I packed a few diapers/wipes in our diaper bag since they were already in there & fit BUT I know the hospitals do supply those for you!
I packed what I thought I would personally be using the most — I do tend to be an over packer but since this is my first baby and I don’t know what to expect, I’d rather be over-prepared than to wish I had brought something! I kept it down to the bare minimum (only what fit inside of my duffle bag) but packed a couple of extras 
I would definitely suggest bringing what makes YOU feel the most comfortable and prepared for baby!

I’ve heard the hospital has everything new moms need but I’m bringing what was recommended by people closest to me. Whatever I don’t use, I’m bringing home and will be using for postpartum at home! I did purchase the Frida Mom PostPartum Kit since it was highly recommended. I had to purchase the Peri Bottle separately!
