(Going home outfit - if you're bothered by that - both mine just went home in babygrows)
@jessie23xx I took 3 vests, 4 babygrows. I came home with 1 clean vest and 1 clean babygrow. I had her at 10.37pm and went home at lunchtime the next day if that helps.
As @lisao9313 says i also took flips flops, I didn't bother with slippers or a dressing gown etc as hospitals way too hot.
Don't forget your phone charger, notes if still paper form, magazines, snacks etc xx
@jessie23xx are you breast of bottle feeding? Remember formula if bottle feeding. Most brands do the premade bottle packs with the disposable teats. My hospital don't provide bottles or sterilisers anymore so have use the disposable ones x
@kerryy23, I’m going to be bottle feeding, so I will buy the pre-made starter packs! I will be taking my flip flops also, as I don’t really wear slippers anyway!
Thank you! It helps a lot to have some thing infront of me to go off🤣xx
I packed both mine by about 30 weeks then re packed it again at 35 weeks
