What to bring to hospital.
It's nice to have the suitcase prepared in advance in the days prior to delivery to the following:
For Mom:

The baby's room.
Ideally it would be bright and sunny and airy as possible, avoiding the sun comes directly into the baby's face. Must be quiet and isolated as possible from the noise and traffic.
The floor must be easy to clean. Avoid carpets that accumulate dust and mites.
The temperature should ideally fluctuate between 18 ° to 24 ° C. The humidity from 50% to 70%. The baby's airways are very sensitive, so if the atmosphere is very dry it is desirable to have a humidifier.
The decor is recommended soft colors and pastel shades of blue or green. Decorative objects as well as being stimulating for the baby, they serve as reference points. The mobile is very beneficial for the stimulation of the infant, but should be placed a suitable distance (20 cm. The baby) not above the baby's face.
The crib and changing table.
The crib.
You must have an approximate size of 55 x 85 cm. And protected by a railing on the sides.
It is desirable to have wheels or a rolling system that allows rocking the baby. The mattress should be relatively firm so that the baby does not sink and to avoid possible deformations of the spine. During the first year is better because the baby pillow vitarla could drown in it. You can use a small towel.
The changer.
It should be as broad as possible, with raised edges and high enough for adults to not have to bend too much. You must have a padded, washable cloth.
Useful accessories for baby's first weeks.
For baby:
• Bottles: while breastfeeding directly is the best option not always possible. Later we'll tell you how to choose a good bottle.
• bottle sterilizer: to keep free of germs all accessories for the baby.
• Cleaning fluid bottles: milk easily removed without leaving a bottle attached to toxic waste.
• Pacifiers: To give the child emotional tranquility.
• Monitor: To hear your baby's condition remotely.
Breastfeeding:
• Absorbent or nipple shields: to keep you dry and comfortable while you're breastfeeding.
• Lactigel: To maintain healthy nipples breastfeed without pain.
• Nipple Protector: help you continue breastfeeding where you have flat or sore nipples.
• Nipple Trainer: to form inverted nipples.
• Breast pumps: We recommend keeping a milk bank in the refrigerator for your baby to always have milk available.
In the process of pumping, it should be noted that suck is not the same to pull or push the nipple. Strong pressure is not necessarily better. Breast milk is produced by the mammary glands when some special hormones are stimulated. These hormones are released during suckling of the baby and its production is interrupted when the mother is uncomfortable or painful.
The most important thing in the extraction of milk, is that the mother is relaxed and lactation promotes breast pump simulating the natural way a baby's sucking. In a good breast pump, such as Pigeon, you can adjust the suction force, so the mother to express milk at ease and without pain.
