My Hospital Bag Checklist

I suddenly found myself searching for a cute or trendy baby bag. It feels like just yesterday when we tested and I’m positive for our 6th child. I haven’t even planned the gender reveal yet (though I already know the gender haha) and here I am feeling ready to give birth. I’m on my 30th weeks already and due on April first week. At my age, it will seem like baby will arrive earlier than expected so it is best to be prepared. I have been reading a lot and they say it is best to have your baby hospital bag organized and packed around 32 weeks of pregnancy. I only have 2 weeks to prepare!

So I am posting this personal check list (based on readings and experiences from past child birth) to help me prepare everything I need for myself, the baby, and the daddy. I divided it into 3 categories, each with own separate smalls bag and will list it that way. For me, this is the best way to organize our baby bag. Everything will be then put in a big bag after. What kind of bag? As I have mentioned earlier, still looking for it! But some of my jujube bags seems promising, better to save the money on diapers and other baby essentials. 

Hospital Bag for Baby

Aceite de Manzanilla Pneumonia

  • Receiving essentials which I will put in a small pouch and will be placed on top most of our big hospital bag.
    • receiving blanket
    • baby clothes (I prefer side tie tops and cute pajama)
    • mittens & booties
    • newborn diaper
  • Comfort essentials for the baby. I am thinking of putting this essentials on a plastic box so that I can just put it on top a table or cabinet while in the hospital room.
      • pacifier
      • diaper rash cream
      • IPI Aceite de Manzanilla if in case baby is colic. Our tried and tested product when it comes to soothing the baby’s discomfort due to accumulation of gas or what we call as “kabag’. IPI Aceite de Manzanilla main ingredient is manzanilla oil which has a soothing and calming effect.

I have been using Aceite de Manzanilla since my first born at as I have mentioned, tried and tested product in soothing the baby. Recently, I heard some rumors about the use of aceite and that it can cause Pneumonia. Syempre feeling first time mom at medyo nagpanic ako doon so I researched and asked our pedia about.

Can Aceite de Manzanilla really cause Pneumonia?

Fact is, there are two types of pneumonia, one cause by bacteria and one cause by vrius, nothing in my research says that another cause is the use of Acete de Manzanilla. If there’s one thing I learned, it is that proper hygiene and cleanliness dapat to avoid getting sick, lalo na kay baby.

Our pedia advised us on how to properly use it. Remembering always that improper use and excessive use is not good. Use it only when necessary and when the baby is experiencing kabag or discomfort. Avoid using it as oil before bathing the baby, you don’t really need to put oil on baby’s back or head. Mag bu build up lang yan ng bacteria because hindi mo malilinis ng husto si baby. Of course, at the first sign of irritation, stop use na agad and ask advice sa pedia. SInce in our case, wala namang history ng irritation, Acete de Manzanilla is still part of our hospital bag list.

Aside from the receiving essentials and comfort essentials, ito pa yung mga essentials na nasa bag ni baby:

  • Baby toiletries will include diapers, baby wipes, cotton balls, and alcohol. This will be placed together with the comfort essentials.
  • Change of clothes for the baby. I am thinking of packing at least 3 change of clothes for the baby but will add more pjs. Based on my experience, you will need this more often. So that would be 3 tops + 3 mittens, and 5 pjs + 5 booties.
  • Going home outfit (and car seat). This is the most exciting part to plan! Since baby’s gender is not out yet, I am not going to discuss this more haha. Rest assured, it will be the cutest outfit ever, after all, it will the older siblings’ first time to see their newest baby.

Hospital Bag for Mommy

I think this is what will take most space on our hospital bag. After all, I will be the one doing all the labor.

  • Documents required in the hospital that will be placed neatly in a resealable pouch
    • ID
    • RT- PCR test result
    • contact details of my OB-GYN
    • Insurance documents (Philhealth, SSS, HMO, and the likes)

  • Comfort essentials that I will probably need during labor also placed in a separate small bag.
    • lip balm
    • socks
    • essential oil like IPI Acete de Manzanilla to help me calm during labor, just the smell of it, parang kumakalma na ako eh. Also I noticed how it helped me kabag too lalo na pag busy ako mag work.
    • hand lotion
  • Change of clothes during our stay in the hospital.
    • 3 comfy tops
    • 3 comfy bottoms
    • 3 pairs of undies and nursing bra
    • Jacket or robe
    • Slippers
  • Toiletries & make- up. I am not comfortable taking a bath in the hospital so I will not include bath essentials but will include facial wash (skin care is a must!)
    • maternity pads
    • hand soap
    • body lotion
    • facial wash and moisturizer
    • Make up kit
  • Other essentials that will be very useful during our hospital stay will include:
    • blanket
    • extra pillow
    • charger and power bank
    • snacks
    • alcohol
  • Going home outfit would be a nice nursing top or dress.

Hospital Bag for Daddy (Birth Partner)

So let us not forget the essentials for daddy who is my birth partner since child #1.

  • For documents, I still have to check with the hospital if husband also needs to present an RT- PCR result.
  • For husband’s comfort, I will be packing a blanket for him, slippers, and jacket.
  • Other essentials will include:
    • alcohol
    • charger and power bank
    • snacks
  • For change of clothes, 2 shirts and 1 pants will do, plus undies for him.

These are my list so far and will probably add a few more as the day goes by but this is is most likely the bulk of it. As this is already my 6th baby, no need to read up on the signs of labor, kabisado ko na yan! But if it is your first time to give birth, it is best to also discuss the signs of labor to your birth partner so he would know what to do if labor starts. Good luck to us mommies of 2022 babies!

A Better and Stronger You in 2022

Each time January rolls in, we tend to list down a new set of resolutions we all hope to apply the rest of the year, whether it’s to fall less for budols every month, lose the holiday weight, start eating healthy and being more physically active, or spending more quality time with family.

While some end up on the backburner after a few weeks, the most important ones pertaining to one’s health should always be a top priority, especially with the ongoing pandemic. A recent study conducted by Movement Today showed many Filipinos have become less physically active since the start of the pandemic which made them experience back, muscle, and joint pains, and feel more tired and lethargic. The lack of movement has posed a greater risk on one’s physical and mental health, and overall well-being.

With health being of utmost importance, best to keep resolutions simple, attainable, and sustainable. Engaging in physical activity like going for short walks or doing easy 15-20 min exercises to keep the blood flowing and having a more nutritious diet that gives the proper nutrients for our bones, joints, muscles and the rest of the body to mention a few.

Milk does the body good

Anlene, the trusted bone expert for 30 years and one of the adult milk pioneers in the Philippines has been advocating the importance of caring for bones, joints, and muscles to enable movement at any age and live their best lives.

To further strengthen expertise and provide superior adult nutrition, Anlene introduced the new Anlene Gold 5X which helps in maintaining strong bones, joints, and muscles with added benefits on energy and flexibility and help improve overall mobility. It has the highest calcium content among other milk brands which provides 100% of your daily calcium needs in 2 glasses, it is high in protein with 9g per serve, has collagen and Vit C, with B vitamins, and with a new breakthrough ingredient MFGM Activ among many other vitamins and minerals.

MFGM Activ is a revolutionary ingredient present only in Anlene Gold 5X and has been proven to help enhance physical performance of our bones, joints, and muscles when coupled with exercise. This innovative formulation has been tested and shown to increase muscle mass by 40%, improve bone mineral content and flexibility by 2x, making it the perfect beverage to support bone, muscle and joint health and recovery. Another interesting meaning behind the 5X: bone, joints, muscles, energy, and flexibility which are all aligned with Anlene’s benefits.

Add milk to your diet

According to registered nutritionist Jo Ann Verdadero-Salamat, milk plays an important part of our diet because it provides all the necessary daily nutrients we need. “We tend to think milk is just for kids, but even in adulthood, our bones still grow in density and this is why it is still necessary. It is important to choose milk high in calcium because it is the major nutrient that strengthens our bones.”

While calcium is present in other types of food, and also in supplements in the form of tablets, Jo Ann shared that drinking milk is the best option. While you can also consume calcium in the form of tablets, the way our body metabolizes them will not be as efficient as compared to food,” she says. “Anlene has always been known as the ideal milk drink for adults because of its high protein and highest calcium content among other powdered milk brands. It does not only support the bones, but also the muscles and joints. “All three parts of our anatomy affect each other. In order for these three parts to work efficiently together, we need the right nutrition which you can get in fortified milk like Anlene,” she adds.

The oldest member of the Philippine National Team, Veteran Long Jump Olympian, 4x SEA Games Gold Medalist, and Philippine/SEA Games Long Jump Record Holder Marestella Sunang attests to this who has been an Anlene drinker for years. Now in her 40s, she is still able to compete with younger athletes. “I started drinking Anlene from the very start of my athletic career. It has always been with me in training every day. Over the years, I have really gotten into the habit of drinking it and it has been a solid part of my routine because it helps with my flexibility,” she explained. “As I grow older and continue to compete, I find I need it even more now, and I’m so thankful I was introduced to it early on in my career as it has played such an important role in my journey.” she said.

Good health starts now

Our bones, joints, and muscles are some of the most important pillars that help us to live a happy and healthy life. It’s never too late to start taking care of it, especially in a time when our health needs to be top priority. All it takes is to move for around 15-20 minutes a day, eat the right food, and drink milk so we can all feel healthy, better, and stronger for the rest of the year.

Join Anlene’s advocacy of everyday movement partnered with proper nutrition for healthy ageing in 2022.
