Dear Johnnies hospital gowns will keep you look stylish while you are in the hospital.

A good nursing tank is ideal for lounging, nursing, and to greet visitors. We offer them in multiple brands such as Bravado and GlamourMom. They both have a built in bra to make nursing easier for new moms.

If you’re planning on nursing, it is essential to find a good, supportive nursing bra. We offer custom fittings in the store to help you find your size. We carry multiple brands such as Bravado, Bella Materna, BelaBumBum, and Elle Macpherson.

We are partial to these Aden + Anais swaddle blankets because they are so cute and multi-functional. Use them as a burp cloth, blanket, swaddle, sheet, and more.

A couple more things you will probably need are toothbrush, toothpaste, cozy slippers, camera, cell phone, and your baby’s coming home outfit. With these essentials packed and ready to go, you’ll be able to focus on the birth of your baby rather than worrying about what you forgot. In the case that you did forget something, we offer free delivery to Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach. Just give us a call and we will bring you anything you need from our store.
