The birth of a child is a long-awaited and joyful event. During pregnancy, future parents and their relatives carefully prepare for the birth of the baby. When a new family member is born, the most responsibility is entrusted to fathers and grandparents. They are the ones who prepare the baby's first things, collect discharge packages and give gifts. But sometimes it happens that relatives, and even the mother herself, do not know what to put in this or that maternity hospital bag. Our article will tell you in detail about the procedure for collecting a mother in labor, the necessary things for the baby and gifts for the staff.
For a boy to be discharged from the maternity hospital in the summer, a list of clothes
For discharge from the maternity hospital, baby stores sell various types of kits for newborns. Often they put a lot of extra, unnecessary things in them or do not report the most necessary things at all. A set of clothes for a boy is no different from a set for a girl. The main thing is not to forget that excessively wrapping a child will lead to heat rash, which can develop into chronic skin rashes.
As a rule, children are discharged 3-4 days after birth if the baby does not experience any complications. During this short time, the baby's skin did not adapt to the external temperature, despite the summer heat.
- The first thing you put in your baby's bag is a blanket or diaper. This will make it easier for young parents to hold their baby. As a garter, use a ribbon or special tuck bows, which are sold ready-made. Some blankets and swaddles already have built-in Velcro or zippers. In this case, bows will not be needed;
- Diapers - don't forget about your child's toilet. Even if you drive for 5 minutes, a newborn can do a lot of things in such a short period of time;
- A cap or thin cap. It is advisable to take things made of cotton so that the baby’s skin can breathe;
- Anti-scratch pads - put on the baby's hands so that he does not scratch himself with thin, sharp nails;
- Young gentleman's suit. A fashionable, but not entirely comfortable outfit for a baby is increasingly being chosen for discharge. A small jacket and a stylish bodysuit will make the little one look like a serious citizen. From the looks of it, in such a suit you can’t tell that the guy was born just 4 days ago;
- For practicality and convenience of the baby, it is still better to choose the classics. A thin bodysuit with short sleeves or a jumpsuit. If the baby is large, then you can wear a suit consisting of shorts and a T-shirt;
- Booties or socks if parents chose a bodysuit as their main clothing.

For a girl to be discharged from the maternity hospital in the summer, a list of clothes
Summer is the warmest time and ideal for releasing babies. What is needed to discharge a girl? The answer to this question is that the same things are suitable as for a boy, but this will be an incomplete answer. The fact is that modern children's clothing manufacturers have developed the most fashionable outfits for newborn princesses. From the very first days, babies are dressed up in dresses, skirts and bows. But first things first.
- Panties with gauze insert. A baby's tender butt needs to breathe. And it’s better if these are homemade diapers. Store-bought diapers serve as an analogue for panties. 1 PC. will be quite enough;
- Cotton bodysuit. A small suit with long sleeves and pants can be replaced with a body dress;
- A cap with ties or a fitted cap. Even in summer, children's ears need to be protected from barely noticeable wind;
- Booties, knee socks, socks. The smallest sizes are sold for a height of 54-56 cm. This detail is especially important if the child will be discharged in one bodysuit;
- Blanket or light envelope for discharge. It should be accompanied by elements that secure the baby, a bow or a belt. You can replace the blanket with a beautiful corner made of thin fabric with a ruffled edge and embroidered with beads.
At discharge, girls use much more decorations: bows, ribbons, decorative rhinestones. But in all this surroundings it is important not to forget about the convenience of the little one.

What kind of blanket for discharge from the maternity hospital in the summer?
Modern markets and stores offer a lot of accessories for newborns. These include envelopes, blankets, blankets intended for the discharge of babies. When choosing this important attribute, you should pay special attention to the size of the blanket.
The child must fit completely along the length and width of the canvas. In addition to this, the child needs to be covered with a corner of the blanket so that the scorching sun does not fall on his face. Therefore, the size of the garment should be taken with a margin, but not to overdo it: 100*100 cm, a maximum of 120*140 cm will be suitable for the summer period.
Don't forget about the quality of the fabric. Among the abundance of lace, knitted, crocheted envelopes, you need to choose a pleasant and delicate fabric. Linen, cotton, viscose are the most suitable for children's skin. The material should not be thick. The ideal blanket would be a little thicker than a linen diaper. When purchasing a blanket for discharge, the practicality of the item is also taken into account. It is better to give preference to a blanket or envelope that will be useful for further use, for example, for a child traveling in a stroller or while the child sleeps in a crib.

How to make a bow for discharge from the hospital
The most beautiful things are always made to order or with your own hands. They contain not only quality, but also the love of the master. We suggest making a bow for the little princess's graduation with your own hands. For this we need 2 colors of ribbons: pink and white.
For boys, you can make a similar decoration in other colors.
Full list of materials:
- 1 m of dark pink satin ribbon (width 2 cm);
- 10 cm light pink satin ribbon (width 2 cm);
- 1 m of white satin ribbon (width 2 cm);
- Scissors;
- Glue cartridges + gun;
- Tweezers;
- White (pink) thread;
- Needle;
- Lighter;
- Ruler (centimeter);
- A beautiful bead or rhinestone.
First of all, cut the dark pink ribbon into 13 cm pieces.
Roll up a piece of tape as shown in the photo below. Glue with hot glue. This way you need to make 7 pink petals.
By analogy, we make 7 more white petals. We fasten them in a circle with hot glue, gluing them between the pink ribbons. For reliability, the petals can be sewn. To do this, use white or pink threads.
Now let's start making small petals. Cut 5 squares of light pink ribbon. Let's burn them in a circle using a lighter. Take 1 square and fold it in half. You should get a triangle.
We fold the triangle, bending the edges to the middle, as in the photo.
Fold the resulting square in half and cut off the “tail” hanging from the bottom. The cut piece should be half of the triangle (you can grab a little less fabric). In this case, the tape must be singed and glued with hot glue.
You should get 5 petals like this.
Connect them together using a glue gun. Glue 2 flowers together.
Decorate the edges and middle of the ribbon bow with rhinestones. Now the resulting bow can be attached to a large wide ribbon of pink or white color and used to discharge the baby.
Extract from the maternity hospital, what to give to the staff
- Fruit basket;
- Flowers;
- Package with sweets, coffee, tea, wine;
- Set of dried fruits, oriental sweets;
- Cosmetics line. A set of creams for the face, hands, feet;
- Cake + tea. As a rule, such a set is purchased for all personnel who took part in the birth. 2-3 cakes, good tea and refined sugar, a classic that is most often given to staff.
We decorate the street, courtyard entrance
Decoration with balloons
If you need to decorate your yard, look at the ideas in the pictures (the elements are listed there from which you can choose the most suitable ones, don’t be confused by the wedding title of the article :-)):
- helium chains
- figures from balls (giant toys)
- letters and numbers from balloons (baby’s initials or date of birth)
- fountains and bouquets
At the entrance, helium balloons are often tied along the railings up to the 2-3rd floor, if the house does not have an elevator. Then these balloons can be brought home “under the ceiling” or distributed to guests to be launched from the balcony with wishes.
Foam letters
They are worth ordering to decorate the yard of a private house. It makes for a wonderful memorable photo session. Most often this is the baby’s name, but sometimes they choose the carved words “Thank you for your son”, “You were born!” “This is your home”, “We have been waiting for you…” and so on.
However, letters can be made of different materials, here are many examples.
