Hospital Bag Essentials Nobody Mentions

Hospital bag lists often miss essentials that make a 48-hour stay bearable: your own pillow, a 10-foot phone charger, nipple cream, a peri bottle, dark underwear for disposal, and 2-3 pounds of snacks. Hospital food arrives on its own schedule, leaving you ravenously hungry at 2 AM after pushing for hours—cheaper than the typical rival's $5 vending machine options and more convenient for night feeds. Don't leave without these.
