Staying Safe and Comfortable
Ensuring your safety during your hospital stay is our top priority. Our nested COVID-19 hospital packing checklist includes items to keep you and your newborn protected from potential exposure to the virus.
Protective Gear
Face masks are essential to minimize the risk of transmission. Bring an adequate supply to last your entire stay, including spares for your support person. Don't forget to wear them properly, covering both your nose and mouth. Hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes are necessary for maintaining proper hygiene. Keep them within reach and use them frequently. Disposable gloves offer an additional layer of protection and are recommended when handling potentially contaminated surfaces.
Temperature Monitoring
Thermometers are crucial for monitoring your temperature and that of your newborn regularly. Elevated temperatures can be an indicator of infection, and early detection is key. Make sure you have a contactless thermometer specifically designed for infants to avoid any discomfort.
Communication and Entertainment
Staying connected with loved ones and keeping yourself entertained can greatly enhance your hospital experience. Our nested COVID-19 hospital packing checklist includes items to help you maintain meaningful connections and pass the time with ease.
Virtual Communication Devices
In these times of physical distancing, virtual communication devices are invaluable for connecting with family and friends who may not be able to visit in person. Bringing a tablet or smartphone allows for video calls, photo sharing, and keeping everyone updated on your progress.
Electronics and Entertainment
Make your hospital stay more comfortable and enjoyable by bringing your favorite electronics and entertainment options. This could include a laptop, e-reader, or portable gaming console. Don't forget to pack chargers and any necessary accessories to ensure uninterrupted use.
