I bought everything in size 3months and up so i washed everything. I think only the NB clothes are grown out of so fast

I would at a minimum make sure you have enough washed for 3 days at home (assuming the hospital provides clothes while there).

We went through at least one sleeper per day at night time plus maybe 1-2 "outfits" during the day. I know others go through a lot more if there are blow outs or spit up.

I washed what I had, which wasn't enough. My washer was tiny, so 3 days worth of clothing was 2 towels, a small blanket, 4 burp cloths and like 5 sleep and plays.

We went through a lot of sleep and plays at that time, largely because we had new parent issues, like not fastening the diapers correctly and not being prepared for spit up.

I washed probably 3 or 4 each newborn and 0-3 sleepers. These were all new. Then nothing else but hand me downs was washed till she got here. She was born in March, so it could have been cold or warm, so I waited even with 0-3 pieces till she was here and knew how big she was.

We went through a lot of outfits ... having at least 5 footed sleepers would be good, a couple pairs of pants and a bunch of onesies would be good.

@MrsCB: Its cold in hospitals so keep the baby warm! Plus, it was nice because for nursing they often recommend taking the swaddle off which wasn't a big deal since she still had the shirt on underneath. And for diaper changes since we were getting the hang of stuff, at least her chest stayed covered and warm while we were cleaning her up.
