It is probably difficult to even imagine a more touching and exciting moment in the life of a family than being discharged from the maternity hospital. On this day, the baby goes out into the world for the first time and meets relatives, so such an event should take place in the most comfortable and joyful environment. Long before discharge, parents wonder how to dress their child in order to create the necessary conditions for him and take into account the solemnity of the moment. This is especially important during cold weather. Therefore, today we will tell you what things to choose for your baby for discharge in the autumn-winter period so that your holiday is perfect.
Basic rules when choosing clothes for discharge
The seams of the clothing should be outward so that the baby's delicate skin is not damaged. Prepared items must be washed in advance with baby soap.
You need to take two diapers with you: light and warm. Jumpsuits, bodysuits, socks, caps, rompers - only made of cotton fabrics. Regardless of the weather, it is advisable to take a cap and hat. What things to take depends on the season.

The autumn statement is also entirely focused on weather conditions. At the beginning of autumn, the role of outerwear can be played by a “corner” - a special elegant diaper. Deep autumn requires purchasing a demi-season envelope. If there is the first frost, it is better to use a well-insulated envelope.
The first layer of clothing for the baby will be: a disposable diaper, a cotton vest or bodysuit, socks and a thin hat. The baby's feet freeze quickly. Therefore, socks are selected based on the temperature reading on the street thermometer. In fairly warm weather, these are thin cotton, and in cold weather, mohair-based socks.
Basic clothing is a jumpsuit made of cotton or thick knitwear. This item of clothing allows you to quickly change a diaper without undressing your baby completely. Very convenient and impressive in appearance! For windy and cold weather, a fleece option (fleece or flannel) is suitable.
For outerwear, choose a “corner” or a demi-season envelope. The head is protected with a knitted cap.
That is, regardless of the season, the baby should wear two or three layers of clothing. Experienced mothers know that it is worth focusing on themselves. If it’s comfortable to wear a dress and a jacket, then the baby should have three layers. And if a dress or T-shirt with jeans is enough for the mother, the child dresses in two layers.
As for the models and the high cost of various parts of a children's wardrobe, it all depends on the financial capabilities and preferences of the parents. But it is important not to forget that comfort comes first, and compliance, for example, of an envelope with the latest fashion trends comes last.
The child will be happy that he is surrounded by loving people - parents, relatives. By and large, it doesn’t matter to him how much it costs or what the clothes look like for the first appearance. Therefore, it is important for parents not to lose their minds. Although, of course, in the modern world, mothers can buy anything for their child - there are no restrictions.
Discharge in summer
The question of what to wear for a child’s discharge in the summer arises less often among parents than at other times of the year. In summer it is warm and does not require as much clothing as in winter.
In the warm season, especially in the heat, it is important not to overdo it with clothes.
Not everyone knows that babies have special thermoregulation; a large amount of clothing can lead to heat stroke. Therefore, we choose light cotton fabrics if it is clear and sunny outside.
When choosing clothes, give preference to light colors. If your baby is being discharged at the beginning of summer, we recommend stocking up on clothes suitable for spring.
If the baby is being welcomed at the end of summer, we consider the option of autumn clothing.
Clothing that can be used in the warm season:
- cotton cap;
- cotton cap;
- rompers, blouse;
- jumpsuit;
- vest;
- socks, booties;
- knitted blanket with ribbon, maybe an envelope.
Discharge in autumn
For an autumn meeting, choose flannel or chintz fabrics. Clothes for a baby should be fleeced, but not with fur, so that the baby does not have diaper rash. We put on the summer set as the first layer, and then select a warm overall and an envelope on top.
So, what to dress your child in if he is discharged in the fall:
- cotton cap, cotton cap;
- the hat is warm, we give preference to woolen ones;
- rompers or thin cotton socks, as well as wool socks;
- a vest, as an option;
- slip with closed legs and sleeves;
- insulated overalls with a hood;
- overalls-envelope, its convenience lies in the transformation into an envelope and back.
Discharge in winter
In such a beautiful, but at the same time cold time of year, it is necessary to prepare more carefully. It is important to carefully study the question of how to properly dress your child for discharge in winter.

List of things suitable for the cold period:
- cotton socks;
- woolen socks;
- a cotton cap or cap, always a warm hat;

Discharge in winter is a very responsible event for young parents, since the baby needs additional protection from the environment. It is necessary to choose an outfit for a newborn so that he is warm and comfortable. Based on these requirements, experienced parents and doctors advise purchasing the following set of things for the child:
- vests, rompers, bodysuits or slips;
- warm slip or suit made of fleece/velor/terry;
- socks or booties;
- hat (thin and insulated);
- envelope or snowsuit.
First, second and third layers of clothing for a baby in winter
Rompers, baby vests and bodysuits are classic and familiar clothing for a baby in our understanding. A more modern option is a slip - a thin jumpsuit that completely covers the legs and arms to the wrists. Slips and undershirts are used as a child’s first layer of clothing in winter, so such clothing should be:
- made from natural materials, hypoallergenic;
- with external seams;
- dim (without the use of aggressive dyes);
- without zippers, buttons, lace or protruding decorative elements.
The smallest size diaper is also worn under the first layer of clothing so that the discharge process goes without surprises.
Options for underwear for a child for winter discharge
The next layer is a thick suit that insulates the baby from external irritants and keeps him warm. Here parents can already be freer in choosing colors, and also decide for themselves whether this costume will be festive or more practical for every day. The main requirements for such clothing are high-quality materials that are comfortable for the baby and good fittings.
A warm suit is an important part of a baby’s wardrobe.
After lower and outer clothing, socks or booties and a hat are usually worn. If discharge occurs in December or another winter month, two caps are usually used. The first, thin, should be pleasant to the baby’s skin and carefully wrap the head; the second, insulated, should warm well and not allow cold air to pass through.
Hats for babies for winter discharge
When the baby is warmly dressed, for external insulation he is wrapped in a blanket or envelope for discharge. The coldest month of the year is January, so checking out in January involves using the warmest envelope, for example, a sheepskin one. Envelopes and blankets made with artificial insulation (sintepon, holofiber) are also popular. They are attractive due to their price and practicality, but it is worth remembering that natural materials are always preferable for a baby.
Examples of envelopes for winter discharge from the maternity hospital
For discharge in February, January or December, a winter overall or transforming overall can be a good alternative to an envelope. The only drawback of this option may be its “non-festive” nature, but the jumpsuit will be useful for a young parent for walks with the baby throughout the winter period.
Winter overalls for babies
Discharge in spring
In the spring we prepare for all occasions. The weather at this time is unpredictable. Therefore, we take with us autumn and winter sets.
What do we dress the baby in when he is discharged in the spring:
- thin socks plus warm socks;
- cotton cap or cap;
- an insulated hat, but thin;
- insulated one-piece suit made of cotton;
- insulated envelope or overalls.
When choosing clothes at different times of the year, we focus on the weather and temperature conditions, since these indicators differ in different regions.

How to dress a newborn for discharge (according to the seasons)
What to consider when choosing clothes for a newborn?
It is necessary to take into account not only the temperature outside the window
, but also other conditions: precipitation, humidity, wind, and so on. The ideal choice would be underwear made from natural materials with virtually no dyeing to avoid allergic reactions. Also, natural fabric allows the skin to breathe.
Clothes size is also an important criterion.
. It's better to take more things than less. It is also necessary to swaddle the baby freely.
avoid bare areas on your baby's body.
, this is especially significant in winter, and also in cold autumn and spring. Upon discharge, a warm envelope or insulated overalls, closed clothing (for example, a bodysuit) and other options will help.
It is imperative to get rid of tags on clothing.
so as not to damage the baby's delicate skin. In general, in the first month of life, as well as at discharge, you need to wear things without seams, or with the seams facing out.
Multilayer sets are relevant at almost any time of the year, especially in winter.
. But there should not be too many layers, optimally two warm ones, not four light ones. Wrapping a child in a blanket, as well as dressing him too warmly, is not a good idea. Otherwise, the child may overheat and get sick. And first, dress yourself, and then start dressing the baby.
It is not difficult to determine the comfort of a child’s condition: just touch the neck and upper back. If the skin is hot and damp, he is too hot, and if it is cool, he is cold. In this case, you need to change clothes to more suitable ones.
Dressing the baby for discharge according to the seasons
Summer
. Give preference to a bodysuit or overalls made of thin cotton. You need to put a knitted cap on the baby’s head and thin socks on his feet. Be sure to use a diaper. But the summer envelope can easily be replaced with a corner diaper or blanket.
Spring and autumn
. You also can’t do without a diaper, but you need to wear a bodysuit with long sleeves. Prepare rompers, a cotton jersey jumpsuit, a cap, an envelope made of wool or padding polyester. The latter can be replaced with insulated overalls or a blanket. You will need a knitted hat.
Winter
. As in other seasons, you will need a diaper. In winter, it is better to check out with your baby in a long-sleeve bodysuit and cotton overalls. Put on your child a thin cap, a hat with fur or synthetic padding with a cotton lining, warm socks, a fleece or velor jumpsuit. You will also need an envelope with a sheepskin lining or a special transformable blanket with a zipper. Instead, a transformable jumpsuit with fur is suitable. Thin and warm diapers will not be superfluous.
What clothes does a newborn baby need?
Be sure to prepare a set of clothes for discharge. Typically, newborns up to three months of age fit size 56 clothes. You will need:
- 2 bodysuits with long sleeves and 2 with short sleeves
- several pants and rompers
- light and warm sweaters
- light overalls
- at least one warm, waterproof overall with wool or fleece lining
- insulated envelope or blanket
- mittens
- several caps, light and warm hats
- several pairs of light and warm socks
- five diapers of calico and three diapers of flannel.
Regardless of what time of year you are leaving with your baby, you will need all of the above items. However, for checkout you can only take what is suitable for the weather conditions. For walks, you need to prepare diapers, a clean diaper, a bottle of water, dry and wet wipes, and scarves.
In rainy and windy weather
A cape or cover for the stroller would be relevant; in winter you can cover the stroller with a shawl, and in summer you can’t do without a mosquito net. In summer, the stroller can be replaced with a sling.
Walking with a child
is already on the seventh to tenth day after birth, but if the temperature is less than 5 degrees below zero, it is better not to rush to go outside. The duration of the first walk should be within 10-15 minutes, the time should be increased gradually. Subsequently, the infant is taken for walks two to three times a day: in the summer for 1-2 hours, in the winter for 30-40 minutes.
