Packing Your Hospital Bag

This is something you don’t want to wait until last minute to do. Packing your hospital bag is essential so that you don’t forget any last minute items. We typically recommend you have your bag packed a month and a half before your due date. Here are Xpecting’s top 6 must-haves:

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

tankblk

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.

Get cozy with a comfortable pair of Juliet Dream soft panel lounge pants. Pair it with a nursing top and cardigan for stylish comfort.

thnipplebutter

Don’t even think about leaving home without the Bella B Nipple Nuture. We recommend you start using this from day one of nursing to avoid dry or cracked nipples.

aamodswaddle

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.

Great Gift Items for Pregnant Girl

We’ve put together a great post featuring some gift items for both Pregnant Girl and baby.

2 Chix does some cute novelty tee’s that are fun for Pregnant Girl to wear. They do cute sayings such as What’s Kicking (available in gender neutral, blue, and pink footprint), Tickled Pink, Oh Boy, Knocked Up, Does This Baby Make My Butt Look Big?, and My Pod Has Two Peas. This is a great gift to give to Pregnant Girl when she finds out she’s expecting.

Almost every baby we know has this Sophie The Giraffe teething toy.  She is a must-have accessory for every baby while they are teething.  She is made from natural rubber and food paint, so she is safe to chew. Her shape is easy for baby’s hands to grasp and she makes a delightful squeak when her tummy or head are squeezed.

Help make Pregnant Girl’s stay at the hospital a bit more stylish with the Dear Johnnies hospital gown.  This gown buttons down the back and at the shoulders to make it more nursing friendly. She will surely appreciate the soft fabric and loose fitting design as her body heals.

We have been going ga-ga over our new line Aden + Anais. This hooded towel and washcloth will make bath time more fun for baby. The four-layer washcloth gets softer after each wash, making it extra gentle on baby’s delicate skin.  Aden + Anais also do a line of swaddle blankets and burpy bibs, available in different patterns.

We all know Little Giraffe for making the softest must have baby blankets, loveys and towels.  These are the ultimate indulgence for your little one or they make the ideal baby gift.  Don’t miss out on their brand new product, Little G, the stuffed animal that Perez Hilton called the must have gift item this year.
