Disposable toothbrush: a toothbrush I'm willing to use for a couple nights then throw away at the hospital before I return home.

Cozy socks

A lightweight robe. Cozy and comfortable, presentable enough for wearing around the hospital, and easy nursing access.

Flip flops for the shower

I bought peepee teepees and used one once. Receiving blankets. Used maybe once or twice. Baby nail file! As much as I have to admit it...just get clippers and suck up the fear of cutting their nails. The files don’t work very well.

Blankets, quilts. Used swaddling blankets only.

Pee guards. I didn’t use these with my first boy but decided to give them a try with my second. Only used it the one time!! It totally got in the way when trying to change him and I needed to take it off to wipe him anyway. Better to just move as quickly as possible, and use the diaper itself as a guard if necessary, to avoid the pee in the face!

Receiving blankets. I had about a million of these, and only ever used a handful of my favorite muslin swaddle blankets over and over again.
