🔴 BAG A: DELIVERY ROOM

🔵 BAG B: POSTPARTUM RECOVERY
(Essentials for your bedside recovery stay)👩 For Mom (Physiological Support & Colostrum)
👶 For Baby (Minimalist & Umbilical Cord Protection)
👨 For Partner (Co-Regulation & Support)
⏱️ Partner's Delivery Room Assistant
Start this timer when entering the labor ward. The app will remind the partner of evidence-based actions to help mom release Oxytocin (anti-stress and lactation hormone):
🟢 BAG C: DISCHARGE (GOING HOME)
(Leave in the car or at home, collect on discharge day)Items NOT to Bring (To Prevent Nipple Confusion):
Do not pack bottles, infant formula, or pacifiers. Introducing artificial nipples too early in the hospital alters baby's jaw mechanics, increases the risk of breast rejection, and hinders natural colostrum secretion. If a medical supplement is clinically indicated, the hospital will provide sterile spoons or cups.
