First outfit, or how to dress a newborn baby for discharge in the fall

What should you buy for your baby?

The list below is indicative as it assumes the use of disposable diapers. If mom plans to give up the latter, more clothes will be needed. When traditional swaddling is used in the first months, you can get by with fewer sets.

What to buy for a newborn in the fall:

1. rompers (10 thin knitted ones and the same number of warm flannelette ones) . It is better to purchase products of different sizes, for example, half for the current time, and the rest for growth;
2. body, 5 pieces. They can be with short or long sleeves (the second option is more suitable for autumn);
3. vests, 5 pieces . In autumn it is better to buy warm blouses, but if the house is warm, thin ones are enough;
4. warm socks, 10 pairs. Can be partially replaced with booties;
5. flannelette diapers, 5 pieces . You will need them when going to the clinic, as well as when changing clothes and performing air baths at home. If the mother plans to practice traditional swaddling, more such products will be needed;
6. caps, 2-3 pieces. You can purchase two thin ones and one warm one, which will serve as an underwear when walking outside;
7. suit or overalls made of velor, warm flannel or thin fleece, 1-2 pieces . Usually this is used to visit a clinic or guests. You will definitely need one for discharge from the hospital;
8. an envelope or overalls for walking outside. If such a product does not cover the legs, it is worth purchasing special warm booties separately.

Panties, T-shirts, tights are purchased upon request. Some mothers put on such things for their baby only from two to three months, others - from the first days of life.

How to dress for graduation in the fall?

How to dress a newborn for discharge in the fall largely depends on the region of residence, the month, as well as the prevailing temperature conditions. Obviously, October in the south of Russia, with average daily temperatures of +10 degrees Celsius, is very different from the northern regions or the central part of the country.

In this regard, experts advise that the baby wear a standard bottom for autumn, but choose the top part based on the air temperature outside the window.

The clothing set looks like this:

• cotton hat or bonnet;
• a woolen headdress (thin for early autumn and as thick as possible for late autumn);
• socks. When the child is wearing overalls or rompers, thin socks are sufficient. If the legs are not covered by the body kit, the socks should be wool;
• 2 diapers;
• underwear set (choice: vest and rompers, slip, bodysuit);
• one-piece jumpsuit made of velor or other fairly warm fabric. If it’s more than +10 outside the window, you don’t need to use this item of clothing.

The upper part is a jumpsuit made in the shape of an envelope. Such a thing combines beauty (a photo shoot is an integral part of being discharged from the hospital), as well as practicality and functionality. In addition, in such clothes the baby will definitely not freeze.

If autumn is early and it is not too cold outside yet, you can purchase a demi-season envelope made of padding polyester. If we are talking about November, when the weather outside is rainy or frosty, it is better to give preference to a winter envelope for discharge.

how to dress a child at different temperatures.

Every time before going outside, any mother is interested in the question of how to dress her baby according to the weather so that he does not sweat and freeze, and he is comfortable and comfortable? Children's clothing is quite specific, just like a child's body. Therefore, focusing on yourself will not be entirely correct.

Of course, the main criterion when choosing clothes for walking is the age of the child, whether he can walk, whether he travels in a stroller or on foot, etc. So, to find out how to dress a child according to the weather, we tried to take into account all the nuances and compiled three tables that you can use to guide you when dressing children of different ages outdoors at any time of the year and in any weather. Note that there is such a thing as comfort temperature. It means the air temperature taking into account the wind. To be more precise, this is the air temperature taking into account many factors (wind, sun, humidity, etc.), but such a calculation is quite complicated. Therefore, if you are going to dress your child for the weather and go for a walk, it will not be enough to look at the readings of the outdoor thermometer. It is also necessary to approximately estimate the strength of the wind, because it significantly affects the air temperature that our body feels. For each person, the comfortable temperature is different and can differ significantly from the sensations of other people. For example, an adult feels good on average at a temperature of +21°C, a small child at +18°C, and older people can freeze even in the summer. How to dress an infant for a walk depending on the comfort temperature and weather

Walking with infants is not recommended in very windy, frosty weather or if it is very hot.

I would like to make a special note about the covers that are included with modern strollers - they are designed for very cold winters with windy weather. You should not cover your child with it in good weather. Without a cover, he will get more air, sunlight and benefits from a walk. The same applies to mosquito nets, which are put on strollers even when there are no mosquitoes. Any fabric, no matter how “breathable” it is, still retains most of the oxygen and ultraviolet radiation - therefore undesirable.

In winter, it is convenient to use strollers with inflatable wheels; they do not slip on ice and overcome snowdrifts and drifts well. To dress a child, a deep hood and a wide space in the cradle are useful so that the baby can lie in it freely in overalls.

It doesn't hurt to have a blanket or blanket in the stroller in case the weather turns out to be colder than you thought, and a warm blanket for mom to put on the bench. Be sure to take a thermos with a hot drink with you.

How to determine if a child is cold?

It is necessary to evaluate the behavior of the child himself. If the baby is cold, he will react very violently: cry, scream and move. The skin turns pale and the feet are icy. Check to see if your boots are too small or too tight, as this will contribute to hypothermia.

The “check by the nose” myth is a distorted advice from doctors to “check by the bridge of the nose.” You can check on the arm above the hand and on the neck. Do not forget that for the normal functioning of all systems of the child’s body, including the immune system, it is worse to overheat than to become hypothermic. A child does not freeze if his nose and cheeks are cool outside in winter; cool (not icy) hands, back and butt.

What to do if your child is cold?

1. Take your baby in your arms and warm him with the warmth of your body. Invite an older child to jump, run, and generally move around.
2. After he warms up a little, dress him warmer.
   Signs of a child overheating. The first sign of a baby's overheating is thirst; during a walk, even in winter, the face is always warm, the back, neck, and arms are hot.

   What to do if your child is overheated?

3. Provide the minimum amount of clothing possible.

Let him drink water, juice, or compote as much as possible.

4. Cool water treatments help

Walking clothes

Particular attention should be paid to the quality of children's clothing. The one that comes into contact with the skin should be exclusively cotton. When choosing an autumn envelope or overalls, you should make sure that the fabric has windproof and water-repellent properties, and that the amount of insulation is sufficient for the region where the family and the baby live.

The following things will be needed for the walk:

1. outerwear, which can be an envelope, a warm suit or a transforming jumpsuit;
2. blanket for stroller. If the baby gets cold during a walk, the mother will be able to cover him additionally;
3. two hats - cotton and knitted. A warm hat should have ties to prevent cold air from penetrating underneath it;
4. under the bottom they usually wear a thin suit or rompers with a vest. If autumn is frosty or a chilly wind is blowing, it is better to additionally place a warm velor jumpsuit under the envelope. Woolen socks are also required.

The above list is approximate, since much depends on the weather.

2-in-1 outerwear models with a detachable fur layer are very convenient. This option can be used both in autumn and winter, and by adjusting the heat according to temperature changes outside the window.

Autumn and winter walks

Before understanding such an important issue for young mothers regarding how to dress a child outside in the fall or winter, you should listen to the recommendations for dressing:

• The child should be dressed last. This will prevent him from sweating and catching a cold when he goes outside.
• The baby's clothes should not be tight, so he will not freeze.
• You need to dress your baby based on his activity. If he sleeps during the walk, you can remove extra clothes or cover him with a blanket. If the baby is active during a walk, then you shouldn’t wrap him up too much.

Parents of children born in autumn or winter should know what the list of clothes that the baby will need to prepare for walks looks like.

This list looks like this:

• Cotton Man.
• Warm man (fleece).
• Cotton cap.
• Insulated (thick) hat.
• Blouse.
• Socks.
• Warm (250 grams of insulation), lightweight (50 grams of insulation) overalls.
• Envelope (preferably made of sheepskin).
• Plaid.

The clothing included in the above list must be made of high-quality material. The following table will demonstrate how to properly dress a newborn outdoors in autumn and winter, depending on the weather. It is worth noting that diapers are always worn.

The table below also provides recommendations on how to dress a baby from 8 degrees below zero to 15 degrees above zero.

When walking in autumn and winter, it is necessary to check from time to time whether the baby is cold. This can be done by touching his neck; if it is warm, then the child is comfortable. A hot, wet neck indicates that the baby is hot, and a cold neck indicates that he is cold.

How to dress a newborn at home?

Home clothes should be equipped with the expectation that the child will not freeze or overheat in the room.
This can be determined using a simple test - you need to touch your neck, the skin in this place should be dry and warm. Wet and hot skin indicates overheating, cold skin indicates freezing. In such a situation, the baby needs to be changed taking into account the air temperature in the apartment:

• if the house is 25 degrees or higher, a shortened slip or a T-shirt with thin rompers is enough. A bodysuit would also work;
• at 22-24 degrees (this is the temperature that is considered ideal), thin rompers and a shirt will be optimal;
• if it is below 22 degrees, then the baby will need a cap, socks, as well as a blouse and pants made of fleece, velor or other warm material.
