BABY

As all babies are individuals, we suggest you dress your baby in their own clothes. We recommend the use of woollen clothing, not acrylic. We supply disposable nappies for you to use during your stay.

•  Jackets

• Shawl or blanket

One car seat is needed for transferring or on discharge.

The car seat is to be arranged with Plunket or another provider prior to birth. It is a good idea to book this about half way through your pregnancy, so you get the model you prefer.  Pick up one week before birth.
