Dumb question re: hospital supplies

Does the hospital supply the diapers for your baby during your stay or should you pack a bunch to bring with you? TIA!

they supply and you should bring an empty bag to take whatever you need from them. once they put a full package of diapers in your bassinet - they legally cannot put them into another bassinet...so they are yours.

They will give them to you. They are usually size 1 so if you have a small baby you may want to use NB but the size 1's are fine.

Just be careful - most hospitals only put 6-8 diapers in at a time and if your asking for more bc you took them within a few hours - most hospitals will tell you that you should have enough to last and use what you packed away. You don't want to be the mom that gets 'talked about' Chat Icon. But as long as you get a great RN taking care of you - they will usually pack a large bag of diapers, wipes, vaseline and hide them in ur closet for you (atleast I do that with my patients I like on the Maternity floor).

I thought that, and then thought they might look in the garbage and see they are missing.

There are many things you can do to keep those diapers in your bag Chat Icon. You can slyly say when you were changing the baby he/she peed on the new one and you went thru 2 or 3 in one change (babies are notorious for peeing when their diapers are open - that cold air does wonders). Also, just be extra nice to the nurses or aides and you can even ask on the last day if they didn't stock you Chat Icon. GL. And BTW not at NS manhasset Chat Icon

Thanks!!! Of course you never bite the hand that feeds you! When I was in the hospital last, the nurses loved me-one is my FB friend Chat Icon

You are most definitely not going to be at my hospital Chat Icon

Chat Icon Oh Poo! Well it's good to get the tricks of the trade! THANKS!!

BTW - I seriously don't get why anyone would be rude/mean/whatever to someone who is taking care of you... It doesn't make sense!!
