She started the video – which she shared on her TikTok account @hortonlane – by explaining that these are the “three things I wish I would have remembered to pack in my hospital bag”.
In her video, the mum shared three items and a bonus must have.
She said: “One, handheld fan.”
“All those hormones running through your body during and after labour you’re gonna want air blowing on your face.”
The new mum recommends taking a handheld fan that has a number of speeds, is rechargeable, and can stand up on its own.
She also recommends taking a sleep mask in your hospital bag with you, explaining that: “Even with the lights off, there are a lot of machines that emit light in your hospital room.”
She continues: “number three, ear plugs or headphones.”
“Hospitals are noisy and I wished I had these when my husband was watching the baby while I slept.”
As for the extra product, the mum explains: “Bonus, a nice little night light. Instead of turning all the lights on when you have to feed or change the baby in the middle of the night.”
She recommends a night light that dims, is rechargeable and is a small size.
