^ sakin din ganyan sis! pero may pinagsama sama na rin ako na damit ni baby like ganto:

1st day: mittens, booties, bib, pajama, longsleeves (sama sama sa isang ziplock)

Ganyan up to 3rd day. Then last is yung "going home" outfit.

May nabasa ako na mga nanganak sa Asian Hospital na hindi daw nagamit ang mga damit ni baby since sila ang magpoprovide ng needs ni baby. Natotorn tuloy ako kung magdadala oa ako since i'm planning to give birth sa Asian. Anyone na nakaexperience nito? What else should i bring then?

[belle_v2g]

^yun na lang ang di ko pa nabibili, yung going home outfit and some cardigans. Winter kasi ako manganganak so I will be needing heaps of warm clothing. I started fixing na rin my bag and hubby's. Namili ako ng tops and nursing bras and panties. Nakaka tempt lagi mamili. hehe!

[duhyan]

^ sobra sis! Mamimili pa din ako ng tops na may buttons sa harap para easy magpa bf. Hehe

[belle_v2g]

Ang hirap mamili at maghanap ng breastfeeding tops na hindi mukhang pang nanay na nanay. Gusto ko sana yung medyo stylish parin. Any recos?

[coco_cola]

^how about Elin.ph? I really like their maternity tops and dresses. They have nice nursing clothes too.

I don't really plan to buy nursing tops. Boyfriend/oversized button down tops will work just fine. Plus when I'm out, I plan to use nursing cover as well. 😀

[duhyan]

^me too! Kaya binili ko lang yung nasa department store na typical pantulog lang hehe madami kasi akong nursing cover. Binigay nung baby shower so gamitin ko nalang yun with regular clothes ko

sis belle_v2g, for chic maternity clothes, try springmaternity.com, i think they also deliver to australia

^bumili din ako at magdadala ng 2-4 Pigeon peristaltic plus wideneck feeding bottles. just in case kelangan. Need ba isterilize?

If you can borrow a pump while trying to establish your milk supply, borrow muna before buying your own pump. This is  tip from a cousin whose son is now 4 months old.

Belle_v2g, impressive ang pag kaka organize ng hospital bags mo.

[duhyan]

^ sis i bought Pigeon din in case na kelanganin

I also bought breast manual pump sa murang halaga, i think farlin ang tatak. Baka kasi need ko magpump pag walang lumabas agad. Pero sabi nila ipalatch lang kay baby okey na.

[belle_v2g]

^thank you sis fionaapple. Tapos ko na yung kay baby at hubby. Yung sakin na bag nalang ang pending kase pinapatuyo ko pa yung ibang clothes ko. Nilabhan ko kase muna kahit mga bagong bili. Pag may time ako post ko dito contents ng bags naming tatlo.

[duhyan]

^ same tayo sis! Ready na lahat. Si baby nalang ang inaantay!

[crzysxycl]

Thanks sa tips sisses, ang galing. Buti pala nakita ko tong thread, mas ok pala bumili muna ng breast pump, meron palang cheap lang. I remember my SIL who gave birth last year, CS sya at wala raw talaga syang milk, iyak na ng iyak ang baby nya. Breastpump will be handy pala kung sakali since CS din ako.

Question pala re philhealth forms, may nabasa ako na dapat meron din for baby. Saan to nakukuha mga sis? Sa employer din ba? Sorry noob question, wala kasi ako idea. Thanks!

[bluish_mommy]

almost done na rin with my hospital bag. To add, aside from breastpump, I make sure dadalhin ko rin ang breastfeeding pillow ko, I'll also bring my nursing cover just in case nagkataon na may visitor at kailangan ko magpa-breastfeed, para di na nila kailangan pang lumabas ng kwarto just to let me breastfeed the baby. 

[simang]

^sis buti you mentioned nursing pillow and cover. Yan ang di ko pa nalagay sa bag ko, hehe.

Btw, ilang underpads ang kelangan? I have a whole pack 8pcs yata yun i'm thinking kung magdadala lang ako ng konti.

[bluish_mommy]

^yung nursing pad ko di nagalaw nung nanganak ako sa panganay ko dahil na CS ah. Pero magdadala na rin ako ulit for baby #2 kahit CS ako ulit just in case para di na bibili pa kung kailanganin man.

[simang]

^thanks sis. I'm thinking kasi baka 1 or 2 pcs lang magamit eh ang bulky ipack. Haha
