Hospital Bag Essentials

We went for the hospital tour for TMC before and I think was told that we do not need to bring anything for the baby as TMC will be giving us the newborn essentials and there will be some goodies for the baby to bring back. We can still bring formulas or diaper if we choose to. See below for some guidelines.
