I read through a list on the babycenter site, it recomends 3 sleepsuits & 3 vests. im gonna pack 6-8 nappies, a hat, pair of booties or socks

I think it's different between the UK and the US, but here (us) the hospital supplied diapers and clothing for her while we were there. They also sent us home with a pack of diapers and everything else that was in her room (because they have to throw it out when we leave otherwise, sanitary reasons..) But, we did bring 3 outfits for her some newborn and some 0-3 month things as you never quite know how big they are going to be! We put her in her own outfit for the trip home.

I've put in 3 vests, 3 sleepsuits, 1 little jacket for going home (it's a soft cardigan-like one), scratch mittens, hat, around 10 nappies (will send DH out for more if we end up having to stay any longer than the normal stay of 6 hours). I've put in socks, but am not 100% sure why since the sleepsuits have feet. I suppose in case they're just in a vest at any stage.

I've packed 6 sleepsuits and 6 vests in total. Half in newborn and half in 0-3 xo

I'm brining 10 nappies, I know the hospital supplies them, but i want to have some of mine as I hate having the hospital supply me things. Also bringing a few cloth diapers too (depending on babies size). As for outfits, I got two onzies, and two outfits, one in Newborn and one in 0-3 months... A swaddler, and a blanket for our carseat. Chances are baby will be getting a lot of skin/on/skin contact and mostly be in a diaper with me at the hospital. So not piling up on clothes, if we need extra DH can always stop at home.
