Hospital Bag, what am I missing?

posted 30th Dec
In her bag:
A few onsies (I know the hospital gives them but I have cute ones for pics lol)
Mittens/hats (they match her outfits)
Her coming home outfit
A thick & soft blanket to cover her carseat in for when she leaves
And of course the carseat

From what i've heard I won't need much else. I'm breastfeeding, and everything else i've been told the hospital will supply.

My bag:
Comfy outfit
Extra underwear
Fuzzy socks (I need my fuzzy socks. don't judge!  )
Toothbrush/toothpaste
Travel size hair care + brush
Phone charger
Cocoa butter for my belly  
I always have hair ties on my wrists
Moms bringing the camera
Baby book

And yes, I know hospitals usually supply shampoos and toiletries, I just have a ton of travel size things that I never get a chance to use lol

Anything i'm missing? Please and thank you

If you wear contacts make sure you have your glasses (and a contact case/solution), they will make you take your contacts out for labor and delivery.

Extra jammies/comfy clothes-you will most likely bleed on them.

I dont like pampers, the diapers my hospital uses so I bring my own diapers.

Baby nail clippers! My girl came out with daggers and the hospital has a law here where they will not cut them.

Paci for baby and socks for baby

We didn't end up getting a paci from the hospital we had to ask for one but we ended up bringing one as well.

And wipes. The hospital didn't have babywipes they would use a wet washcloth to wipe the baby.

Ok cool so lip balm, extra clothes, jolly ranchers (i have a ton lol), baby nail clippers, a folder, quarters, and wipes just in case. Got it  

I heard that paci's will make breastfeeding more of a challenge. =/ I was told to wait a month before giving them to her.

Razor and shaving cream? I wanted to shave when I showered after so bad just to feel nice and clean. Things to keep you busy, laptop, phone, charger, snacks.
