Yes. They supply the diapers, wipes, pads, formula, burp rags, booger suckers, shampoo, baby wash, and you get to bring it ALL home with you when you leave
(Im in Canada and they give you a little caddy full of things to use...the trick is to keep emptying it in your bag to take home and they'll keep stocking it haha )
Some do but its not a lot I say maybe 6-8 2oz bottles of the already made bottles nd maybe 10 diapers wipes..well thts at least where I'm from nd my hospital gives US a car seat nd bathing supplies nd a comb nd brush bugger sucker lol not much but it helps oh nd they give me a bag of supplies for myself which has wipes pads nd the water squirter thing for ur vajayjay..
Diapers, wipes, a thermometer, a soother if you want one, usually diaper Cream, they put a little hat on them when they're born, a receiving blanket or two if your sneaky Haha oh and if you feel bad while stocking up remember that they throw away anything you don't take with you :-) Focus on the diapers, they are the most useful haha
Lol, we're such criminals!!! Lmao....it's not bad though cuz they get those things in large orders all the time anyway....it's not like they're gonna miss a receiving blanket or two when they have 100 more in the supply closet....and they can't *really* monitor how much the little one poos, especially if the shift changes (perfect time to stash diapers, ladies!!!).....i'm just sayin', lol
Our blankets are stamped in huge letters: property of US Government theft or destruction can result in federal prosecution. Well was at our last base anyway. So makes me a lil iffy about acquiring anything, blankets atleast
Lol @cetheridge yea I would jst leave the blanket lol @mountainmomma so true they throw away everything we leave behind so definitely dnt feel bad takin the stuff cause its jst a waist of money they throwing away nd it saves u a lil money takin it lol I'm.so excited to pack my bag up lol I sound like a thief but they are jst gonna toss it so y not toss it in my bag?! Lol
Hmmm, I never took anything of the items sitting around, just the "gifts" which were the usual stuff from Similac or Enfamil. I'll see what I can take this time around!
And you are not taking anything that you will not be paying for any how. Just wait till the hospital bill comes. So take it all you will get charged either way.
Totally agree @traci84lucas with my son I didn't k ow much about takin the diapers nd stuff til my sis visit me the day before I discharged nd she was like make sure u take the diapers nd bottles I was like Wht?!! No!!! Lol she said y not ur paying for it nd they jst toss it...I felt weird about it but she packed it all up nd sent it home with my bro lol nd they jst restocked it...but I felt guilty til the bill came nd now I'm like Omg I shouldve took more diapers lol
Lol I know its crazy how much it cost just to give birth. I'm taking the nurses a little goody bag so.hopefully that gets them on my good side lol and they give me extras because I won't be able to leave the house after my c section
With my son I took as many things of diapers, I would change him like twice then when the nurse came in at shift change be like I am sorry I ran out, knowing I had almost a full bag . I did the same for the formula and wipes and everything else. Ill prolly do the same things this time. It really helps out
