    What did you wear in the hospital

    I don't own any PJ's and don't really want to buy any just to wear for a few days in the hospital let alone PJ's which are 3-4 sizes larger than I will be wearing in the future. So I was wondering what you wore in hospital after bubs was born? I was thinking to just wear trackies (or my dh's if I don't fit into mine) and perhaps get around in my warm fluffy robe.

    In hospital i wore shorts and a singlet with my light dressing gown (summer obviously), theres no reason why you can't wear trackies a t and a robe... whatever your comfy in.
    Just remember you will bleed a bit so i'd suggest not wearing and favourites JIC...

    At night I wore PJs and during the day I wore my regular clothes and got dressed.

    We live in north queensland so I don't know if it also to do with the weather but the maternity ward here has the temp turned up to keep the newborn babies at a good temp which means it can feel really warm in there. Track pants might be a bit on the warm side here (unless they were light fabrics), but we have winters that average 20*C so it might just be here ...

    I bought a really hilarious old nanna style nightie which buttoned at the front. It was super cheap at Target (any wonder when you see it, LOL!) but it was comfy and made breastfeeding and engorgement a lot easier to deal with. I only wore it at night though.

    During the day I wore comfy trackies (the ones that have the waist band that folds over as I'd worn them while pregnant - kept my huge belly warm!), Bonds maternity singlets, a fleece jumper and slippers. I had my dressing gown which was great at night as it always seemed quite cool in our room and I was up and down a lot with DD and fed her in the lounge in the nursery a couple of times.

    Best of luck!

    I mostly wore pjs for the time I was there. Specifically bought for the bleeding/leaking/messes (cheap!). And some dodgy old trackpants I had been too softhearted to throw away previously.
    I wasn't huge on appearance. Lol!

    What did you wear in the hospital

    I bought some black jammies from target that had loose pants in a stretch cotton and a cardi style top that tied in the front in the same fabric. It also came with a singlet but I wore a bf singlet. It looked nice, was comfy and didn't show any stains

    I wore my black yoga pants and singlets with DD and with DS the same with a cardi on top. The first few days with DS I actually just wore a cardi on top rather than with a singlet so all I had to do was pull out my booby to feed him, lol! At night I wore button up pj's but I do wear pj's at home anyway. I would reccommend things that are easy to bf in if you plan to bf or express at all.
