Hospital bag

Hospitals can be hot so layers are good. I'd take new born size and a 0-3 size. Vest and babysuit and blanket

I think it depends on your estimated growth chart, my son was born 6lb 13 and newborn was too big for him, I’m on 3rd centile this time so have packed tiny baby and newborn. I’ve also taken short sleeve for in hospital as it’s warm and long sleeve to travel home with

My first born was 8lb (70th centile) and in newborn for a couple weeks then in 0-3 from about 2-7 weeks old. I had packed newborn and 0-3, this time im only packing newborn but have a bag of 0-3 ready to grab if needed (im having growth scans so have a rough idea of babies weight and can see they are under 10lb)

I have sleepsuits, short sleeve bodysuits and one long sleeve bodysuit for going home. Theres also a blanket and 2 cardigans packed

I have 2 sizes of newborn (7.4lbs and 10lbs). My 0-3 are mostly 14lbs so I won’t bring any of that to hospital. Agree it’s hot in hospital so short sleeve vest, baby grow and blankets x

0-3 is big for newborns if your worried about baby being big I would take up to a month as well as newborn but you will probably just use newborn x

You’re better packing multiple sizes.. although I’ve primarily packed 0-3 - my baby is expected at a minimum of around 7lb though, with a top estimate of 11lb! And my first was quite long (57.5cm).. I am however, putting a small bag together of first size also just in case..

I’d also take stuff you can layer.. I’m taking short sleeve vests for in hospital, and then long sleeve for when we’re coming home in case it’s chilly.. x

this sounds good I've only bought 0 to 3 months baby was estimated 4.4 at 32 weeks 43rd centile ill defo buy some newborn and up to 1 month and have a bag ready of 0 to 3 months incase . Thankyou do we need to pack nappy cream with nappies also how many outfits would I need ? No

I’m curious about hospital bags in general - so following this thread. Thank you to all ❤️

I’ve packed 3 nb bodysuits 3 0-1 bodysuits and 2 0-3 bodysuits just incase x

Take both sizes. You don’t know how big baby will be. Also baby will most likely be naked a lot of the time in the hospital but when you live you’ll want long sleeve. And maybe an announcement photo outfit. I’d bring a softer warmer blanket for covering in hospital and even when you leave.

Also Do we need a pramsuit for going home in ? As it will middle of december so thinking if its too cold out

I took newborn which is up to 7.8lbs and then up to one month with is up to 10lbs. 0-3 will be too big for a newborn! If you’re going home in a car seat you can’t wear any thick layers so a nice blanket to go on top will be good!
