Hospital bag

Was she in for a while?

I went in at 8/9pm having had them baby and was gone by 12pm the next day. One clothes change I think max two.

not really, she had baby at 2am and was discharged the following day in the evening lol xxx

Must have been some leaky nappies and lots of poo or sick?!

I think 4 sounds more than enough?!
I remember my husband just went home at the end of visiting hours and bought back more of whatever we needed the next morning x

yeh she just said she was sick quite a bit. We will stick with what we’ve packed and hopefully be ok 🤞🏻😂

I’ve packed 4, I think I packed 6 last time and only used 2 (2 day/night stay).
I’m going to put some extra aside at home so my husband can grab them & bring them in if needed

I’ve packed 15 but I was in for 4 days last time and got through a lot and plus my husband ended up just grabbing everything and anything to top up supplies even though I’d given him specifics so I’m just overpacking this time x

Oh and pack a spare carrier bag for the dirty stuff so you can keep it separate x

I think I've packed 3 vests and 3 sleepsuits in Newborn and 3 of each in up to 1 month, plus a coming home outfit in each size too.
I was in for 5 days last time but baby was in the incubator so couldn't even wear clothes!

I’ll be doing 3 of each for baby as only live 1.5 miles from the hospital x

oh yes good shout xx

about the same distance as us from the hospital 😂

I’ve got 3 newborn and a couple of 0-1 month sleepsuits. I’ve heard hospitals are hot so don’t think taking vests to go underneath is worth it?

@Charlotte they will still need the layer, and for going home

this is a good point, my midwife kept telling me to take baby’s clothes off as it was so hot in there! (Probably why we only got through 2 outfits)

I’ve packed 3 or 4 newborn and 3 or 4 0-3 incase we have a bit baby!

I'd say 3 or 4 would be enough. If you do end up in longer, at least you're not too far from home.

I followed the NHS guidelines on what to pack and packed 5 of each xx
