I've heard that when you are at the hospital they basically put a tag on everything! diapers, wipes, our lady products and any thing extra... has anybody found that this is true? The people I've heard this from couples who gave birth to their kids atleast 8 years ago, have things changed? is it all included? Just wondering If I should just bring my own supplies because I'm guessing that walmart is going to be alot cheaper than what the hospital wants to charge.

My hospital spells out exactly what they give you (down to the number of mesh panties).

Maybe yours will provide similar information? I have no idea what would happen if I need something that's not on that list...

They didn't charge us for supplies. I even got some random extra things to help with nursing, like a nipple shield which was $12 in the lactation shop, but free for me since the nurse in the hospital gave it to me.
