    How many nb nappies to take to the hospital?

    I'm sure it's been asked a million times before, and I did do a search, but couldn't find anything.
    How many nb nappies would you take to the hospital if you planned on using mcn right from the start?
    "Normal" hospital stay here is 48 hours for a vaginal birth.
    I literally live 5 mins away from the hospital, so if I were to run out, it's not really a biggie, I could send DP home to get more, but would prefer to be prepared.
    I just sorted through all the nb sized nappies I have and there are 25 with umbilical snap downs/ dips etc. Would you just take those? Is that too many? I didn't use cloth on DS until he was about 8 weeks, so I'm in the dark a little.
    Thanks!

    Oh btw: they're are 99% fitteds with covers, and a few aio thrown in

    Lauren - I was just wondering the same thing, so I'll be just lurking to see what the others say!

    I would just take 10. I think that would be heaps, if needed just send your DP home to get more but I don't think you will would to.
