Following on from our episode about labour and birth prep, in today’s BONUS episode we discuss all things packing your hospital bag from a midwife’s perspective… and kate has a big realisation that she is incredibly disorganised for this baby’s arrival!

For those who are tuning in for the first time, a little about us…

  • Luka McCabe – founder of Boob to Food, author of Milk to Meals, registered nurse and midwife, as well as mum of 3

  • Kate Holm – naturopath, nutritionist,  clinical director of Boob to Food and mum of 2 (with a third very soon to arrive!)

In this podcast we discuss

  • Why it is helpful to pack a hospital bag and when you might like to start thinking about it

  • Packing a bag for labour, postpartum, baby and also your support person

  • What to pack, the absolute musts and some nice to haves

  • Why having a bag packed is still relevant, even if you’re planning a home birth

  • and so much more…

They are a considered product designed by a real mum, for all those other breastfeeding mothers out there, and we are huge fans.
