Perfect Going Home Outfits For New Moms

“What should I wear home from the hospital?” It might be one of the last things you’re thinking about while you’re getting ready for your new baby.

Tips for choosing your going-home outfit

  • Make comfort your first priority. After all the hard work that your body has been through while giving birth, it will need the time and space to recover. Prioritize comfort by opting for loose, breathable fabrics like viscose bamboo that will allow for movement and accommodate postpartum changes. Bamboo is also a good option for temperature regulation so you can stay cool and dry no matter what kind of weather you’re dealing with. 
  • Plan for postpartum needs. After giving birth, you and your baby will likely have some special needs that you should accommodate for in your going-home outfit. For example, you’ll likely want to choose a top that allows for easy access for breastfeeding during the first day at home. Additionally, look for loose-fitting pants or one-pieces that won’t press or dig into you, especially if you’re recovering from a C-section. 
  • Look for styles that you love. Feeling comfortable is definitely the key here, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t choose an outfit that will make you feel good about yourself. Don’t be afraid to choose styles, colors, and patterns that will give you a little boost of confidence and set the tone for those exciting first few days with your newborn.

    More tips for preparing for the ride home

    Going home with your new baby for the first time is exciting… but it can also be nerve-wracking. Preparation can go a long way in making the transition easier for both you and your new bundle of joy. 

    Prepare your car seat and know how to use it. 

    Getting your car seat ready well ahead of time can help bring peace of mind to your big trip home. Give yourself plenty of time to properly install your car seat into your car. Then, in the month leading up to your due date, take the time to familiarize yourself with it, practicing securing and adjusting the straps so that you’ll feel confident once it’s time to get your baby settled in. 

    Gather your support system. 

    Taking your baby home for the first time is a huge life milestone. Emotions will probably be running high, and you’ll likely still be tired and adjusting to the physical and emotional changes that come with being a new parent. It’s a good idea to establish a support system that will help you through the process and take some of that weight off. Whether it’s your partner, a family member, or a close friend, talk with someone you trust to discuss having them drive you and your baby home and offer their support along the way. 

    Include helpful accessories in your hospital bag.

    While you’re packing your baby bag for the hospital, don’t forget to include some accessories and necessities that will make your transition home smoother. Put together a fully equipped diaper bag with must-haves like diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes for the baby. Then consider adding items for your comfort like a nursing cover or scarf and/or a postpartum belly band for extra support on the ride home. Don’t forget to include some snacks and water for yourself — that extra fuel can go a long way after a tiring hospital stay! 

    Conclusion 

    Your going-home outfit might be one of the last things on your mind while you’re preparing for your new bundle of joy to arrive, but planning ahead and giving it some thought can add a layer of comfort and peace to that big transition home. Prioritize yourself and your baby with comfortable, nursing-friendly outfits that are comfortable and practical so that you can spend less time in discomfort and more time focusing on what really matters: those special first moments with your newest addition.
