hospital bag - how many bb outfits for 2 days?

[purplemurple1]

Thats it really, I've been told typically they keep you in for 2 days with your first, so wondering how many bb outfits/clothes do I need to take with me?

I had three vests and three sleepsuits. Then my DH had to bring more in when needed.
Also they can't keep you in, you could go home after 6 hours providing you and baby are ok. Just putting it out there.

I took 4 vests, 4 sleepsuits and 2 hats per day. Plus nappies/wipes/etc. Plus a "going home" outfit. You probably won't need them all but you don't know how often your baby will need their clothes changed due to sick/poo.

I also packed a second bag with extra clothes for me and baby- you never know exactly how long you'll be in after all, and if you need the extra stuff, you'll be grateful that it's packed and ready :)

My midwife told me six outfits.. In this weather though I think he'll be going home in just a nappy.

DH stays in with me so 4 outfits a day sounds like a good plan, as its a long trip home which I dn't really want OH to have to make for the sake of an outfit for me or bb.

I think the 2 days to is to help with BF so as its meant to be a private family room, I think I'll want to stay and get some sleep. (Unless they are full and I end up sharing.) (I'm abroad so a little diff to the UK procedures.)
