My neighbor birthed at the same hospital I will be. She said the baby kept getting cold so to bring warm pajamas…how many pairs do you think I will need? How many hats? What else should I pack for him?
Thanks!

LOL, i packed 4 outfits with my son… he never wore any… the hosp gave him a out fit every day he was there, and then he went home in there outfit. so he never even wore his “going home” outfit
with this baby, i will take 1 sleeper outfit and a warm blanket as it will be very cold when shes born

They kept me in the hospital for 24 hours after my son was born . They do have clothes and hats there, but I brought 3 outfits and one hat. I only used the take-home outfit. If you’re planning on staying longer then bring 3 and someone can always bring you more if you need them.

All the baby needs is one outfit to go home in. The hospitals in the US provide everything the baby will need until you are ready to go home. If your baby is cold they can put another blanket on your baby.
My hospital let you adjust the temp in your room, but either way they did give us a stack of probably 10 blankets in the closet of the room and we used 2 to swaddle our daughter to keep her warm.

You only need an outfit to take him home in. The hospital provides clothing, diapers, blankets. You can choose to bring your own clothing for him to wear. Figure 1-2 a day. If all goes well he’ll only be there 3 days – bring 5. One hat.
Like I said, you don’t really need to pack anything for him except stuff to bring him home in. The more you pack the more you have to take with you, keep track of, and then bring home. If he messes his clothing the hospital won’t launder it for you – so you’ll have to take home old-dirty clothes. OR the hospital will mistake your outfit for one of theirs and you’ll lose it.

With both of my boys I brought two outfits (1 for pictures and 1 to go home in) the hospital will provide hats, blankets, and shirts while you are there.

I packed one footsie pajama and than also 2 pairs of baby pants and 3 onesies, 1 baby hat, and 1 pair of socks and 1 pair of baby shoes/booties, and also a baby blanket.
I packed a few onesies and pants because they take your babys photos at the hospital for there first photo and u want something cute
I took clothes just for the newborn pictures and going home outfit. I had a friend that brought me a big bag of clothes while I was in the hospital so I had more than enough. They give you little shirts and blankets, but it’s always nice to see them in their cute little outfits!

If you’re in the U.S. the hospital provides all that baby needs. You just need to pack a going-home outfit.
