General rules for dressing a child for discharge
- When dressing your baby, remember to pack him as you would yourself, but don't forget about extra clothing. Babies are prone not only to colds and hypothermia, but also to overheating. Therefore, focus more on the weather and the season in which the baby leaves the walls of the maternity hospital.
- The first clothes should be chosen mainly from natural fabrics of suitable colors.
- The baby's clothes should always be chosen according to the season so that the baby does not freeze and does not feel hot.
- Try to choose things that are sized so that the child feels comfortable, nothing presses him, does not rub him, and is not too big. Convenience comes first!
Now let's find out how to prepare a child for discharge in different seasons.
What to dress your child for discharge in winter
If your baby leaves the maternity hospital in winter, you should take care of his underwear. The child must be dressed in rompers or a bodysuit with rompers, and must have a hat and socks.
On top it is better to wear a wool or fleece suit, overalls with warm socks (preferably knitted) and a hat. After this, the baby is wrapped in a camel or other warm blanket on synthetic padding, tied with a beautiful ribbon.
But in the modern world, parents more often buy special holiday envelopes for their kids. Usually such envelopes are incredibly beautiful: with lace, ruffles and patterns, but the practicality of such clothing leaves much to be desired. Therefore, young parents give preference to various insulated envelopes.
Warm down envelope
The down will help keep you warm, and the top fabric of such an envelope will help prevent getting wet and blown out, which will keep your baby comfortable. Down envelopes are very practical and suitable for both winter and autumn. In such an envelope the child will always be comfortable and the mother will be calm.
Warm envelope on sheepskin
An indispensable item for the modern mother. Not only will it last you a very long time, but it is also multifunctional. The sheepskin envelope can also be used as a cover for a baby's feet during walks, a warming and comfortable mat for a sled, or as a changing mat.
Jumpsuits
Always practical and convenient. Another type of overalls is transformers, at the peak of their popularity. This is a kind of bag with straps in which the baby can move his legs freely. The same overalls can easily be transformed into pants thanks to a system of locks and buttons.
How to dress your baby for discharge in the spring
In spring, as at other times of the year, the child should be dressed only according to the weather. If it's warm outside, you can dress your baby in cotton onesies and fleece/wool onesies. Don't forget about socks and a hat. Children really like clothes made of cotton fabric; they feel comfortable in them. It allows the skin to breathe and at the same time retains heat perfectly.
The colder it gets outside, the warmer you need to dress your baby. Add blouses, warm onesies, wrap the baby in blankets or blankets. Make sure that all things maintain optimal body temperature. Overheating will not have the best effect on the child's condition.
What to dress your child for discharge in the summer
Summer is a great time to discharge your baby. However, even in the warm season, parents are concerned that the child may catch a cold and begin to dress the baby as in winter. But you shouldn't do this. Considering that infants are prone to overheating, this approach will only provoke the development of problems.
In the summer, it is enough for the baby to wear a diaper, bodysuit, “little man” or a vest with pants. Be sure to wear socks and a hat. Children's clothing stores have a wide selection of summer envelopes. Therefore, if you are a fan of the classics, you can wrap your baby in a festive lace blanket.
Some parents take an extraordinary creative approach and buy their baby original suits and light dresses. Whatever your choice, always remember that the outfit should be made only from natural soft fabrics, so that the baby is comfortable and you feel at ease! At any time of the year, even on hot summer days, the child must wear socks and a hat.
Today, retailers offer parents ready-made discharge kits, which include both standard clothes and unusual fancy suits. These could be tailcoats for boys, or chic dresses for little princesses. At the same time, the cost of such suits is not always prohibitive; more often they are affordable and very comfortable options.
All of the above will help you collect your baby and properly prepare him for discharge. Before clothes touch the child's body, be sure to wash them with baby soap and iron them thoroughly. On store shelves, people touch things, checking the quality, thereby not only dirtying them, but also transferring germs to clothes that can cause allergies and even illnesses in the baby.
