I'm doing mine today to hun!!! Blankets?

 

[kerry5a]

Do you need baby bath stuff? Shampoo etc?

 

[pinkyprincess]

I would've thought the hospital would supply blankets.

I'm not using bath stuff on him when he's new born as it can irritate baby's. Got it all at home ready tho!

 

[Dee83]

I'm not taking bath stuff either. You will need a blanket to wrap him up in when you bring him home wont u?

 

[Dee83]

Are you taking long sleeved, short sleeved or sleeveless vests? I'm thinking long cos of the time of year but not sure as hospitals get hot?

 

[pinkyprincess]

Well he's got a thick snowsuit to cone home in so I thought that'd be enough?
I've got short sleeved vests to go under his sleep suits and I have a cardigan so I can layer but I found the ward very hot when I was there which is why I packed a romper just incase he gets hot which I doubt but
We've had a warm winter so far!

 

[Dee83]

Yeah, i'm bringing him home in a snow suit too. Your prob right but think i will take 1 blanket just incase! Short sleeved vests prob sound best, i will do the same then! Just realised he hasn't got any rompers, just sleep suits! Infact, i've put socks on the list but his feet will always be covered in the sleepsuits wont they
What about booties, r u taking any?

 

[pinkyprincess]

Lol well I had to say that to my MIL as she KEPT buying socks yet he only has 1 or 2 rompers! I prefer sleep suits to them anyway.

No booties not a huge fan I only have 1 pair that was brought for me.

 

[Dee83]

Ok, i dont feel so bad for not havin any rompers now then! Prob a really stupid question but u don't put socks on the baby when they're in a sleepsuit do u? I've only got 2pairs of booties myself, i wont bother takin any either! I'm such a copycat!!!! lol

 

[pinkyprincess]

Lol I've never known of it but I guess if it was super cold and you were going out into it then maybe! But I think as a general rule no.

Have you done your bag? What's in yours?

[Dee83]

Ive hired this one: http://www.naturesgate-uk.com/tens-hire.php I went for the Platinum package for £25.95. I was originally going to buy it but it worked out at £53 including VAT so decided to hire instead.

Defo take one of your blankets Hun, even tho hospitals supply them I fancy they always look dreadful on your first lil baby pics! I cringe when I look back at pics of DD wrapped in a washed out yellow Hosp blanket xx
