Newborn blankets for hospital

What type of blankets (if any) are you taking to the hospital? Been given my c section date and it’s end of July. I’ve got two soft muslin blankets and two cotton receiving blankets packed. Surely that’s all I’ll need? Not even looking at packing fleece blankets.

Honestly our hospital used their own blankets to wrap babe in and I only used mine once she was ready for discharge. I took a knitted one and a fleece one with my daughter as well as a cellular but she was a winter babe. This time I’m taking a muslin blanket I definitely didn’t need or use half the stuff I packed last time round!

@Aimee thank you! I’ve just heard my hospital give you nothing so I don’t want to assume 😂😂😂 Think I’ll just stick with what I’ve packed.

@Samantha no problem at all. It’s hard when you don’t know what your hospital will or won’t provide. Better to be prepared than not!

Mine asked us to take in cellular blankets/muslin type material and no fleece blankets as that time of year baby could overheat xx

Mine say cellular blanket x

I’ve been told cellular blankets

Just found my hospital’s list - just says “blankets” but then I’m thinking where is summer anyway??? Maybe I need to pack long sleeve vests instead of short sleeve ones with the way the weather is 😵‍💫

I used their hospital ones they were fab and even sneakily took a couple home 🙈 I had my baby last July and he wore nothing but a nappy and blankets as it was so warm in the hospital

I used the hospital blankets, and took one home for her memory box 🥰🥰

I’m bringing my own cellular and warm blanket and see how it goes !
