Unlike hospital stays in America, there are many items that the hospitals in India do not provide. Here is a list of items we have learned that WE are responsible for bringing when our little one finally decides to come:
- Slippers/shoes for mother
- All clothes for baby (must be washed and ironed)
- Little hats for baby
- Diapers (you can bring them with you or purchase from the downstairs pharmacy)
- Clothes for mother (making sure all clothes are warm during winter months)
- Any other items that are needed/required for mother and baby care that are found in the pharmacy are to be personally purchased: pads, wipes, etc... These are not provided when you need them by the hospital staff. Instead, you are told what is needed and then you are responsible for going downstairs and purchasing them. Again, it is not something they provide that shows up as a charge on your bill at the time of discharge.
