Here are some of my must-haves to pack for both my son and myself during admissions
One of the first things in my bag! We have all streaming services at home so the first time we were inpatient, my son was baffled by cable and not being able to choose what he could watch lol
Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote ...
We ALWAYS pack his sound machine. Hospital hallways don't care that it's 3am and we are finally back to sleep, they are still noisy. This helps so much
Dohm White Noise Machines
This egg crate makes those hospital couches more comfortable for sleeping!
Egg Crate Hospital Bed
My son is a toddler so he is always up & playing, even while receiving active treatment. We love having our own playmat while inpatient. No waiting for Childlife to locate one and I know that it's clean
Folding Play Mat
Bring some comforts of home...comfy blankets, pillows, pictures of loved ones. Whatever makes you smile!
BLANKETS – COZYS
Meal delivery gift cards are so nice to have while inpatient! A break from cafeteria food for all
DoorDash

SNACKS! Our list varies depending on what he’s into that week (thanks, chemo taste buds). But we always bring a ton of snacks. Some for me too
50+ Healthy Snack Ideas For Kids
We always bring activities. There are a ton in the playroom, but it’s so nice to also have in my bag if we’re stuck in the waiting room or exam room for a little
Crayola Crayons, Crayon Packs & Boxes
This is kind of a must with long clinic days. There's a lot of sitting while getting hooked up to IV medications/fluids, so we need every tool in our belts to distract
