Why she chose the Merveille hospital bag
As she approaches her due date, the creator explains that it is time for her to pack her hospital bag.
For this step, she chose the Merveille bag from Adorable France, particularly for its large capacity and numerous storage options.
“It is truly super spacious, and with all the different pockets and compartments, I can organize baby’s things and mine in no time.”
The goal is simple: to bring together the essentials for both mom and baby in one bag while keeping everything clearly organized.
What to pack in the hospital bag for mom?
Clothing and comfort items
She begins by packing her own belongings and includes in particular:
- pajamas;
- a pair of warm, comfortable socks;
- panties;
- a nursing bra;
- a scrunchie.
These items help ensure a minimum level of comfort during the stay at the maternity ward.
The toiletry bag
She also adds a toiletry bag to group her personal products together and prevent them from getting scattered throughout the bag.
Phone and small accessories
Some items are easy to forget but can quickly become essential once you are there.
She specifically makes sure to bring:
- her phone charger;
- a small Bluetooth speaker.
“My phone charger, especially, is essential.”
What to prepare in the hospital bag for the baby?
The first outfits
For her baby, she prepares several items of clothing to anticipate the first changes:
- 2 bodysuits;
- 2 pairs of pajamas;
- 2 pairs of socks;
- 2 baby hats;
- a cardigan.
This selection allows her to have several outfits available from the very first days.
The security blanket and linens
She also slips into the bag:
- the baby's security blanket;
- a cloth/swaddle.
Small essentials that round out the initial birth items.
Don't forget the medical file
Quick access to medical documents
Among the most important items in the bag is her maternity file folder.
She keeps in it, in particular:
- her lab results;
- her ultrasounds;
- her documents related to pregnancy follow-up.
She chooses to place this folder in the large inner pocket of the bag so she can retrieve it immediately.
“That way, we just have to open the bag and grab it if needed.”
It’s a good way to separate important documents from clothes and other accessories.
A spacious hospital bag for better organization
One of the main advantages highlighted in this video is the ability to easily separate mom’s things from the baby’s.
Thanks to the various pockets and compartments of the Merveille bag, each category of belongings can have its own space.
This organization makes it possible, in particular, to:
- quickly find a piece of clothing;
- keep documents accessible;
- separate personal items from the baby’s items;
- avoid having to empty the entire bag to look for an item.
The last essentials to add before leaving
The creator points out that her bag is not yet completely finished.
She still has to add, for instance:
- the pacifiers;
- diapers;
- lanolin.
“Obviously, a few things are still missing […] but honestly, we’re already in good shape.”
This is a reminder that it can be useful to pack your bag gradually, then do a final check a few days before the due date.
Conclusion
Through this preparation, @journaldunemanon shows how to effectively organize a hospital bag for mom and baby.
The Merveille hospital bag from Adorable France allows her to gather in a single bag:
- mom’s clothes;
- baby’s first outfits;
- toiletries;
- small accessories;
- the medical file.
Its large capacity and numerous compartments facilitate organization before the big day and allow important items to remain quickly accessible.
A great way to prepare for the baby’s arrival more serenely, without having to search for your essentials at the last moment.
