothes with strong sweat absorption performance. It is best to wear a sun hat when going out.

It is best to prepare the confinement bag for pregnant women in advance, otherwise you will be in a hurry and at a loss when you are ready to give birth. Things you want to use are not available, so it is necessary to prepare in advance, and the items in the bag must be complete. If not, it will be inconvenient to use, and you have to run out to buy them, which will waste time, and it will be troublesome if you can't use them in an emergency. Therefore, the editor recommends that you should prepare the confinement period supplies in advance so that you will not be short of them when the time comes.
