Another thread on hospital bags...

[Shawla92]

36 weeks today and have most of my hospital bag packed but keep questioning the amount of and what size of baby vests and sleepsuits to pack.
Any advice?

I've got three of each, in 0-3 months. But my son was 10lb 6oz and I've never stayed in hospital longer than 24 hours after birth so to me that feels like plenty. My hospital still have decent visiting hours from 8 til 8 for one person on post natal, so if we do stay longer my oh can bring more.

Three sets of first size and three sets of 0-3. A set is a vest and baby grow. I figured that would do until DH could bring more if we needed. DD was 8lb 2 and wore first size.

I have small babies so I pack 2 early baby (up to 5lb) layettes (baby grow with built in scratch mitts vest hats and bibs ) & one early baby cardigan just Incase they are very tiny , then 4 tiny baby layettes (including bibs and hats) with 2 cardigans and a thick blanket warm cardigan and outdoor hat for coming home x I would pack 2 sets of tiny baby and 4 sets of newborn unless you are predicted a small baby then switch to more tiny baby but still bring newborn just Incase x I wouldn’t bring 0-3 it’s highly unlikely youl need it x I love doing my hospital bag I’m pregnant with my 4th baby it’s my favorite thing to do while pregnant 😂x congratulations on your impending arrival, make sure you pack a very good lip balm ! x

Thank you all for the advice :) lots of lip balm packed away and I've opted for newborn size vests and sleepsuits as I've had no worries from midwife indicating a smaller or larger baby so far :)
