Please limit the size and number of toys and games - storage space is minimal, and there is a risk that they might get lost or broken. Please label all personal items. Hospital gowns and pajamas are provided, although children might feel more comfortable in their own pajamas, or in loose-fitting clothes such as a sweat suit. A bathrobe is advisable, as are slippers. Plan to bring your favorite toiletries, including a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and shampoo, and a hairbrush or comb, although hospital-brand items are available.
Diapers are available at the hospital.
Unless requested by your physician, please leave all medications at home. If your child uses eyeglasses, hearing aids, crutches, braces or other corrective aids, please make sure to bring them with your child to the hospital. Again, please remember to label all personal items, and that Temple Children's cannot be responsible for lost valuables. Child Life Staff often have a portable stereo or video games for loan, along with video players and a supply of age-appropriate videotapes. All Rights Reserved.
