we took 5 sleepsuits in 0-3 and 5 vests, turned out to be an emergency section and a small baby (told i was having a biggy!) so my mum bought us some newborn (which i never realised went up to 9.9lbs in some brands) we probabaly would have had enough if they were the right size for my 5 day stay with a going home outfit too, always best to be prepared!
I packed 3 sleepsuits and 3 vests in newborn size in my hospital bag and then I had 8 of each in another bag, in the boot of the car. We had a CS so were in 5 days and I therefore did need to call for the other bag. I had 0-3 months at home ready, just in case. My LO was 10lb and the newborn size was a good fit, he did lose a little weight, so we didn't need the 0-3 months until about 2 weeks later.
The best advice I can give is be prepared but don't take too much. I had a bag for labour, a hospital bag with stuff in for 1-2 days, then about 6 other bags in the back of the car, all labelled so OH couldn't go wrong. It turned out to be a godsend as we were in longer than expected.
I took about 5 of each I think! I took 2 of each in new born sized, and the rest in 0-3, cause I was told my baby would be about 8lbs full term, and I was two weeks over so expected a big baby! When she arrived she was 6lb 8oz, and the 0-3 stuff we brought drowned her, so I had to get OH to bring more up for me!! My advice would be to do what lawso said and pack other bags to be prepared
