Sanitary towels - The night time ones, much more absorbent than maternity towels.
Toiletries - toothpaste, toothbrush, shower gel, dry shampoo, massage oil, flannel.

Muslin cloths
Blanket

Sudocrem
Newborn wipes
A dummy
Hats & scratch mitts
Coming home outfit & cardigan
Pram suit
Some ready made milk cartons (never used as the hospital do provide them if needed)
Three vests (didn't really need them under his sleepsuits)I think that was everything, but as I'm writing this post after Noahs' birth, I can't be 100% sure I've remembered absolutely everything we took. I would totally recommend Lucozade Sport as this really helped me gain some energy back after labour. A massage oil was also essential as I had most of my labour in my back, it helped when my mum rubbed my back with it during early labour. Hope this has helped anyone currently packing theirs.
