Hospital bag

Hi everyone, I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I've started packing my hospital bag.
I have only packed new born sleepsuits, or would you recommend packing tiny baby/first size/0-3 months so I have every size? Or stick to new born? Really unsure. I've packed 2 first outfit/vests, 2 going home outfits/vests and 3 back up baby grows/vests all in newborn.

Thank you in advance
Lucy ❤️

I packed only a few newborn and mostly 0-3 as we were told my daughter would be huge. She wasn't as big as expected and my husband had to go get more newborn clothes!
I also agree with the above poster about the snacks!
Good luck 😊

Thank you so much for replying back!
I haven't got much newborn stuff other than what I said I've packed. I might buy a few more newborn baby grows, even thou they probably grow out of them so quick!!
I definitely will be packing lots of snacks 🤣

Also, I packed so many pointless scratch mitts, which most newborn babygrows have inbuilt!

@Lucban I'm also 34 weeks and just started putting together hospital bag. Do you mind if I hijack your thread with a related question?

I have a list of stuff in the info from the hospital and though it doesn't mention sizing when talking about sleepsuits and vests, it specifically says 3 hats of different sizes. I picked some cotton ones up yesterday in sizes newborn and 0-3 months - people who've done this before, so you think this is enough hats-wise? I also have some hand-knitted ones from relatives, ...
