Hi
the letter I got regarding my elective only says to bring formula for bubs (if you dont plan on breastfeeding that is) otherwise I assume all the basics are provided... nappies, wipes, soap for first baths, bedding and towels etc... Hoping my assumption is right as all I have for bubs in our bag is clothes and a 'coming home' outfit and balnket to match 
As for us, we need to provide clothing (unless you plan on wearing hospital gowns which would make washing easier when you get home lol) toiletries (includes shampppo, soap, toothbrush/paste and even says pads, so im guessing they dont provide even the infamous 'surfoard' pads) items for personal use (pen, paper, magazines, books, mp3 players etc) and money for parking and giftshop purchases etc... by that i would guess they only provide the 3 meals, and bedding/towels etc... This is all for middlemore by the way, Botany I have no idea sorry, might pay to ring and ask them? ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

thanks for that, I am delivering at middlemore, I guess I will wait to get some info from them as well, but at least I can pack the basics in bubs bag now anyway (still 10 weeks to go)

we were provided with everything for bubs and also the lovely surfboards. The only thing i would recommend you make sure you have is hats/mittens/booties for bubs. ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

Middlemore supplied nappies, and they had pads too. They didnt have wipes though, they just used paper towels, I got DH to bring in some wipes for me.
You will need to bring clothes for baby though as they just put them in a little tie up gown thing. ------------- |

| The only thing I had forgotten to take to Botany were baby wipes! They do supply nappies though :o) |
