A NEW mom just reminded her fellow parents that they are allowed to take all the diapers and baby things in their hospital rooms after giving birth.
This is especially useful for those parents who had no idea their baby would come when it did.
Karla, who just gave birth to her second son, shared on social media: “Hospital hack: take all the diapers and wipes they give you and always ask for more of everything!
“Take it all! It’s yours!”
In the video, she could be seen packing all the extra diapers they had left in the room.
Many new parents either have no idea the extra diapers and wipes are available and simply think that if they leave them behind, they won’t get charged for them.
However, a labor nurse replied to the video and said: “Yep, I work in a hospital – they’re going to bill you for it even if you leave it so TAKE THAT STUFF!”
And a second one claimed: “If you don’t take them we have to throw them away even if they aren’t opened, at least at my hospital that’s what we are told to do.”
A few other mamas also agreed that they did this when they gave birth.
One mom wrote: “Nurses would always say to take it and would bring me more. And formula when I left.”
A second one commented: “My nurse literally handed me a bag full of formula and diapers.”
And a third said: “When I left, the gift was diaper bag formula and two bags of pampers. I wasn’t billed for that.”
Previously, a mom who was just 25 weeks along, revealed she had already stockpiled for the arrival of her baby.
On Tiktok, she showed the mountains of baby products she has stored in a room filled up to the ceiling with diapers, wipes, and clothes.
She wrote over the video: “What we have so far…
“We’ll be 25 weeks tomorrow,” or 6 months, she explained.
Audio played over the clip said: “Tell me you’re prepared for your baby without telling me you’re prepared for your baby.”
In another Tiktok, she went through what she had, as she filmed a tall pile of wipes, nappies in all different sizes, and a table full of baby wash products.
Hanging up in their packaging were some hooded bathrobes, boxes of bottles, and dummies, shelves of shoes and boots, and then an entire rack of clothes from newborn to age 3-6 months.
She had even made another rack of clothes for when her son is older, and he has a pile of books too.
Daja said they had a diaper raffle at their gender reveal where each box of nappies they were gifted was given a raffle number.
