How to put a newborn on discharge in winter

While still pregnant, the expectant mother thinks about what her baby will be wearing when she is discharged from the hospital. On the one hand, what is there to think about - quickly bring the baby to the car, and then from the car to the house. However, things are not so simple. The child's thermoregulation system is not yet developed - the baby is too small. Therefore, even a short stay in the frosty air can harm a child. Especially if the air temperature is very low. At the same time, overheating for the baby is just as harmful as hypothermia. How to find the optimal balance and dress the child correctly so that he does not freeze and sweat? After all, winter can also be different - from +15 to -30 and below.

Newborn Clothing

Choosing clothes for the baby, you need to pay attention to the material from which it is made. The underwear should be only natural - linen, cotton.From the inside there should be no seams and joints - even a small flaw can rub thin children's skin. Choose bedding clothes - too bright colors can distract and frighten the child. In addition, bright shades are obtained by using a large amount of paint. In case of contact with the body, such poor quality tissue may cause irritation, redness and itching.

Choosing clothes for a newborn to be discharged, you need to follow three main rules. The first is that clothing should be suitable for outdoor temperature. That is, the child should not freeze, but overheating should not be allowed. The second rule - clothes should be beautiful. After all, this is a very responsible and important day - the first appearance of your baby in the light. In addition, you will probably capture this day in photo and video. The third important rule for the discharge of the newborn in the winter - clothing should be practical. When buying, you should be guided not only by the appearance of products. Think about how many days of winter you have left after discharge. Should I take a warm envelope if you are issued at the end of winter? You just do not have time to wear it - next winter the baby will probably walk by himself! All these subtleties and nuances should be taken into account at winter discharge.We will understand everything in order and consider to begin with the bottom layer of winter baby clothes.

Underwear

Depending on the season, only the upper part of children's clothes varies. Body at any time of year remains unchanged. Consider in layers those things that will be needed for winter discharge.

1. Diaper. Even if you do not plan to wear diapers on the child, and will try to change his diapers, it is an integral part of the wardrobe on the day of discharge. After all, if the baby is described (and they do it very often at that age), you will have to interrupt the ceremony and look for an opportunity to change the clothes for the child right now. Not very convenient if you are on the doorstep of the hospital with things, is not it? You should have a few spare diapers with you.
2. Baby's undershirts and sliders or body. Just a few decades ago, romper and undershirts were considered to be undergarments. However, their use is not very convenient - the vest constantly opens, the chest and lower back of the child are not closed properly. To avoid this, instead of them it is very convenient to wear a thin body on the child. He can be without sleeves and legs - a sort of T-shirt with clasps below, so as not to bully. The body can be closed - with trousers and sleeves.Choose body transformers with wrapped "legs" on the handles. So that if necessary you can use them as scratches.
3. Fleece slip. If a thin bodysuit without sleeves and trousers was worn on the diaper, we put a fleece slip on top. It may be velor, but not too thin.
4. Little cap Usually, the baby is put on two hats - one thin of cotton material, and the second warm - wool. If the winter is very cold, you can wear three hats - thin, made of natural fabric, more dense and knitted.
5. Socks. We put some thin socks together with the body, under the fleece slip. We put on the second socks (more dense) over a slip or a warm suit. Instead of the second warm pair of socks, you can wear knitted booties.
6. Warm suit. These are warm knitted pants with a jacket that will protect the child from the cold. Instead of a suit, you can use a pair of thin and thick diapers - in the summer version of discharge this would be enough. If you wear a demi-season jumpsuit on top, this is an option for an autumn discharge. But for the winter you need another layer of clothing.

This can be an envelope or blanket that will protect the baby from frosty air and wind.Be sure to close the child face with a scarf or corner of the envelope. At low temperatures, the child’s cheeks should be lubricated with a special anti-frost baby cream. About what to choose as the top layer for the winter discharge, let's talk in more detail.

Top coat

Choosing a piece of warm clothes for the baby, the mother focuses on her taste preferences, financial capabilities and practical component.

1. The envelope. This is a traditional top dress, in which the baby is discharged. But many mothers with chagrin admit that such an envelope is used only once - at discharge. To walk in such a lacy and festive envelope is somehow not very pleasant. In addition, the laces quickly lose their shape, the envelope is usually light, and therefore the stamp. The envelope often needs to be swaddled with a bow, it is not very convenient if you often drive your car with the child. This envelope, though very elegant, but absolutely impractical. You will use it only one winter, and then it will remain with you to lie dead weight in the closet. In addition, it is worth a winter envelope for discharge a lot, think well - is it worth it?
2. A blanket. This is the traditional way of discharge. Our mothers and grandmothers were also discharged from the hospital with children wrapped in a blanket. To give a festive atmosphere, the bundles were tied up with red or blue ribbon depending on the gender of the child. Today, you can decorate a warm blanket in which the child will not be cold, you can ordinary summer envelope. It is not so expensive, and will look no worse than the winter. You can also wear a beautiful duvet cover with a lace angle on the blanket. In the end, you can not wrap the blanket with anything, and buy a blanket - not just warm, but beautiful. On sale there are many options in which you can wrap the child on an extract and use as a blanket afterwards.
3. Transforming overalls. There are many modern types of children's clothing, the name of which we do not even know. And why? The main thing is to know how to use it. On the shelves of children's stores you can find overalls, which form the bottom of the envelope - that is, a hollow pouch. Top - this is an elegant jacket. This is a very practical option. At discharge, the transformer forms a sort of envelope - warm and comfortable.Subsequently, the jumpsuit can be modified and armhole for the legs. In such a suit, a child may spend more than one winter, depending on the size of his physique. But two winters is a minimum.
4. Sheepskin blanket envelope. This is a common sheepskin blanket that retains heat well and does not get wet. At discharge, the blanket is transformed into an envelope, and later can be used as a regular blanket or bedding in a pram. This is a good and practical option, but rather everyday - you will have to decorate a blanket for discharge.

These are the main types and forms of outerwear for the baby, if he was born in winter.

Tip! Experienced mothers give a second life to things from which children grow quickly. The envelope at discharge can be used next winter when the baby is about a year old. Yes, the crumb in it is unlikely to fit, but for sledding is an indispensable thing. Before you put a baby in a sled, put his feet in an envelope. The legs, lower back and lower body will be completely covered from the wind, snow and cold, is it not great?

Winter discharge

Discharging from the hospital in the winter, you need to take into account several features.The most important thing is a car. The cabin of the car in which you are going for a child should not be smoked or dirty. There should not be any sharp flavors. Warm up the car in advance. If you warm up the cabin only slightly, you can not undress the baby. If the temperature in the cabin is room temperature - you need to remove the top layer of clothing. It is much safer to transport a child in the car seat, especially if you have your own car and in the future frequent trips with your child are planned. Pay attention to the fact that the overalls crumbs should be special fasteners for seat belts. If the road is not close, carefully monitor the condition of the child. If a child is cold, his nose will tell about it - he will become cold. If the baby is hot, the first thing to do is to sweat the back and neck. In this case, be careful - do not take the crumb to the frost.

Collecting the baby on your first appearance, do not forget about yourself. Prepare a cosmetic bag, elegant clothes, hair care products in advance. After all, mother is another major face in the upcoming holiday.

Extract - this is a very important event in which the whole family for the first time will see a new family member - a newborn baby.Clothes selected for this event should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, soft and moderately warm. Choosing how to dress the child at discharge, you need to rely on the mother's instincts - a good mother will not allow the child to freeze or sweat for no reason. Dress the baby properly and enjoy the sweet moments of your motherhood!
