I preferred singlet suits to just singlets and I used 000's although mine were 8lb 13 and 10 lbs so both only fit into 0000 for one week!!!! Depends how big they are but I would pack a few more suits, one poo or spew and they need a change! Also don't firget that if you need more of something you don't have you can send DH or someone out to get it!
I only packed 000, only cause i had four 8 pounders and one 7 pounder, and my second was 53cm long, so he needed the lenghth, and yeah bonds is quite small compared to other brands.
Once born our hossy dressed my kids in the hossy outfit, once they threw up i then dressed them in my wondersuits, u can never have too much, my kids were spewers so needed changing a lot, but i guess it depends how long u are going to be staying, and like said above, u can always send daddy home to get some more!
Also our rooms were air conned, and freezing so i never packed short sleved stuff, but i had 3 winter and 2 summer babies, i guess it depends what the weather is like where u live?
I think ur list is fine, i usually use the hossy blankets, less to send home with hubby to wash, but took a special blankie that my mum made to take all the kids home in.
My Hospital supplies nightgowns, singlets and wraps to use while in hospital and also nappies (although only pack of 30 usually), so for DD and also this time arround I have packed extra nappies as 30 per baby will not see me through a 6 day hospital stay (c/s) and I also have only packed 1 outfit each for the boys to come home in. Both are 0000 long sleeve long leg all in ones, plus a singlet and hat and socks and bunny rug for each. I have put in the same suit that I brought DD home in - except I have one blue and one white this time instead of the pink for DD - and I know the 0000 should be fine as it fitted DD perfectly and she was 7lb and 50cm so they will be o.k maybe even a little big for the boys.
Hi, I would maybe pack a nappy also to take bubs home in. Did you get a book or list from the hospital giving you a guide of what to bring for mum and bub? Our hospital gives us a book and the list looks like this,
1 cake of soap or liquid bath lotion for bubs
4 nighties or jumpsuits
4 singlets
3 bunny rugs
2 jackets or cardigans - in winter months
1 hat or bonnet
3 pairs of socks/booties
Clothes and nappy to take baby home in
Hope this helps, you list looks good, my due date is tomorrow, but am booked for a caesarean on Thurs, I have packed a few extra of each as I might be there for 5 days, and have a mixture of 00000 and 0000 in both singlets and suits, long and short, my last bubs was only 6lb, and they expect this one to be smaller. Good luck, did you want the list what to pack for mum? I washed all mine before hand and packed in a overnight bag what I needed and the rest put in the cupboard/drawers. I also bought extra toiletries for myself, ie, toothbrush, toothpaste, powder, pads ect, and packed them all, so in case by any chance I did go into labour (lol) I wouldn't be trying to grab stuff from my bathroom cabinet or having my husband worry about it, and maybe not being able to find stuff!!! :-)
ive well and truley overpacked, i have a coles green bag with 00000's and one with 0000's. lol its so hard to tell but u should be right with some ofeach. i also buy premmie beanies in the biggest size because the OSFM size u get at target and kmart ect always swim on newborns heads
If you want to dress bub in your own clothes or your own blanket straight after birth, pack these clothes/rug in your birthing bag so you can get them when bub arrives without having to pick through everything.
ur list sounds fine i am also packing a face washer etc so that i can give bubs a wipe down if need be plus i find people bring up clothes as well so if i end up liking an outfit i normally get mum or mark to wash it and bring it back
ohh can't believe we are all at the 'we better start thinking about packing hospital bags' - yay!!!
All the sizes have changed lol and when I had my DS2 he came home from the hospital in 00's He was 4.4kg and 57cms long. My smallest was 7lb 4oz and she still fitted into the 000 size so now you ladies have me thinking I might need to get some smaller stuff.
Forgot to say also, to answer ur other question, i washed a pillow case in softly with my baby clothes, and put the clothes in there, then into my hospital bag, that way they stayed nice and fresh lol
