An extract from the maternity hospital is the first appearance of a baby in the world, the first appearance of a woman in public in a new capacity - in the role of a mother of a long-awaited baby. I would like to make this moment beautiful and memorable, think over everything to the smallest detail, including what to show the newborn to relatives for the first time.
It is necessary to decide what to wrap the baby in for discharge, having determined what is more important for the mother at the moment: the appearance of the baby, corresponding to the solemn occasion, or the acquisition of a practical and functional thing. And every mother will have her own answer to this question.
The envelope
Many mothers of their first child choose an envelope: it is nice to present their treasure in a beautiful "package" made of satin, lace, ribbons. Only now you will have to use such an envelope several times at most. It's almost like a wedding dress for a bride: very fancy and very impractical. And such ceremonial envelopes are sewn, as they say, "for one time." They are not designed for long-term operation, and very soon they become small to the baby.
But the envelope is not the same. You can also find more practical options, such as a warm envelope, often with natural fur or down, as well as a warm transforming blanket. Such a thing is good to buy for discharge if childbirth and the first months of a baby's life will fall on the cold season. For several months, such a thing will serve as a reliable protection for the newborn from the cold during walks. In addition, the convertible blanket can be easily converted into a regular blanket and cover the baby while sleeping at home.
A blanket
This thing will come in handy after being discharged for a long time. A baby can sleep under a standard rectangular blanket for up to five years, so this is a great economy option. And in order not to disturb the solemnity of the moment, you can sew an elegant duvet cover for discharge, decorating it with embroidery, lace and ribbons to your liking, or complement the blanket with an elegant lace corner.
In the future, the blanket can be laid both in the stroller and in the crib, to cover the baby. And when the child grows up, with a skillful approach, you can build a wonderful rug for playing on the floor.
Other options
If the discharge takes place on a hot day, you can do without a blanket altogether, put on an elegant and cozy fleece jumpsuit and wrap your child in a light blanket, perhaps even handmade - it will serve as a wonderful light blanket during summer walks.
For cold weather, you can also purchase a warm transforming overalls. It is good because it immediately replaces both the jacket and the envelope. It is better to choose a model in which the pants can be converted into a bag for the lower body - such a jumpsuit will serve the next year, when the baby begins to take his first steps. It is only important not to be mistaken with the size, it is better to buy a looser model.
