🧳 Hospital bag checklist
Pack in advance, for example around week 36, following your maternity team's plan. Check what your own maternity unit supplies.
📋 Documents
Register a Singapore birth through LifeSG within 42 days and download the digital birth certificate. ICA does not register overseas births: use the authorities where the birth occurred and separately check Singapore citizenship, immigration and parentage requirements.
👶 Baby essentials
Confirm what your maternity unit supplies; keep the head uncovered for indoor sleep.
📋 Parent essentials
Confirm the maternity hospital’s assessment route and after-hours number. Arrange newborn follow-up with the hospital, polyclinic or GP, including jaundice review when directed. Public subsidies and MediSave arrangements have eligibility rules; check charges and referral requirements.
