I never bought 0000, they weren't really available when I had my first daughter in 97. I just stuck with 000 mostly. Laura was a big baby, and couldn't even fit into some 000 when she was born(she was too long!). So don't go crazy buying heaps of 0000 and 000 unless you were a tiny baby yourself (and your hubby). I really think YOUR weight as a baby and your hubby's weight as a baby plays a big role.

I could go through 3 outfits in one day if she puked on them or the nappy leaked. Doesn't hurt to have more than you need. And make sure you have lots of wipes. That first poo is like black tar!! Not easy to get off! Baby lotion is good too.

I packed singlets and jumpsuits and a little going home outfit. But I only stay about 2 days as I have had kids before. If you are a first time Mum you could be there 5 days or more (esp if you have a caesarean). Maybe leave another little bag of baby clothes at home for your partner to bring in just in case you need more if your stay seems to be longer than normal (for whatever reason).
