robe and slippers for hospital

Did you bring Robe and slippers to the hospital? If so, regular robe or maternity?
Where did you get it?

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I did not bring a robe, I did bring slippers but my hospital gave you sock slippers that I used instead.
IMO- you won't want a robe.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I brought a robe and slippers and im so glad i did. My room was freezing and i also had to walk to the nursery so a robe & slippers were definitely essential for me.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I didnt bring a robe but I was so happy I had slippers for walking in the halls to get the baby from the nursery and stuff

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I brought both and used both. I had a c/s ad used my robe after showering each day and when I was walking the hall:)

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

Did you get maternity robes? Where did you buy them?

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I didn't bring/didn't need a robe. I just wore pj's. I loved my slippers though

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I'm def bringing slippers but I wasn't going to bring a robe until pp mentioned the shower! Good idea!

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I'm bringing a robe but its not maternity, its just my regular robe that I use at home.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I did bring a robe, but it wasn't a thick heavy robe nor a maternity one. It was a simple black robe and light and I wore it over my nursing tanks. Actually I lived in that robe for like 3 wks after I came home. I got it at Target. So glad I brought it very comfy.

Slippers- no i brought flip flops instead.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

Def bring flip flops for the shower.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

i think im just gonna bring flip flops. no robe since i dont even wear one at home. i'll prob just wear sweatpants or capris and nursing tanks while at the hospital.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I dont normally wear a robe so i dont have one to bring...i was planning on living in yoga capri pants and tank tops. i packed lots of socks and a pair of flip flops. If i feel like i want my slippers i'll send DH home to get them...

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I didn't bring or need a robe. I brought a zip up sweatshirt which I got so much use out of. And i brought a pair of flip flops and a pair of crocs. The slipper socks the hospital gave me was perfect for the first day than I just wore my crocs or flip flops after that. I'm normally a slipper person at home, but didn't need them in the hospital. I was also wearing regular clothes in the hospital every day.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

Only brought my house slippers. I did use the grippy socks they provided but they were big for my feet so I had to double up on socks. Didn’t bring a robe. I was in the hospital gown until I left. Much easier to use while I was BF.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I brought a robe and flip flops... didn't need the robe and forgot to take the flip flops to the shower lol I used slipper socks instead of slippers.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I brought flip flops for the shower, slippers with a rubber sole and a robe. I didn't get a maternity robe, just a size bigger than I am normally...It was a light cotton robe (it was August)...I think I got it at kohls with a nightgown that matched.

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

IMO you don't really need either. I didn't use the robe I brought; not even once and as far as slippers. I didnt use them either. I hardly left my room so socks were fine!

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I am bringing a very thin robe that I got at the gap. It is not a maternity robe and like i said very thin almost like a long cardigan with a tie. I am also bringing flip flops and flip flop terry slippers that I got at old navy

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I had a cotton robe from lands end that was great...good Sam was HOT

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I didn't bring either. I wore the hospital gown and sometimes threw a second one on the other way as a robe, but it was hard to BF with it on and I was mainly sitting in a chair (c/s), so just used a blanket


I used the hospital slipper socks too

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

I brought my regular robe which I wore when I went to the shower down the hall. No slippers for me, but I was thankful for the slipper socks the hospital gave me!

Re: robe and slippers for hospital

i did bring a robe and i lived in it. it was black and i was so worried about bleeding through everything that it gave me comfort when i had guests. it was a very lightweight cotton robe down to my knees from GAP Body. it also came in handy when i got the chills and shakes when my milk came in. i would wake up freezing in the middle of the night and it was nice to have it to wrap around me.

i also got the most amazing slippers from Target for like $8 - lightweight, cotton, comfy.

i would bring both.
