Baby Clothes
Hi Ladies,
Well I have now washed all of of the baby's clothes and the sheets/blankets etc. Just been going through everything as we were given a lot of clothes from a friend who's daughter only wore them once or twice, some not at all, and are of varying sizes from newborn through to 6-9months. I've decided to put everything bigger than 0-3 away in boxes under the cotbed, but now I'm looking at what we have I don't know that we have enough!
How many vests/sleepsuits do you have in newborn and 0-3? I've packed 6 vests and 6 sleepsuits plus an additional one to use for that first one as midwife said that will need changing after a few hours and I'm looking at being in for 2-3 days. This only leaves me with 3 more sleepsuits, 4 long sleeved vests and 2 short sleeved ones at home with just a few little outfits. Do I need more stuff?!
Looking forward to hearing your opinions ladies! x

Just thought I'd let you know what we had before baby came along.
We didn't find out the sex of our little girl at our scans, so I only bought neutral babygrows. Matilda was 8lb 3oz at birth and we had:
8 newborn sleepsuits
10 newborn short sleeved vests
10 0-3 sleepsuits
10 0-3 short sleeved vests
This was plenty. She was in the newborn stuff for about a month - 6 weeks (she did lose quite a bit of weight in the first week though so I'm sure that extended it).
I didn't buy any outfits as I knew when people knew whether she was a boy or girl & came to visit they would bring things - they brought loads!
I stayed in hospital for a week after the birth, and as I didn't have much to do or keep me occupied I didn't have many nappy leaks that week as I was changing her all the time lol.
We only used sleepsuits for dressing her for the first couple of weeks, easy for us and comfy for her, I would say you can never have too many and if you are unsure about having enough just get an extra pack of sleepsuits and vests - you may find keeping up with the washing tricky in the first few weeks with baby.
Good luck ladies... makes me broody thinking you're all getting ready for new bundles
