Probably a stupid question, but…

What is the difference between a sleepsuit, bodysuit, babygrow?! Also vests, do they need to be short sleeved, no sleeves or long sleeved? I am so confused about what to dress little man in when he arrives! 🤯
How many sets of clothes is everyone taking to the hospital? And what does that consists of? Sleepsuits, etc (once I know what each thing is 😂)
FTM in case you hadn’t guessed…!

Yes I'm thinking the same, is a sleepsuit a specific thing in its own right or is it the same as a babygrow 🤷‍♀️ 🙈

Sleep suits and baby grows are essentially the same thing, then a bodysuit is a vest with arms !

I have longsleeve and short sleeve for winter, then vests for when it’s warmer. They say to dress baby in one more layer than we have on, so during the winter a longsleeve bodysuit, baby grow and then a cardigan/jumper 🤍

I’ve also packed x3 longsleeve bodysuits, x3 sleepsuits in size newborn and then the same in 0 - 1 month for the hospital xx

I think there’s just short sleeve or long sleeve vests (I preferred short with my first born so the arms don’t get bunched up under the baby grow), and baby grow/sleepsuit are the same thing in my opinion! X

Don’t it does my head in

Vest = short sleeve and legless body suit
Body suit = long sleeve and legless body suit
Sleep suit = long sleeve with legs AND feet body suit
Grow bag = like a sleeping bag but has holes for arms to go through


Baby grow I would say is just a general term

Queue for someone to say I’m wrong when I finally thought I’d nailed it 🫠🫠🫠

And for a general outfit you can either dress them up up (in like dungarees) but I’ve double checked and it will be normal for feb born babies to just live in….

Vest + sleep suit in the day.

Friends say it’s just easier but obv dress them up in cuter outfits if you have the energy

Not stupid they don’t make it easy do they! Haha

As others have said vests I’ve got long sleeve and short for winter and no sleeve for winter.

Sleepsuit and baby grow basically the same thing.

Babies need one more layer to what we wear so if you’re wearing a top leggings and cardigan they need a vest baby grow and cardigan etc.

For hospital I have 3 vests and sleepsuits in tiny baby and the same for new born. I do have another thicker outfit for coming home which I will just put on top x
