Hi ladies

I was wondering how many vests and sleep suits I should pack in my hospital bag?

Also do I need to pack a towel or does the hospital provide me with one for washing?

FTM and haven't got a clue 🙈

I took my own towels - dark ones because of all the bleeding! You're advised to do this at the hospital I had my first at.

Probably 2-3 vests/sleep suits per day and prep for a few days stay. Probably worth checking re the current restrictions about if your partner can drop more things in of necessary.

I packed 3 newborn vests and babygrows and 3 0-3 month vests and babygrows (although she didn't end up wearing the 0-3 as she was in newborn clothes for about a month).
I also packed my own towel.
Just a tip.. Put all your clothes and baby clothes in sandwich bags and put labels on them e.g. 0-3 month babygrows, bras, knickers, newborn vests etc. That way I (or my husband) could find everything really easily!!
