How do you know what size 'coming home outfit' to pack?

I've seen loads of people showing their cute (expensive looking!) Coming home outfits for their baby.

My question is, what if your baby is big and the outfit is too small or vice versa?

In my hospital bag I've packed 3 sleepsuits that I'll potentially bring him home in, one that is up to 7lbs, one that is up to 9lbs and one that is 0-3 months. (Just incase!)

Even with the prediction they can be up to 2lbs off.

I have friends who had babies that completely skipped the newborn clothes stage cus they were too big! My colleague was predicted an 8lbs baby but she was born just over 5lbs....nothing fit her!

Do you add a couple of sizes extra just incase or are you confident this will fit your baby!

(I guess if it's too big this is okay because it will just be a little loose....)
