Hi everyone,

Due to go in for a c section in over 2 weeks time - I had one last year(!) but it was all last minute regarding sorting my hospital bag out, so I completely forgot what I took in terms of outfits! (Wish I had made a list now).

I’ve got an outfit sorted for when he’s born and for when he comes home, but how many vests / sleepsuits would you pack for in between during the stay in hospital? Looking to be out in 24 hours like last time if all things go to plan!! 🤞🏻 Was thinking 3 vests & 3 sleepsuits?

This is my list for the baby’s stuff if anyone can spot anything I’ve missed:

Pack of nappies
Pack of wipes
Nappy bags
Coming home outfit
Outfit for when he’s first born
3(?) sleepsuits, 3(?) vests
2 packs of first infant ready made bottles
2 blankets (1 cellular for the cot, 1 warmer one for coming home in as it will be freezing)
1 cardigan
2 hats (cotton one for when he’s first born as they don’t provide them, a warmer one for coming home in)
Couple of muslins

Don’t need mits (thank god as they never seem to stay on anyway), as the sleepsuits are integral.

Thank you! Grin

That’s pretty much what I’ve packed too 👍 I’ve put cotton wool instead of wipes though x
