Hospital bag lists all disagree and the family keeps buying more

quiet_piano_9065

Due in about five weeks. I have three lists from three places and they agree on nothing. One says six newborn sets, one says three, one says 'as many as you like'. Meanwhile both sides of the family have started shopping, so I now have 14 sets of clothes, two nursing pillows and four packets of the same wipes. What did you actually use in hospital? I'd like to pack only that and let the rest wait at home.

    same situation minus the clothes. we have three baby bathtubs and nobody admits to buying the third. would also love a real list

      second baby for us. last time half the bag came back unopened. the hospital had most basics for mother and baby. ask yours what they give and pack around that

    Ten years back we went with two big bags. Used one. The second one Amma packed 'just in case' came home exactly as it went :) Whatever you forget, somebody at home can bring within the hour. Don't stress the list too much.
