Maternity Hospital Outfit Sets
Clothing is one of the most important items on any hospital-bag checklist. It's worth preparing 1.5–2 months before your due date so there's no last-minute scramble.
Tunes offers ready-made hospital-bag sets built around what mothers and OB-GYNs actually recommend packing. Choose a set for a boy, a girl, or neutral colors that work either way. Every piece is 100% cotton and arrives in a reusable eco-bag. Wash with a gentle baby-safe detergent and iron before your baby's first wear.
What to Pack for Each Stage
For the delivery room:
- Kimono wrap tops with closed hands (mitten cuffs) and outside seams
- Tie-string hats
- Receiving blankets
For the postpartum ward and going home:
- Coveralls, ideally with closed hands
- Kimono wrap tops
- Long-sleeve snap-front bodysuits
- Pants
- A lightweight hat and a warmer hat
- Anti-scratch mittens
- Booties
One thing that surprises a lot of new parents: hospital clothing doesn't change by season. Maternity hospitals keep a controlled indoor temperature, so there's no need for extra-warm winter pieces — and overheating a newborn isn't good for them either.
Choosing the Right Size
Most expecting parents aren't sure what size to pack, since it's hard to predict in advance. 56–62 cm generally covers it, though your doctor can usually give a more specific estimate based on how the pregnancy has been tracking. If you're still unsure, it's common to pack both sizes — 56 cm is consistently the most popular size for newborn hospital wear.
The Storage Bag
Every set ships in a reusable eco-bag chosen specifically for practical use in the hospital room — the fabric doesn't rustle, which matters when you're changing your baby quietly next to a light sleeper. It's roomy enough to also hold a few diapers and other essentials, and works well afterward as an everyday bag for walks or errands.
FAQ
What clothes do I need in the delivery room?
A kimono top with closed hands, a tie-string hat, and a receiving blanket cover the delivery room itself.
What do I need for the postpartum ward and going home?
A coverall, kimono top, long-sleeve bodysuit, pants, two hats (light and warm), anti-scratch mittens, and booties.
Do I need warmer clothes for a winter birth?
No — maternity hospitals keep a controlled temperature indoors, so standard newborn clothing works regardless of the season outside.
What size should I pack?
56–62 cm covers most newborns; 56 cm is the most commonly used size, and packing both sizes is a safe bet if you're unsure.
