It's recommended to prepare your bag and the baby's bag in your 8th month of pregnancy.

How to dress your baby when leaving the maternity ward?
You are now ready for your stay at the maternity ward! But how to dress baby when leaving the hospital? Regardless of the weather, you will need a complete newborn kit or a warm birth outfit, with a hat to cover their head well. Even if it's nice and warm, your newborn is sensitive to drafts and is still chilly. Plan for a soft blanket or a baby nest to keep them warm in their car seat until you reach the car. In winter, opt for a warm sleeping bag and the baby nest in case of severe temperature drops.
For the car, don't forget to bring the car seat or infant carrier. Is the sun shining brightly in the sky when you leave? Plan for car window socks or a classic sun shade to protect your child from the sun's rays during the journey. If you forget this car accessory, no worries, simply wedge a towel, or even better, a muslin cloth in the window.
