Pack your hospital bag

“No matter how little time you have, be sure to pack the basics ready to take into hospital with you,” says health visitor Angela Davy (www.bootsparentingclub.com). “You’ll need a towel and soap, shampoo and your toothbrush, along with big knickers, maternity pads, nightwear and loose clothing. For your baby, plan for two clean layers every 24 hours. Go for a vest and sleepsuit to keep her warm and a hat, and don’t forget nappies!”
