I had heard everyone just leaves their babies in the hospital clothes, so I only brought a going home outfit and one other one. </p> <p>She wore the little hospital kimono shirt with a diaper and swaddled in a blanket the first day, and the nurses kept asking "Oh don't you have an outfit for her?" I felt like a negligent mama so I had my mom run to our house and get some newborn outfits. She ended up wearing zip up sleepers the rest of the time. Next time I'll bring several outfits so I have the option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1796547 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 05:53:51 +0000 Smurfette 1796547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first night just the shirt and swaddle they provided. We dressed her in a sleeper during the day for visitors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1796530 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 02:33:36 +0000 Lolo 1796530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @CHERRYBEE and @Megwag, I am 26 weeks and I am moving back to the UK in 5 weeks or so, good to know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1796334 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:20:39 +0000 regberadaisy 1796334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't put her in our own clothes till we left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1796333 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:19:52 +0000 shopaholic 1796333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly diaper and hospital swaddle until later in the 2nd day. Then they brought us the kimono tops. Our A&amp;A swaddles were so so big on her still. Next time I will bring some kimono tops of our own and small swaddles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1796321 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 20:09:33 +0000 marionberry 1796321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A diaper and swaddled in A&amp;A blankets primarily although some days we did put him in sleepers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795685 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 22:18:00 +0000 ALV91711 1795685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A diaper, hat and swaddled. All we brought was a going home outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795670 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:43:18 +0000 matador84 1795670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both kids stayed in the hospital shirt they provide. It's a tee with a side snap and long sleeved so I loved it! I changed them once for the ride home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795667 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:38:47 +0000 night cheese 1795667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, she stayed in the kimono shirts, diaper, and swaddle for the entire 4-day hospital stay. I brought a pair of pajamas for her but I didn't put them on her until it was time to go home. </p> <p>I've got a bunch of the shirts at home, too, and that's what we've been keeping her in most of the time since we left the hospital a week ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795650 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 21:02:49 +0000 MrsB2012 1795650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mostly kept her in just a swaddle blanket. The hospital prefers you to do that so you can do easy skin to skin while breastfeeding. I did have her in a onsie for a bit but then I think we went back to just the blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795648 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:57:37 +0000 daniellemybelle 1795648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hospital provided kimono style T shirt &amp; hospital swaddle blanket. I brought a couple options for going home outfits but that was it. I felt a little bad when I started to notice that people bring their own clothes to the hospital but y'all are making me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795642 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:50:45 +0000 LemonLong 1795642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO wore this set. The nurses all loved it since the top is Velcro and it was super easy for them to check her. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Stephan-Baby-Organza-Rosettes-Paisley/dp/B00GN6AHIK" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Stephan-Baby-Organza-Rosettes-Paisley/dp/B00GN6AHIK</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795637 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:32:44 +0000 Pepper 1795637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>diaper, kimono snap shirt and swaddle. We didn't change him into the clothes we brought until it was time to go home!</p> <p>ETA: Oh boy, just realized how old this thread is, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795634 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 20:27:45 +0000 Tanjowen 1795634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we went with the hospital kimono shirt and swaddle. We were such a big fan that we bought some for his first few weeks home! It was just so nice to quickly do skin-to-skin with minimal clothing fuss :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795534 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 17:15:53 +0000 Adira 1795534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as you - diaper with the hospital provided kimono shirt and kept him swaddled. We changed him into a onesie and sleeper when we finally came home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795533 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 17:14:53 +0000 artsyfartsy 1795533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diaper and a hospital onesie. We only brought a going home outfit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-1795526 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 17:06:28 +0000 stargal 1795526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just in a diaper and swaddle blankets, most of the time he needed to be in a special lighted suit for his jaundice though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-707795 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:54:42 +0000 MegWag 707795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha ha. Yeah in the US, you get all kinds of "perks" (that, of course you are actually paying for through insurance! ) that we don't get. A couple of footed sleepers and hats would have been fine for us. And yes to blankets. They have some to use while you're there, but you can't take them home and they are pretty much like tea towels anyway.<br /> Let me if you have any other questions. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-707768 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:46:55 +0000 Cherrybee 707768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MegWag: I'm so glad you said that!! I was wondering what "hospital t shirts" were and why I'd never heard of them!!! So I need to take sleepers and blankets with me, right? And hats, mittens and socks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-707755 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:43:47 +0000 littlek 707755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: Same, I showed up and LO was in clothes.. but it was pretty freaking exciting to see him finally in clothes! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-707748 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:41:47 +0000 sarac 707748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My baby was in the nicu for a week, so at first she was just in a diaper and swaddled. After a few days they put her in a onesie, and I remember being pissed that they'd put her in her first clothing and not me. I told them I'd brought stuff, but they said that they don't clean it, so better to just let them use their stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706895 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:46:24 +0000 dagret 706895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto on the diaper, kimono shirt and swaddle. Plus the hat. It was the coldest day of the year when we brought him home in his fleece sleeper...his first "outfit." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706890 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:44:40 +0000 loveisstrange 706890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wore the little mini hospital gown for the first few days because she had a massive canula in her hand and it was hard to dress her. Mostly, she was just in a diaper and swaddled up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706888 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:43:34 +0000 MegWag 706888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't provide clothing here, so our son was in clothes we brought. We had long sleeved onesies and hats and socks. They actually gave us grief about not having him in something that covered his legs even though it was SO HOT on the ward and we had a warm blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706882 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:41:46 +0000 hilsy85 706882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diaper and a kimono shirt, with a receiving blanket around him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706875 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:37:44 +0000 littlebug 706875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Diaper and the kimono shirts, plus the swaddle. We didn't dress him until the day we left, and even then we just added footed pants to the "outfit!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706861 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:26:39 +0000 yellowbird 706861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a diaper and a swaddle blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706860 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:26:07 +0000 matador84 706860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept it lo maintenance in side snap shirts, diaper, and swaddled in a blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-your-lo-wear-in-the-hospital#post-706859 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 07:25:25 +0000 ladyfingers 706859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a diaper or the kimono shirts. When he was sleeping he was swaddled, when he was with me or DH he was doing skin to skin with a blanket over him. </p> <p>I was terrified enough dressing him to leave the hospital! </p>
