What do I pack?  

I'm a ftm and due in 6 days so just checking over everything again.

In babys bag I have 4 newborn size vests (short sleeves, bottom poppers), three hats (two cotton, one wooly for coming home), four pairs of socks, four pairs of mittens, three sleep suits and two pairs of bootees, a pack of newborn nappies, packet of wipes and a blanket (to put on car seat for taking baby home).

In my bag I have my toiletry bag, some breast pads, maternity pads, two nursing bras, one pair pjs and slippers. 4 pairs big pants and socks, one pair of leggings, two maternity  t-shirts and a vest top and a cardigan.  

Anything else or have I already packed way too much? I'm in the UK so the hospital doesnt supply us with anything. We can stay anythin from 6 hours - 3 days if a straightforward birth, and I plan on being in a couple days if possible x

Take snacks if you need to just in case the cafeteria is closed and you're not able to get anything to eat right away. Good luck

We get cellular blankets in the hospital to cover baby while sleeping, although they go back to the hospital laundry to be cleaned for the next baby lol. Its about the onky thing they supply. We have to take our own nappies and wipes etc,  x

I would say more blankets to wrap bub in while he or she us sleeping. Or is that the same as what you call the Muslin squares? Otherwise you seem more organised then I ever was with my first or this time round. :) but my hospital supplies everything apart for clothes for me. Lol good luck not long now

What are receiving blankets? Is that an American phrase? I have just one blanket in my bag, to put on when in car seat. Like I say I am a ftm so still getting used to everything. I need to buy some muslin squares for after feeding, x
