6 Reasons to Pack Little Sleepies in Your Hospital Bag

6 Reasons to Pack Little Sleepies in Your Hospital Bag 6 Reasons to Pack Little Sleepies in Your Hospital Bag

Congrats, mama! You're finally in your third trimester, and having a baby is starting to get real. That means it's time to start putting together your hospital bag with all the essentials you and your newborn will need in those first few days away from home.

From newborn swaddles to coming home outfits and cozy PJs, our buttery soft bamboo baby pajamas and family matching pajamas will keep you and your little one comfortable during those first precious days at the hospital.

Here are six reasons why you should pack Little Sleepies in your hospital bag.

 

Gentle on Newborn Skin

Nothing is softer or more sensitive than newborn skin. To prevent more irritation to their sensitive skin, dress your baby in breathable, hypoallergenic fabrics like bamboo. Our Lunaluxe® Bamboo is buttery soft and won't irritate their delicate skin. It's also temperature-regulating, so it'll keep them cozy if the hospital room is chilly and cool if it's warm!

 

Designed for Easy Diaper Changes

Newborns go through a lot of diapers, and having easy-access outfits will make a world of difference. Our bamboo baby sleepers (aka Zippies) feature a double zipper that allows you to change your newborn's diaper without completely undressing them. Similarly, our Infant Gowns feature an envelope fold-over sweep that makes diaper changes a breeze.

Featured Style: Blue Rainbows Zippy

Prevent Them from Scratching

Since your little one can't quite control their hands yet, this can lead to them unintentionally scratching their face. To prevent scratching, our infant sleeper gowns and Zippies have foldover handcuffs that turn into mittens. This way, you can be sure your little one will stay scratch-free!

 

Capture Precious Matching Moments

The first photos with your baby are absolutely priceless. The only thing that could make those precious moments even sweeter is matching PJs. Our Mommy & Me Collection is perfect for capturing those early memories — from hospital photos, to introducing your little one to family and friends, or simply cuddling up and enjoying those sweet newborn snuggles.

Featured Styles: Blue Cookies & Milk Two-Piece Pajama Set & Zippy

Create a Special Sibling Connection

Welcoming a new baby into the family is a big adjustment for older siblings. One way to help ease the adjustment is to create a special bonding moment between them and their new sibling. Let them pick out a set of sibling matching pajamas and watch the cuteness unfold when they meet each other for the first time.

 

Comfy & Convenient for You

Packing Little Sleepies in your hospital back isn't just about newborn cuteness — it's about comfort and convenience for you, too! Made from our signature Lunaluxe® Bamboo, our Women's Pajamas are stretchy and oh-so soft, making them perfect for postpartum recovery.

Our Women's Pajama Tops and Women's Gowns also feature a henley style snap-front placket for easy nursing access. We also have Women's Nursing Tops designed specifically for easy nursing access. That means you'll never have to sacrifice comfort for convenience.

Featured Styles: Luna Neutral Zippy, Black Two-Piece Pajama Set, Black Women's Robe

Your Little Sleepies Packing List

Since you can never be quite sure what size your newborn will be when they arrive, we recommend packing a few different options.

2-3 Zippies — Pack a selection of sizes, including preemie and newborn, so you have something that fits to bring them home in

1-2 Infant Gowns

2 Newborn Swaddle Sets

A matching Women's Pajama Set, Nightgown, or Robe for Mommy & Me matching moments at the hospital

We love nothing more than seeing your newborns wrapped up in Little Sleepies. Being part of those special moments and memories means the world to us!

    I’m definitely bringing a zippy or two with to the hospital. I’m undecided if I want to bring a robe or get a gown to match! Love the idea of matching my little!

    All I packed for my youngest baby was little sleepies and I had no regrets! He got so many compliments on how convenient and cute his zippies and swaddles were!

    I didn’t know about LS when I had my first baby back in August, but now that I do, I’ll pack nothing but LS when we have our second. The zippys are so convenient for easy diaper changes and nursing my boy is so easy in my pjs.

    Little Sleepies would’ve been PERFECT for my petite girl born at only 5 lbs – I found them when she turned 6 months but I will definitely be packing these for the next hospital bag in the future!

    I sooo wish I would’ve gotten into the little sleepies game sooner! I would’ve loved to wrap my girl up in a cloud soft swaddle. She would’ve loved it! Baby #2 will surely have the experience because I just love the styles and prints!

    Having a robe for myself was so nice! Swaddle blankets and zippies were perfect for baby too! I have two daughters so anything pink and girly 💕

    (I didn’t know about little sleepies until my 2nd baby) part of her world was my first drop I had ever shopped, I got matching zippes for my girls and I was immediately hooked! If I have a third LS is definitely the first thing in my hospital bag!

    I did not about Little Sleepies until our daughter turned one. I would’ve definitely packed the swaddles and zippies for our hospital bag. We knew at 37 weeks my daughter would be tiny. But we didn’t even know that it could’ve been a 14 day nicu stay. During the nicu time, the zippies would’ve come in handy especially our sweet little one was connected to wires.
    Zippies are must haves just because of the diaper changes and so easy for our daughters sensitive skin.

    My daughter and I had a very scary and overwhelming labor. We had to stay at the hospital for an extra 4 days. I had only just found Little sleepies after being gifted it. I was a first time mom and something as simple as this cozy blanket kept both of us so much more relaxed and comfortable. :) Thank you!!

    I wish I knew about little sleepies when my son was born! Their swaddles so soft and stretchy and perfect for newborns. Their zippys are absolutely amazing and they fit for so long! Our biggest struggle with our son was him growing out of his pajamas and clothing so fast! Our next baby will only be wearing little sleepies!

    We loved little sleepies in our hospital bag, we just had twins on st pattys day! Little sleepies makes it easy for all the hospital checks for mama and baby. We packed our rust rainbows to match our boy girl twins and mama had the nightgown! They’re so stretchy and comfy too it makes diaper changing a breeze

    I wish I had packed a preemie LS outfit for our girl and some matching clothes for me! We ended up with an emergency c section and LS would’ve been so much more comfortable than the gowns they had. Our girl was a little smaller than expected, so she swam around in her newborn Pooh and Friends when we got home. The fold over mittens were great!

    We got a swaddle and now for our second baby and used it for pictures at the hospital! I wish for our first daughter we a would have done the same, so cute and soft!

    I didn’t know about Little Sleepies until after my daughter was around 3 months old. If I were to go back and used LS as an announcement to the world I would have used the oatmeal ribbed with a contrasting swaddle and of course a bow. We are so happy to have found LS now for all our day and night time wear.

    We’re taking lots of little sleepies to the hospital. I know we have all stars, lil rookie, mountain mist, and radiator springs zippies packed. Our little girl will be wearing a radiator springs twirl as well. We have a mountain mist cloud with his name on it for the hospital as well. We love the double zipper for easy diaper changes and fold over mittens to prevent scratches. Our babygirl had to have her oxygen monitored on her foot so the fold over feet would have been amazing with her. Also mamas, don’t forget about yourself! I’m definitely taking my rustic rainbows and Toy Story pajamas but I may even buy a new sleep dress or long sleep shirt to come home from the hospital in. We deserve the soft bamboo comfort too!

    We loved zippies for the hospital. Taking preemie sizes took the guessing game out of figuring out what sizes to pack. My first was only 6lbs 8oz and second was 8lbs 4oz and preemie was perfect! And so soft for sensitive skin

    My son has an upcoming surgery and we have construction packed for him in our diaper bag. It’s his favorite and makes him sooo happy so I’m hoping it’ll bring a big smile to his face.

    We packed daisy daydream crescent, swaddled, and hat in our hospital bag! It was so convenient for diaper changes and honestly made swaddling so much easier! I couldn’t figure out how to swaddle with the hospital blanket but the LS swaddle was so quick and easy! Our baby girl was super cozy and we got a lot of compliments from hospital staff! I wish I would have packed some mama jammies for myself – but definitely will next time!

    I WISH we knew about Little Sleepies when packing the hospital bag! It was not until after we had our daughter that someone gifted us a pair… needless to say we are hooked! The prints are just too cute and the bamboo material is SO SOFT! For our next baby (hopefully soon!) we will be packing a ribbed solid for them. Simple for pictures and still oh so sweet. Who knows, maybe I can even treat myself to some mommy jammies too!

    I loved having little sleepies in my hospital bag! My daughter wore her secret garden gown while in the hospital. It made changing diapers and checking her levels for jaundice so much easier. I wish I had bought myself some cozy pajamas to wear to match her.

    I’m gonna pack suns out for myself and the baby. Then the swaddle is sunny skies, it’s gonna be so cute. I cannot wait !!!! I love little sleepies and would buy something everyday if I could.
