No. You won’t need bibs.

    One or two should be enough…you aren’t going to be there that long.

    You can if you want, I never did. But if you do you would probably only want to pack 1 or 2.

    If you’re breastfeeding, probably not. If you’re not then one or two should do just fine.

    Yeah that would be a great idea about 6 because they dont drink that much milk for them to spill alot of it. Your in the hospital for about 2 days after the babys born. Bit if i was you i wouldnt worry about it to much because the hospital has bibs and blankies and diapers and milk. Good luck ^_^

    No, usually the hospital gives you tons of freebies like diapers, onesies, burp clothes, and receiving blankets.

    Hi there,
    Yeah I would pack 3 or 4, you may have a natural birth planned but when it comes to babies, anything could happen. You could end up spending at least 5 days in hospital if you have a C Section so I would pack a few to last you just in case.
    Good Luck ;o)

    I didn’t bother. I rarely put a bib on my son now and he’s 6 weeks. He’s bottle fed and I usually just put a blanket under his chin like a napkin.

    Depends if you are breastfeeding or not. We didnt ever need bibs until our daughter started on solid foods- but if you are planning on bottle feeding then take some yes, bottle fed babies often spew a lot!

    No, just take a few baby cloths and muslins, specially if u r breastfeeding. My baby did not start wearing bibs until he was 2 weeks-old
    Best of luck, it’s so fun packing up for the big Day!!!!

    No, you’re not going to be feeding your baby anything but breastmilk for about six months! You certainly won’t need bibs in the hospital.

    I used them once I got home to keep her clothes dry from spitting up (she had reflux), but you don’t need them in the hospital…they usually just keep them swaddled in a blanket anyway.

    1st of all, Congrats on your new upcoming baby! How exciting.

    Now, about the bibs - You can. If you do you will only need 2-3, these days you aren’t there very long. It helps to have a bid close to their face to wipe mouth off & protects clothing. If you are formula feeding, formula does stain, so keep bibs handy during feeding, at that age, they drip alot. If you are breast feeding, you don’t have to worry about stains. Breast milk does not stain clothes, but you may want to keep a bib on baby just to keep clothes dry.

    Good Luck!

    I didnt take any and didnt need any so you should be fine without. Plus if you breast feed, shouldnt be much dribble anyway.

    yeah.. just one or two.. if ur formula feeding. If ur breastfeeding, a couple of muslin cloths are useful to stop indecent exposure, and also to clean up if needed….

    If you are in the UK you will need to take everything that your baby will need apart from formula if you aren’t breast feeding. I took a couple of bibs to keep clothes clean, you shouldn’t need more than that :)
