What is better for discharge: an envelope or a blanket? The answer to this question depends on the situation, season and weather conditions. Today the market offers quite a large number of different options, the advantages of which are fully revealed in each specific case. As a rule, each season has its own set of the most suitable materials. Thus, for summer envelopes, hygroscopic, lightweight and well-ventilated cotton is used, which does not cause irritation or other allergic reactions. Autumn babies will feel more comfortable in slightly insulated sets, where the main materials are the same cotton, cozy flannel and popular fleece. In winter, well-insulated envelopes made of wind- and moisture-resistant fabric lined with holofiber or natural sheep wool are relevant.
What to choose in winter for discharge from the maternity hospital: a blanket, an envelope or a jumpsuit?
The most popular clothes for a baby when leaving the maternity hospital in winter are an envelope, a blanket and overalls.
If a new addition to your family is planned for the cold season, then this article is especially for you. Let's figure out what types of winter clothes for newborns there are, what materials they are made from, how they differ and, most importantly, what to choose? Winter blanket for discharge from maternity hospital - pros and cons?
A time-tested (and also older generation) option. However, you should remember that upon discharge from the maternity hospital, they buy clothes in which the baby will have to spend the whole winter. And it’s good if your birthday is in February, but what if it’s in November or December? Then every day for several months you will have to wrap the baby in a blanket, which, firstly, is not very convenient, and secondly, it takes a lot of time.
A compromise option could be an envelope blanket (transformable). Depending on the tasks, it can be used as an envelope (thanks to convenient fastenings with Velcro or elastic bands), and if you unfold it completely, you get a full-fledged blanket. This is a good option for children born at the end of winter, since many parents do not go outside with their newborns at first, but simply “walk” on the balcony. Then, for the first months of your child’s life, a warm blanket-envelope will be enough, and in the spring you can already look at demi-season overalls.
Envelopes for discharge in winter - main types and materials?
There are several types of winter envelopes for discharge.
Elegant envelopes with bows and frills. What cannot be taken away from such an envelope is its excellent appearance. The baby in the photographs will look 100% in the festive envelope. Unfortunately, elegant envelopes, as a rule, get dirty very quickly, so it is difficult to use them as everyday clothes for walking.
Envelopes for discharge made of fur or wool (sheepskin). Warm, functional, practical. Fur envelopes are more expensive, so most parents prefer sheepskin options. When the child grows up, they can be placed in a sled or on your lap so that the baby can sit comfortably. It is best to choose a model that can be completely unfastened with a zipper.
Envelopes made of padding polyester, holofiber, padding polyester, isosoft, Thinsulate and other artificial materials. The undoubted advantage of “synthetics” is their weight; such envelopes are the lightest. They protect well from snow and wind, and are the easiest to care for. In addition, artificial materials do not cause allergies; mites and other microorganisms do not grow in them.
Advice. Avoid outerwear made from natural down. It retains heat well, but the child may develop allergies.
What models are there?
Many envelopes have been developed for newborns.
The main classification is carried out by season. There are summer, demi-season and winter envelopes.
The envelopes come in the following shapes: a bag with a zipper, a sleeping bag with a hard bottom, a blanket or mat with fasteners, a cocoon or nest for a stroller, a transformer for overalls or overalls. Their functionality differs. Some of them are universal, combining characteristics of different types.
Envelopes for discharge are included in a separate group. It's like a festive outfit for newborns, chic in appearance, designed for a special day.
How to dress a newborn for discharge in winter
Discharge from the hospital is always exciting and festive, especially if it happens in December, on New Year's Eve. How to dress a newborn for discharge in winter worries many young mothers. They prepare for this in advance: they buy elegant clothes for themselves and the baby. During the cold season, this event has nuances; it is better to foresee everything in advance.
Example of clothes for discharge in winter
Discharge from the hospital in winter
Before dressing your baby, you need to wash all purchased items and iron them thoroughly so that no wrinkles remain. Make sure that there are no rough seams, tight elastic bands or buttons inside that could injure the baby’s delicate skin. It is better to wear clothes that are larger than his height so that they do not fit tightly to the body. They can be discharged as early as the 3rd day, so bags with things must be collected immediately.
Essential clothing
What to wear when discharging a child from the maternity hospital in winter needs to be thought out in advance. Baby clothes should be easy to put on and take off, because dressing a newborn is not so easy. The mother may feel insecure, fearing harm to the baby.
You can purchase a slip with buttons, snaps or a zipper. The last option is the most convenient for mother and baby. Slip is a jumpsuit for newborns that covers the baby’s legs and arms. It may not cover the child's feet completely, then you need to prepare socks. They are always useful if it is hot in the room; the newborn can be left in a diaper and socks, covered with a diaper.
Your baby shouldn't get cold or sweaty outside. Therefore, you should not overdo it with layers of clothing. Wear warm overalls, wool or fleece, over a cotton slip. On the head - a thin hat, on top of it - a winter one. On your feet - warm socks or booties. The main thing is that the baby is comfortable in clothes and is safe. Next, put the child in a winter envelope or wrap him in a warm blanket so that there is no air flow anywhere. A ribbon with a bow is tied over all layers.
The slip can be replaced with rompers and a vest or a regular jacket. It is up to the parents to decide which option is more convenient. Usually kids get home by car, so this set of clothes is enough. It is better not to organize long events near the maternity hospital, the baby will be hot in warm clothes, he may sweat and catch a cold, then being exposed to the cold. The maternity hospital workers will tell you what to wear for a newborn when he is discharged in winter if any difficulties arise. They will help collect the baby, if necessary, they can swaddle him and tie a bow beautifully. You can be discharged from the maternity hospital only if the baby is healthy, so there is no need for additional conditions or special clothing for moving home.
In addition to clothing, you need a standard set of things: diapers, wet wipes, diapers, pacifier, diaper cream, foam or gel for bathing the baby. Each maternity hospital provides a list of necessary items. If something is missing, relatives can always bring it later. At first, the baby sleeps a lot, the rest of the time he needs his mother, there is no need to entertain him.

Lace diapers are made from synthetic materials that can irritate the baby's skin. Therefore, you need to ensure minimal contact with her. Care must be taken to ensure that the baby does not freeze. If you use a thin holiday envelope without insulation, add a layer of clothing for the newborn.
Criteria for choosing clothes for discharge
Now there is a large selection of envelopes, overalls, various designs, colors. My eyes widen. Good things cost a lot. Therefore, what a newborn is discharged from the maternity hospital in in winter, those clothes are then used in everyday life. For this, the main thing is that the child is comfortable and comfortable. It is believed that in the cold season a child should be dressed in the same way as an adult, plus an additional layer. Here you need to take into account the properties of materials and the ability to retain heat, so you can only rely on this rule approximately.
Baby wearing a lot of clothes
Important! You should always remember that overheating is much more dangerous for a baby than freezing.
Or maybe a jumpsuit?
The main reason why some mothers want to buy overalls for a newborn is the natural desire to save money. After all, many people want to buy something that can be used for the next season without spending money on buying a new one. Of course, transformable overalls, which are manufactured everywhere, have a number of advantages:
- Removable linings. As the weather warms up, you can remove unnecessary insulation and use overalls in spring or autumn.
- Multifunctionality. The word transformer itself suggests that clothes should be transformed. That is, the overalls can become something like an envelope if you fix some details with zippers or rivets.
- Duration of use. When unfolded, with the legs and sleeves unfastened, the overalls become two to three sizes larger, which allows you to wear it in the second year of the baby’s life.
All these buttons and zippers unfasten, turning small clothes into large ones.
However, when buying a good overalls for a newborn, you should keep in mind that multifunctional models are quite expensive and therefore the savings will be conditional.
Walking with a newborn in the cold
In newborns, thermoregulation is not fully developed. They react worse to overheating than to freezing. Therefore, the main thing is not to put too much on your baby.
Additional Information. After birth, the baby is usually not taken for walks for the first week; in winter, a little longer. If the child is healthy, the weather allows, that is, the temperature outside is not lower than 15 degrees, after two weeks you can safely go for a walk. First for half an hour, gradually increase the time until the baby gets hungry. Before going for a walk, the parents must get dressed first, then it is the baby’s turn. This is necessary to prevent it from overheating before going outside.
A newborn should be dressed in layers, both for discharge and then for a walk; the air between the clothes retains heat and prevents freezing. At temperatures from 0 to 5 degrees, three layers are sufficient:
- Thin slip or romper bodysuit with long sleeves;
- Warm overalls, wool or fleece;
- Winter overalls or envelope.
A thin hat on your head and a warm winter hat on top.
Nowadays there is a wide variety of underwear for babies and older children. You can buy thermal underwear; it must contain wool. Will only work if worn on a naked body and fits correctly. You can’t buy for growth here.
Newborn outdoors in winter
If the temperature is below minus 5 degrees, you need to add another layer: either knitted or fleece. It is up to the parents to decide and look at the child. If the parents are cold while walking, then the baby is probably cold too. It's better to cancel the event. In severe frost, you need to cover your baby as much as possible, leaving only his face outside.
Additional Information. There is no need to go for a walk in severe frost, especially if the house is located near the highway and you plan to walk around it.
It’s easier to dress your baby as if he’s going outside and put the stroller with him on the balcony, after opening the window. On the 4th floor and above the air is much cleaner than below, along the road. Therefore, a walk on the balcony will be more beneficial. After all, the main purpose of a walk is to get some fresh air.
Winter envelopes: no matter any frost or wind
For the first winter in a child’s life, especially if it occurred during the newborn period, a warm envelope is an essential item. After all, the baby is still too small and during walks he usually sleeps in the stroller.
In an envelope made in the form of a sleeping bag, a baby can be placed either wrapped in a blanket or dressed in a warm overall. When choosing an envelope, pay attention to its design. Winter envelopes, which can be opened as much as possible due to fasteners (zippers, buttons). It’s easier and faster to put the baby in such a winter envelope - which means getting ready to go out won’t take much time. In an envelope, the top of which can be tightened to form a hood, the baby will not mind any frost or wind.
Envelopes for babies, adjustable in length and width, “grow” with the child and last longer. The next year, such a model usually “moves” from a sleeping stroller to a walking stroller or to a sled. Convenient details: slots on the back of the envelope for the passage of stroller seat belts, ties or Velcro loops for attaching to a sled. If a car seat is actively used, then it is better to look for a warm envelope with a slot for car seat belts. It’s good if there is a special valve that closes the slot when it is not needed: the baby sitting in the stroller will not have any air.
Another type of children's envelopes are models with a hood and sleeves. To prevent small legs from feeling cramped, the bottom of such envelopes is made wider than the shoulders and gathered at the front. The sleeves can be open or sewn, some models have clip-on mittens.
Insulated envelopes are offered in various designs. These can be models made of padding polyester, lined with faux fur or sheep wool on a knitted base.
How not to overheat a child
You won't be able to check if your baby is cold by looking at his nose and cheeks. Even if they are cold, this does not mean that the baby is cold. This is determined by the area around the neck, some by the bridge of the baby’s nose. You can always ask for advice from more experienced mothers who have endured more than one winter with a baby. If the child is red and has sweat on his nose, it means he is hot, it is better to end the event. Afterwards, you need to check the baby’s limbs, if they are cold, dress warmer next time, if the baby is sweating, remove one layer.
Discharge of a newborn from the maternity hospital in winter is an exciting and responsible event. You need to choose clothes for your baby wisely so that he is satisfied.
Extract from the maternity hospital: envelope or overalls?
How to transport a full-grown baby in a car seat?
How to transport a full-grown baby in a car seat?
Didn't understand the question In the chair from 0
How is this not required?? It is required by law Yes, and they don’t give you away without a car seat, here in Estonia for sure, and in England
You understand that this is dangerous. Even if the husband is a driving ace. The road is full of inappropriate people. It's like you have extra children. Even taxis now have car seats
Plus, it's a good option
There are ones with a lying position, but they have worse crash tests. Nothing will happen to a child in the right seat from 0. Look at the photo. How Kate Middleton and her baby were discharged. Right in the car seat. And they probably care about these children seriously
And then a drunk in another car crashes into a car with a child at a speed of 150, in the best case, the mother crushes the child with herself, in the worst, the baby will fly through the windshield 90 meters into the oncoming traffic. But he will be calm later. When I read posts like this, it makes my hair stand on end. The fact that the staff themselves will determine what parents should dress their children in is frankly amusing. But you saved money, right? And why is your child so nervous? If you were seriously ill, continue your treatment and take him to the ambulance.
Dress as yourself, plus 1 thin cotton layer. Moreover, you are not going for a walk, but just going home. During the first 2 months, children have undeveloped thermoregulation; if the child sweats a lot, he will get sick. no one knows what the weather will be like, look, in Moscow today it’s +9, December. And we were expecting a frosty winter.
And for me, the most uncomfortable thing that can be is a blanket. It’s inconvenient to shake these tails in a stroller, it’s inconvenient to untie and tie them on the changing pad at the doctor’s office, and it’s also inconvenient to fasten even special blankets through these. Well, the bow is somehow a relic. Although, it's a matter of taste. There is nothing more convenient than a special jumpsuit with paired zippers for each leg, moderate warmth, since it is hot in the car and rooms, and an additional fur envelope for severe frosts on top of this jumpsuit.
Author, the child will be dressed by nurses who will accompany you upon discharge. During their work, they wore everything and were able to put a screaming child into the eye of a needle, and even into overalls without any problems at all.
While you are dressing yourself, the nurse will put on the child ALL the things that the father/relatives gave. There is no need to bring several sets of clothes with the idea of “let them choose what they need”, otherwise your child will be packed like cabbage in all the sets.
I’m also interested in why you are interested in clothes for discharge when half of the pregnancy is ahead and this is not the most pressing issue right now. And why are you rude to people? The expectant mother, and such a *****.
Don’t pay attention)) There are always a lot of idiots, among those who have given birth and among those without children. This is already a character. Have an easy birth!
We recently had a woman die with her newborn. I'm sure she was also convinced that nothing would happen. Take a transformable jumpsuit. If it’s spring, you won’t need the jumpsuit for long. And in the fall you won’t be able to walk around in an envelope. In the meantime, when it’s cold, you’ll make it into an envelope, or into overalls in the car.
By autumn, half a year will have passed, the child will have grown a lot. You will already need a new overall. And by the time children grow by 25 cm, they shouldn’t grow by that amount.
Did you take it out of spite? Some overalls come in sizes, for example, 0-6 months, while others come in cm. Which one is more profitable to buy right away?

How to choose
Selection criteria and recommendations:
- Seasonality
The baby will need at least two envelopes, for the cold and warm seasons. This factor is closely related to the characteristics of the materials.
- Material
Summer models are made from cotton, silk, satin, and knitwear. New items are made from bamboo fabric. The surface of winter and demi-season envelopes for newborns should be made of waterproof fabric that protects from the wind. The best options are membrane ones. The lining is usually made of fleece, jersey, interlock, or cotton. Fillings can be natural (sheepskin, down) or artificial (holofiber, padding polyester and others).
- Breathability
It is important that the envelope creates a healthy environment for newborns, ensures air circulation, and prevents the accumulation of moisture inside. This explains the popularity of models made of membrane fabrics. And non-breathable envelopes can become unsanitary and worsen allergies.
- Harmful substances
The material from which the baby envelope is made must not contain substances that are potentially dangerous or harmful to the child.
- Features, details
The child's individuality is taken into account. For those who are impatient, items with zippers are suitable, speeding up the dressing time. For active children, models with cinching at the waist are recommended, as they prevent the base from twisting. If the baby likes to move his legs, choose products that are widened towards the bottom. For the cold season there should be a hood with a drawstring function. If your little one often travels in a car, the envelope should have special slots for seat belts.
- Accessories
This aspect affects the comfort of use. Any fastener should close and open with ease. The best option is zipper. In addition, there are Velcro, buttons, buttons. Fasteners can also adjust the size of the model and transform it, for example, unfastening the sleeves.
- Size
It is important that the baby envelope is the right size; it is safer and more convenient for the baby.
Buying a large envelope may seem like a good idea, but there is a risk that your baby will slip his head inside and start suffocating. In addition, in a space that is too spacious, heat will dissipate.
On the contrary, an envelope that is too small restricts the toddler’s movements, causing him discomfort.
A winter or demi-season envelope is chosen more freely, taking into account what the baby will be wearing.
- Convenience
A newborn cannot say whether he is comfortable, and the only thing one can base assumptions on is his calmness and quick fall asleep inside the envelope. To avoid mistakes when choosing, you need to inspect the item inside and out; make sure that the back of the product is smooth, soft to the touch, without lumps, seams, obtrusive decorations, frills or “dense” embroidery.
- Color, design, style
When choosing colors, take into account the gender of the child. Classic for boys - shades of blue, for girls - from pink to crimson. Many parents prefer universal tones so that they can continue to use the envelope with younger children. Optimal colors: lilac, green, yellow, black.
The best manufacturers think through models for newborns to the smallest detail, every detail reduces or increases comfort, for example, “sealed” zippers are safer, and fur trims near the face serve both for warmth and beauty.
The discharge envelope can be practical, with a view to further use, but most often it is elegant, with lace and bows to emphasize the solemnity of the birth of the child. The choice is up to the parents.
- Where can I buy
It is better to purchase your first outerwear for children in an online store or outlet that specializes in goods for babies. You should not save, because the comfort and health of the little one depends on it.
Baby overalls
The overalls are universal clothing and, without a doubt, are suitable both for discharge from the maternity hospital and for further everyday wear . Modern overalls have a special design that allows them to be worn from the first day of life.
In form, this type of clothing consists of a jacket and trousers joined together . It protects the baby from adverse environmental factors.
The winter overalls are insulated. The lining is usually made of down, sheepskin or holofiber .
It has a hood with fur, mittens and booties . You will also be pleased with the variety of design solutions and colors.
Advantages
The main advantage of the overalls is that it is very comfortable to hold the baby in your arms . But on the other hand, the baby spends most of his time in the winter in a stroller.
The true benefits of overalls can be appreciated when the baby is about 5-6 months old. At this time, they can not only lie down, but also sit in the crib.
ATTENTION! Modern overalls are multifunctional and adapted for use in a car seat.
Flaws
Many consider the purchase of overalls to be irrational due to the rapid growth of the child. Children grow quickly, and the overalls purchased for discharge will be too small for the child within a few months .
If you take a product larger than necessary, then the baby in such clothes will be cold and uncomfortable. Hands and fingers especially get cold when they get lost in large sleeves.
Another disadvantage is the longer process of dressing a child compared to an envelope. Many overalls have distinctive design features that still need to be sorted out. This is especially true for transformers.
REFERENCE! One of the significant disadvantages of overalls is their high cost.
