Blankets and towels

So I was thrown a surprise shower last week from my students at work! It was so sweet! Anyway, any advice on how many towels and blankets is sufficient? Am going shopping (8hrs away) next weekend and want to get most things I am lacking while there. I have 6 towels so I know I am safe there (Was thinking will I ever use 6 hooded towels!?). I have 5 blankets and 3 receiving blankets. I am sure you can never have enough, just wondered what other moms thought. TIA

    I'm a FTM mom but I probably have like 15 receiving blankets. I kept them all because I won't need to do wash as often and they all had so many cute prints I couldn't resist. Plus you can use them for so many things. I think towels your ok and blankets are always great to have on hand especially different thicknesses for different seasons. We received about 10 of these but most are handmade and I wouldn't want to give those away! GL and have fun shopping!

    That should be plenty. Besides, blankets and towels are common baby gifts from people so you will probably get a few more by the time LO arrives.

    With DD I had 3 blankets, and maybe 5 receiving blankets and it was more then enough. I had a 5 pack of washcloths and about 5 towels and it was fine.  I never ran out.

    Besides, even though the baby is tiny, you will be somehow doing laundry ALL the time. I don't know how we ended up having to do so much laundry with just one extra person in the house!

    I have about 5 towels and 15 receiving blankets (cant get enough use out of those things!) and blankets, I'm going on about 7 blankets right now.  They are SO useful.  I dont swaddle so they are what we actually use when wrapping up the baby for naps, and going out, and sleeping at night.  Have fun shopping!

    That sounds like plenty of towels. I'd pick up a few more receiving blankets. They come in handy.
