Exactly What To Pack in a Hospital Bag, According to Experts (and Parents)

Most hospitals provide swaddles, but The Ollie World Swaddle ($65) is a moisture-wicking, softer swaddle that is easy to use and allows for easy diaper changes — it has an opening at the bottom, so there's no need to unswaddle when you're swapping out a dirty diaper. Another reason to BYO: at the hospital, healthcare experts are on hand to help you learn the ins and outs of things like swaddling, which can be tricky for first-time parents, and it's helpful to get that assistance while using the same swaddles that you'll continue to use when you're back at home, rather than a hospital-issued one, Dr. Diamond says.
