Blankets to take into hospital?

[Nicky1306]

Just packing the last few bits into the hospital bag and I'm not sure what to take in the way of blankets.....I've packed a swaddle blanket shall I pack a small cellular blanket as well? What's everyone else taking? I know hospitals do provide blankets but the ones I was supplied with DD1 were nasty and really rough! Not something you'd want to put next to a newborn! X x

I am planning on taking one cellular blanket and one woollen pram sized blanket. But I'd love to hear what other people are thinking as well?

I am taking one for the journey home. We were discharged in the evening with dd1 and needed a blanket (or two) to put over her in the carseat as it was feburary. (we decided last minute not to use a snowsuit as it swamped her and we now know they are not reccomended for use in a car seat anyway.)

So in all I will probably take 2-3 blankets mil has knitted a lovely pram blanket which is in the bag already and then two smaller cellular ones incase one gets dirty.

Took cellular/pram blanket both times for in hospital and journey home fir two jan babies, will do this time too.

I am planning on 1 cellular blanket for wrapping in the hospital and a soft popcorn blanket for going home with.
