Baby things

During the stay in the maternity hospital, everything necessary for the baby (clothes, diapers, etc.) is provided to you by the hospital.

The newborn is provided with diapers and clean clothes.

To take your child home, bring:

• clothes for taking home according to the season. (if desired, clothes for the stay in the hospital can also be used for the newborn in the maternity hospital with their own clothes)

• To leave the maternity hospital and get home safely, take a car seat from home.
