Hi all!

Just wondering how much you packed in your hospital bags? Mine seem to be overflowing I've already packed 2 mini suitcases and looks like I'll be needing another!!!

How many sleepsuits and vests etc did you pack for baby? I think I've gone a little over board Shock

I've got a changing bag for baby and a hand luggage sized case for me

1 X pyjamas
1 X nightie
Loads of huge pants
Packet of maternity pads, packet of nipple pads
Bras
Towel
Thin dressing gown
Outfit for going home in (jogging bottoms and sweat shirt)
Toiletries

If I have a complicated birth/have to stay a while, I'll send DH home for more supplies.

Baby bag

3 sandwich bags which contain a sleepsuit, vest, socks, hat
1 X thicker outfit for wearing home
Blanket
Ready feed (incase I struggle with breast feeding)
Muslin cloths
20 X nappies
Wipes
Bum cream
Fold up changing mat

Once again, if I need more supplies he can go and fetch them. We live 10 minutes drive from the hospital.

I've just about finished mine and I think I've gone a tad OTT I hate packing at the best of times so this has stressed me out. Hate to think I've forgotten something!
I have a small hand luggage suitcase, a hold all for baby stuff and a gym bag for the hubby but it's all overflowing haven't even attempted to try and zip up yet.
