Packed, Prepped, and Ready: Kelsey Parrish’s Hospital Bag Must-Haves

Packed, Prepped, and Ready: Kelsey Parrish’s Hospital Bag Must-Haves

Preparing for your baby’s arrival is one of the most exciting and emotional parts of pregnancy. And because Zomee is created by moms, for moms, we know just how meaningful it feels to check off those final to-dos, including packing your hospital bag. To help simplify that moment, we turned to fellow mom and expectant parent Kelsey Parrish, who understands firsthand how thoughtful preparation can make all the difference.

In her recent video, Kelsey walks us through her hospital bag essentials, focusing on items that help her feel ready, calm, and cared for. When those first contractions hit, you’ll be grateful for a bag packed with the right mix of comfort, practicality, and peace of mind.

Here are some of Kelsey’s top Zomee-approved picks for delivery day and beyond:

Zomee Maternity Compression Socks: Swelling, Meet Your Match

Long hours in the hospital and recovery afterward can leave legs tired and swollen. Kelsey packs Zomee’s Maternity Compression Socks for their 20-30 mmHg graduated compression, designed to reduce swelling and fatigue. Made from soft, breathable fabric with reinforced toe and heel, these socks provide comfort and support during and after delivery.

Zomee Lanolin Nipple Cream: Gentle Relief, Pure Comfort

Breastfeeding can take a toll on sensitive skin, which is why Kelsey includes Zomee’s Lanolin Nipple Cream in her hospital bag. Made with 100% pure lanolin and no additives or preservatives, it’s safe for baby, so no need to wipe off before nursing. This hypoallergenic, dermatologist-tested formula helps restore moisture and heal sore skin naturally, so moms can focus on what truly matters: bonding with their little one.

Zomee Nursing Bra: Support Made Simple

The right nursing bra can make all the difference in those early days of feeding. Kelsey includes the Zomee Nursing Bra for its thoughtful, mom-first design, featuring one-handed nursing clips, a soft and stretchy fit, and a seamless, wire-free design that feels gentle on sensitive skin. With removable padding and adjustable straps, it offers the perfect balance of comfort, support, and convenience when you need it most.

Packing for the hospital can feel overwhelming, but as Kelsey shows, preparation is empowerment. With thoughtful essentials like these from Zomee, you can focus on what truly matters: welcoming your little one into the world with calm and confidence.
