In the hospital, do you put a short sleeved vest under the sleepsuit?

It is warm but tiny newborns get cold really fast. I had mine in a short vest, onesie and a double folded cellular blanket,kept her hat on that they gave her for the first 24 hours aswell xx

Defo pack vests. Our recovery ward was chillier than our last recovery ward (with my first born) so I was really glad we had long sleeved vests with us. I’d pack both short and long sleeve for both eventualities. Newborns get cold super quick so it’s better to be prepared 😊

We used a short sleeve bodysuit under a sleepsuit. I had got a blanket with me but we used the hospital ones - at least double folded. They also insist they wear a hat to begin with, though the hospital gave us one of those as well x

Thank you! And what size of muslins? Regular? I've got some that look 'normal' and then some that are huge. Maybe the big ones are for swaddling? 🤔

I had him in vest sleepsuit blanket they gave me a blanket i had and a towel thing they also put him in and when they first took his temp they still said it was slightly low. Its such a shock them coming out into the world and get cold VERY easily.

We didn't actually use any muslins in the hospital, but normal size should be fine. I can't believe how many we get through now we're home though! x

Yes on the ward they say to make sure they have vest and sleepsuit on

They say they need one more extra layer than us so a vest, sleep suit and blanket is essential xx

It’s boiling at the hospital! No need to put double layers on. Bring a cardigan instead
