Parent Props | Packing the Hospital Bag Part 2

Do you remember my last hospital bag packing post? It's one of my most popular posts...of all time. So given that it's been over two years since I wrote that post, I figured it was about time I updated it! So here you go folks, my latest (and greatest) rendition of everything you need and nothing you don't in your hospital bag.

FOR MAMA
I added a couple of things and took away others! Why didn't they make nursing clothes this cute when I was breastfeeding?!
