The birth of a child is a real event, for which responsible parents prepare in advance: they pick up furniture for the nursery, toys and, of course, clothes in which the baby will be comfortable and warm. Especially carefully, future mothers try to choose the outfit in which the baby leaves the hospital.
And if in the summer with the selection of a festive set of special problems does not happen, then in a cool and often slushy autumn it is worth considering what outfit will be optimally warm and comfortable.
Ready-made set of clothes or a blanket - which is better to take to the discharge from the hospital
Our mothers and grandmothers were often freed from the agony of choosing sets of clothes for discharge for an infant: it was customary to swaddle newborns, and for the summer it was proposed to take the baby wrapped in a diaper out of the hospital, and in the fall, spring and winter the first holiday outfit was a blanket, warm or easy. Ribbon was used as decoration (for boys it was blue, for girls — pink or red).
In many maternity hospitals, by the way, young mothers are now offered a similar list of things needed for discharge, although beautiful blankets do not go out of fashion: the Duchess of Cambridge, for example, carried the newborn son out of the maternity hospital wrapped in a vintage handmade plaid. However, there is an alternative option - a finished set or envelope.
Since many modern mothers prefer not to swaddle babies from birth, and the fashion industry offers a huge selection of stylish and beautiful children's clothes, it is possible to replace the blanket with a set of things for an extract.
There are both ready-made kits, and independently assembled, depending on the taste and preferences of parents. For autumn weather, manufacturers offer to dress the newborn in a special insulated envelope or overalls. It may be of the following types:
- A classic envelope (essentially the same blanket, but designed for comfortable swaddling of a child, often decorated with ribbons, embroidery, appliqués), can later be used as a rug, covered in a stroller or covered with a baby's legs for walks;
- An envelope-jumpsuit or an envelope with handles is an average variant between a classic envelope and a full-length jumpsuit. Usually it represents the upper part with handles, resembling a jumpsuit, but instead of the trousers on such an envelope is a bag in which the child is warm and spacious;
- Transforming overalls - this is a demi-season overalls, the lower part of which can be zipped up at will in the form of legs or it can be interconnected to get the same envelope with handles;
- Overalls for newborns - a suitable choice for mothers of diapering opponents who want to dress a baby in adult clothes from birth.
One top envelope, blanket or overalls is indispensable: a set for discharge also consists of a considerable amount of things. For example, often for the discharge of babies under the envelope is dressed in a warm "little man" -slip, which allows you to completely close the body of the newborn and does not interfere with movements.
Or you can wrap the newborn in a diaper cocoon under a blanket. Another option - a set of body and sliders or sliders and blouses - it all depends on your desire and favorite things, because the set for a newborn to be discharged must also be beautiful - after all, this is the first elegant dress for your child! And do not forget about socks, cap, gloves, scratches - all these little things are also very important and necessary.
When choosing between a blanket and an envelope or overalls, remember that neither a blanket, nor some envelopes will allow you to properly seat the baby in the car seat. And if you plan to carry a newborn in it, it is better to choose a jumpsuit or an envelope with handles on which five-point belts can be fastened.
Choosing a kit for discharge from the hospital in the fall correctly
In order for the child to be comfortable during the discharge, it is worthwhile to think thoroughly how and in what way you will take the baby, what weather is typical for this time, what forecast the weather forecasters give.
How to choose a set for discharge from the hospital in the fall:
- If the autumn in your region is warm or the birth of a baby falls on the "Indian Summer", you should not buy a warm demi-season envelope or blanket on a padding polyester. It will be enough to buy a beautiful set for an extract from dense fabric, and on top - a light envelope or rug made of loose wool;
- For rainy and wet weather, a waterproof envelope or jumpsuit is needed, and under it choose the set that is suitable for the temperature outside the window;
- Cold autumn weather is not uncommon in our country, and if the temperature outside the window tends to zero, you can safely choose a warm winter sample envelope for discharge - after returning from the maternity hospital, it will be useful for walking.
In general, when choosing a dress for the crumbs, it is necessary first of all to turn to common sense, and at the same time remember a couple of simple tips:
- whatever the weather outside the window, baby clothes should be comfortable, fit and be made of natural fabrics;
- it is better if you choose a warmer set, and not a thinner version: the first weeks of life heat of the children is unregulated and they should not be allowed to freeze;
- In addition to convenience and warmth, a set of statements must be clean, beautiful and delight your eyes. If you are offered to donate a kit to relatives or friends, it would be better if you choose the right one and explain in detail to them exactly which kit to buy and where it is for sale.
How to independently assemble a kit for discharge from the maternity hospital in the fall
Despite the abundance of ready-made options for holiday sets for a newborn, if you want your child to look elegant, it is possible to assemble a set for discharge on your own:
- Surely, there are a couple of beautiful and warm clothes in the harvested dowry for the crumbs that match each other in color and style (for example, sliders and long-sleeved bodysuit in blue tones or a miniature dress for a newborn and warm leggings with socks. Then it will remain for small: choose a comfortable overalls or blanket as the first clothes and stock up with a warm hat (or better two - lower, thinner, and upper, more dense);
- If you know how to sew or knit, for the fall a set of clothes for the baby, sewn or knitted with your own hands, is very suitable. Choose warm and soft material or yarn, find your favorite pattern or pattern, and go for it! This outfit will be doubly memorable, because you, mother, made it with love with your own hands! By the way, a blanket for discharge (if it falls on a warm period of autumn) or an elegant envelope can also be tied up or sewn independently.
Whatever kit for your baby you choose, you should definitely wash it before using and smooth it smoothly. Save the first real weekend outfit for memory - this is one of the most touching things related to his (or her) birth!
