Ask your doctor about your due date before purchasing a discharge kit. For 2-3 weeks before the hour X, look at the weather forecast for that day. From this point on, you can start shopping trips in search of the desired option.

Remember that your baby will go in the car and there will be no cold. Therefore, do not overdo it with the "warmth" of things. Otherwise, you can allow the child to overheat, and this will affect his well-being.
Winter kit for discharge from the hospital

If the day of discharge falls on severe frosts, then try to cover the baby's face with a warm, but breathable cloth. It won't take long to get to the car, but one second of cold air is enough for a newborn baby to get pneumonia.
Summer discharge from the hospital
In summer, everything is much easier than in other seasons.

Scratches can be added to the entire list, since the baby's hands can be free in order to avoid accidental scratches from the nails.

Another important tip: buy clothes that you can wear to your baby in the future. There are practical options - a transforming envelope. The model can be transformed from an envelope into a jumpsuit, which is very convenient when the baby grows up.
Decorations for discharge from the hospital
An equally crucial moment is a meeting from the hospital. Everything should be perfect on this day.
Let's start in order:
- Car. Everything can be purchased at the regular “Everything for the Holiday” store. Stickers "Going for my daughter" or "Going for my son" are still relevant. It's also a good idea to decorate the car with balloons. But do not overdo it, otherwise it will be inconvenient to drive.
- At the exit from the maternity ward. The trend is becoming fashionable - the launch of balloons. To do this, you can contact a specialized organization for decorating with balls. The idea is as follows - a heart-shaped mesh with a special cord. Balls are put into it. At the right moment, someone pulls the string and the balls fly up. Effectively, beautifully, memorable. By the way, do not forget to photograph or video this wonderful moment.
- Decoration of the yard, entrance. The yard is, of course, decorated if you have a private home. There are no borders in the design of the entrance - letters, numbers, balls, congratulations.
- Styrofoam letters. You can decorate the walls of an apartment or the courtyard of a private house. It depends on your fantasies and budget, since such a design is not cheap.
- Child's room. It is better to do without balls here. First, it can burst and scare the baby. Secondly, you don't need extra rustling. For a festive atmosphere, pom-poms made of felt or paper, colorful congratulations or letters made of wood with the name of the baby are suitable. Very often they are hung over the bed of a newborn.
- If the mother and the baby have the strength for a buffet table, then you can organize a CandyBar. In other words, a sweet table. Champagne and sweets in the original performance will be a good end to the holiday.
- At parting, guests can be given memorable gifts... For example, a mug with the date of birth and the name of the baby, a calendar or a chocolate bar.
Your ideas may not be limited to this! Begin with your budget. The main thing is that your baby is healthy!
