Get Ready for the Hospital with a Mommy/Delivery BFFLBag®

If it's good enough for Kim Kardashian, it has to be good enough for me. Right?!

Recently, OK! Magazine said the Mommy/Delivery BFFLBag® is “best gift ever for pregnant moms.” They also suggested that moms-to-be Kim Kardashian and Malin Ackerman invest in one of these bags for the delivery room. I would say that is a pretty awesome endorsement.

Eleven years ago, I was admitted to the hospital four weeks earlier than expected. I was young and unprepared. I literally had nothing but the clothes on my back when I checked into labor & delivery. I did not have my hospital bag packed. Everything happened so quickly.

This time around, I am going to be prepared. Thanks to Elizabeth Chabner Thompson, co-founder of BFFL Co., I was sent a Mommy/Delivery BFFLBag® to review...and help me prepare for my delivery this time around.

**I forgot to include the berryplus 2 loads laundry soap in the video.

New York-based BFFL Co. (which means “Best Friends for Life”) took its expertise in creating patient recovery kits and developed the ultimate hospital bag for expectant mothers, the Mommy/Delivery BFFLBag.

The Mommy/Delivery BFFLBag®, which makes the perfect baby shower gift, contains everything an expectant mother will need for her hospital stay, taking the guesswork out of packing.

The bag itself, a beautiful, multicolor striped duffel bag (which makes it perfect for post-recovery trips to the gym or the beach), comes loaded with essentials for labor and delivery, including:

Toiletries to look and feel fresh before and after labor

earplugs for a quick cat nap

amusements to keep you occupied while waiting

note pad to jot down baby names and your to-do list

note cards to say thank you

flip flops for that wonderful first shower

cozy socks and pashmina so you can stay warm and look elegant

a nursing/comfort pillow so you can find a good position

ice packs for “down there” or your breasts

wound care supplies, maxi pads, and ice packs

skin care sampler, so you can maintain that glow

more

Everyone is going consider packing different items in their bag. You will possible add or subtract, depending on your needs. I would add additional items like chargers for your electronics, batteries, a camera, change for the vending machines, and make-up to my bag. As mentioned in the video, a coming home outfit for mom and baby are key items as well.

It looks like I'll be ahead of the game this time. And I owe it all to my best friend for life.
