How many babygrows/vests/muslins would you recommend?

Dont over do it with newborn clothes. They only last a few weeks. Babies grow so fast. Get 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, etc. You dont know how big/small your baby will be and if theyre on the bigger size they might not fit any newborn clothes. My son was in newborn for maybe 3 weeks and he wasnt born big, he was average 7.5 lbs. He just grew fast. He was also wearing size 9-12M by the time he was 5 months old. Id say 7 sleepers in each size is a good amount. You can also ask for gift cards so you can buy things yourself later after babys born and youll be able to have a better idea of what you need.

I'm in exactly the same position. I can't stop buying bits but my shower is Saturday and so I better hold off.
I mean they're gonna go through at least 1-3 a day depending on poonamis and wet thru. And I've had 2 kids ten years ago. I still can't remember. I think I only bought like 6 of each

2/3 muslins incade its a sicky baby, 2 outfits then a going home outfit, 2/3 bibs. Think about the longrun for presents: baby shower gel, baby shampoo, nappies, wipes, nappy bags, maybe a nappy bin? Maybe some self care stuff for yourself for the hospital to shower after borth? Maybe a book for baby? Cuddly toys? Dummies? Those little scratch mitts? They recommend not to get baby cotton buds though which is what we stocked up on.. maybe cotton balls for if baby has the little grunge in their eyes, it can last awhile x

Thank you both! I have a big baby shower coming up in a few weeks so I’m holding off. How many vests would you say? I don’t know whether I want to keep washing as I know it will be constant. I feel quite overwhelmed at the moment c

In my hospital bag I’ve done 4 muslins, 4 vests and sleepsuits in newborn and up to one month as he’s potentially going to be too big for newborn and 1 newborn and 1 up to one month going home outfit x

Can never have too many muslins. My baby was quite sick so needed loads tbh x

I overbought on clothes but ended up just re using same ones when theyve been washed! I have about 12 of each now x

Thank you all so much! I want to have a good amount but know they grow so fast, people have been so generous but I really don’t know what I will need x

Ah I feel exactly the same! I had my daughter 7 years ago and can’t remember how much of each item I had 😅
