Needlewomen know exactly what to give a mother in labor on the eve of the baby's arrival: an envelope for a newborn, knitted with knitting needles. The style and materials of the cocoon are selected in accordance with gender and time of year (summer, winter, demi-season). An envelope is a universal thing, indispensable in the first year of a baby’s life; models, diagrams and descriptions of which we offer: holiday, for every day, with and without sleeves, seasonal.
What is the envelope for?
From all the variety of types and models of envelopes, you can always choose something interesting and attractive. But besides this, the option you like must be convenient, thoughtful and meet a number of requirements. Only in this case will the child feel comfortable in it. We will talk about all this today.
Many mothers believe that they can easily do without it. And in some ways they are right. After all, why spend money on something that you can do yourself or make from an ordinary blanket. This opinion has a right to exist, but will the child be comfortable in such homemade structures?
Another thing is an envelope for a newborn, which has a number of advantages:
- Provides comfort and safety and does not restrict movement. The child feels calm in it, nothing presses him or causes discomfort;
- Is functional. Can be used as an envelope for walking, and some models can be turned into a blanket or blanket that can be used to cover the child while sleeping at home or on the street;
- A very convenient wardrobe item for a newborn. Having it in your arsenal, you can refuse many things at first. If we talk about winter, then you can do without a warm and sometimes not very comfortable jumpsuit. It is enough to put warm clothes on your baby, wrap him in an insulated envelope and not worry about him freezing during a walk.
Having assessed the benefits of an envelope for a newborn, you can safely go shopping. Do this in specialized stores, where upon request they can provide documentation confirming the quality of the product.
What is a discharge envelope?
A newborn envelope is an important attribute for transporting a child from the maternity hospital to his new home. This item can be used further; some transforming models are suitable for use instead of a blanket and overalls from birth to one year.
Envelopes for different weather conditions, boys and girls, differ in design and construction. The child feels warm and calm when he is inside a cozy nest. The envelope must be made of completely hypoallergenic materials and not pose any threat to the baby. The item is required to be purchased, or you need to sew it yourself. This is done before the birth of a child, when his gender and month of birth are already known.
There are summer, winter, demi-season models. With the envelope, the journey from the maternity hospital home will be as aesthetically pleasing as possible, you can take beautiful photos and videos, and pleasantly surprise your dad and all other relatives. This accessory can look like a blanket and have handles.

What types of envelopes for children are there?
Baby envelopes for newborns come in different varieties. Before you buy this or that model, you should understand the types and understand whether they meet your requirements. It is better to avoid thoughtless purchases, because this item of children's wardrobe should not only be beautiful, but also comfortable.
Envelope bag for newborn
Bag - used for walking in any weather. The design is very simple - it is a bag that is fastened with a zipper or Velcro. It's easy to place your baby in it. When he falls asleep during a walk, you can put him in his crib without waking him up.
For production, high-quality material is used, which is not afraid of moisture and wind. Therefore, children feel comfortable and safe during walks. In addition, there are models designed for different seasons. But the fact that babies grow quickly, and after a few months they no longer fit in them, is a significant disadvantage.
A cocoon envelope for newborns is also made based on the principle of this model, thanks to which children do not wake themselves up during sleep and feel comfortable. There are insulated and lightweight models on sale. Therefore, you can easily choose the right option for summer or winter.
Envelope blanket for children
A blanket is a practical option. Can be used as a blanket blanket for a newborn or as a blanket to cover the baby while sleeping at home or on a walk.
In appearance, this is an ordinary blanket, which is assembled in a certain way and secured with fasteners. A significant drawback of some models is that during assembly there are gaps left through which cold air can enter the baby.
Envelope with sleeves
With sleeves - resembles a jumpsuit, the upper part of which has sleeves, and the lower part is represented by a bag. An envelope with handles for a newborn is suitable when the baby is active on walks, moves a lot and strives to understand the world around him.
Newborn envelope with hard bottom
With a hard bottom is an envelope-bag containing a dense mattress. If necessary, it can be removed. This option is ideal for parents who are worried that they are holding their baby incorrectly. The removable mattress ensures that the baby's back is in the correct position.
Envelope for a newborn in a car
In appearance, it is no different from the listed models, with the exception of a small nuance - it has slots for car seat belts. You can use the envelope in a car seat for newborns. It is enough to place the baby in it, thread the straps through the provided slots and secure it. The envelope can be used for outdoor walks and safe car trips.
When is the purchase planned?
When choosing a blanket, the time of year matters a lot. If the baby is to be born in winter, then the blanket should be larger so that the baby can be completely wrapped in it, and at the same time there should be no air flow anywhere.
If the birth of a child occurs during the warm season, then, of course, a quilted blanket will not be needed for discharge, and its size may be more modest, since there is no need to wrap the baby in it like a cocoon. It may not even be a blanket, but rather a fleece or even a soft cotton blanket knitted.
Lightweight patchwork quilt
In spring and autumn, the weather can change dramatically even within one day, or even several hours. Therefore, when choosing a blanket for discharge, you need to take this into account.
In spring or autumn, give preference to blanket models with a removable backing, and it is better if it is a transformable blanket fastened with a zipper: it will protect your newborn baby from both the cold wind and the rain falling from a cloudy autumn or spring sky.
The size of the blanket for the off-season is desirable: it should be larger than the summer version, but smaller than the winter one.
Speaking about the time of purchase, I would also like to talk about when, in fact, to buy a blanket for discharge: before or after childbirth? Of course, in the latter case, the responsibilities for choosing this important item fall to the dad or other adult family members, with the exception of the mother of the newborn, who at this time is lying with the baby in the maternity hospital.
In general, there is no fundamental difference in when the blanket was purchased: on the same day when the pregnancy test showed the coveted two lines or an hour before discharge from the hospital. But these, of course, are two extremes that should be avoided, since in both cases errors in selection are possible.
Discharge kit
In the first one, it is easy to make a mistake about the gender of the child and take a blanket of the wrong color. This is a small thing, of course, but it can ruin the mood during discharge, and it won’t be very pleasant for the baby’s parents to explain to everyone they know why the boy was discharged from the maternity hospital in a pink blanket, and the girl in a blue one. This problem, of course, can be solved by simply taking a blanket of a neutral color, but it is still advisable not to buy such expensive and large things until the gender of the baby is known for sure.
But, as already mentioned, another extreme is also possible: when, for fear of making a mistake with the gender of the unborn child and, accordingly, with the color of the discharge kit, relatives delay the purchase of a blanket until the birth of the baby, and then in a hurry they buy something completely different from what they should have would. And then the color seems to be right, but such important characteristics as the quality of the thing, the materials from which it is made, and its size leave much to be desired.
Envelope-blanket for discharge “Creme Brulee”
What recommendations can you give regarding choosing the size of a blanket for a newborn?
- It is not necessary and even unnecessary to buy a blanket for discharge immediately as soon as pregnancy is confirmed. But even then, the expectant mother needs to start looking closely at the commercially available models and, most importantly, study information regarding their safety and quality. Take a closer look at blankets from different manufacturers, read reviews about their products, and only then decide what you will buy.
- When choosing a blanket for a newborn, give preference not only to beautiful, but also to safe models. And don’t forget about practicality: a blanket should not become a “one-time thing.”
- The size of the blanket should be suitable for the crib or stroller, it should not be too small or too large. Well, as mentioned above, it is unacceptable to buy a blanket for growth, with the expectation that it will still serve you and your child until school.
- Currently, there are models of blankets with buttons or Velcro. They are convenient because their size is easily adjustable.
- A winter blanket should always be larger in size than a summer blanket. And even more than the one designed for the off-season.
- When choosing the size of the blanket, decide what you will need it for after discharge. Will you wrap your baby in it, or maybe just put crumbs in a stroller or crib? By the way, if you need a blanket for a small crib or stroller, then it is better to choose small-sized models.

How to choose insulation for an envelope
The choice of insulation for the envelope should be given special attention. The comfort of the baby during walks depends on the correctness of his choice. The best option would be a model with a detachable lining. The advantage of this option is that, if necessary, it can be removed and cleaned, rather than washing the entire product.
Lining fillers:
- Sintepon . Suitable for use in spring and autumn. The advantages of the material include accessibility, practicality, and lack of special care. After washing, the product retains its shape. As for the disadvantages, these include an insufficient degree of heating, so it is better not to use synthetic winterizer for winter.
- Down (goose, duck) . Winter down blankets for newborns are ideal for cold weather. They are quite light and retain heat well, so the child will not freeze. Despite this, many parents refuse such a purchase due to the fact that with frequent use the material becomes lumpy, knocked out of the seams, and if the washing mode is incorrect, the product can be damaged. Fluff can cause allergies and runny nose in babies.
- Bamboo. This is a natural material that does not contribute to allergies and does not deform with frequent use. It is unable to provide a sufficient level of heat, so its use is only relevant in warm seasons.
- Sheepskin. Of the above options, it is this one that is recommended to be taken into account when choosing filler for the lining. Sheepskin has the excellent property of maintaining the temperature inside the product that corresponds to the baby’s body temperature. Throughout the entire walk, this indicator is maintained and does not depend on external conditions. The baby does not overheat and does not freeze. This is an ideal option for winter.
Optimal blanket size for a newborn
But still, what size blanket for newborns is considered ideal? In fact, a lot here depends on the time of year at which birth and discharge occur, on weather conditions and on the personal preferences of the parents. Of course, larger blankets are more practical as they can be used longer. But small blankets in the summer contribute to better thermoregulation and prevent the baby from overheating during his first “outing into the world.”
And so a blanket for a newborn can be one of the following sizes (in cm):
- 90x90
- 100x80
- 120x80
- 135x110
- 140x110
- 150x100
- 160x100.
Based on practicality considerations, for the cold season the optimal size of a blanket for a newborn is 140x110. For summer, it is better to choose a smaller model; here the best size can be considered 100x80.
Choosing a blanket in which the baby will be wrapped during discharge from the hospital is exactly the case when size matters. It should be neither too big nor too small. And it is better to focus on the size of a crib or stroller when choosing a blanket. Then this purchase will turn out to be not a “one-time” item, but a practical accessory that will probably last for more than one season.
What to look for when choosing an envelope
In order to provide your baby with comfort, you need to take the choice of an envelope seriously. To do this, you should pay attention to the following issues:
- Product size. Many parents make the same mistake - they buy models without taking into account the weight and height of the baby. In most cases, this is an envelope for growth. It is too spacious for the child, he does not feel protected, and if it is cold outside, he may freeze.
You should also avoid buying a baby envelope back to back, as the child will feel stiffness and discomfort. It is better to go shopping a few weeks, or even days before giving birth. At this time, the expected height and weight of the unborn child is already known. These indicators are worth taking into account.
On sale you can find 3 options for envelopes for newborns - with a birth weight of up to 3.3 kilograms, from 3.3 to 3.5 kilograms and from 4 kilograms.
- Season. If the baby was born in winter, then an insulated model would be the best option. You should pay attention to fillings such as sheepskin, down or faux fur. An excellent option for the off-season would be a demi-season model, which is lined with padding polyester or fleece. The material should protect the baby from wind and rain. For summer children, models made from natural materials (cotton) are suitable.
- Serviceability of auxiliary elements and ease of use. Everything should work properly - zippers, Velcro and other fasteners. When purchasing, you should pay attention to their quality. This is what guarantees that the item will last more than one season. All these auxiliary elements should be easy to fasten and ensure reliability.
- Material. The fabric for lining the outer and inner parts of the baby envelope must meet certain requirements. The outer material should be practical, easy to care for, and not absorb moisture. As for the internal material, preference should be given to natural fabrics that do not cause allergies. You need to choose material according to the season. Neither the outer nor the inner lining should be too slippery. It is not safe.
- High quality seams. There should be no protruding threads, weak or poor-quality seams. This spoils the appearance of the product and can cause discomfort to the baby, because his delicate skin, in contact with such seams, is subject to irritation. It is better to choose models in which the internal seams are hidden. To ensure that the product does not lose its appearance after the first wash, you need to choose the option where the external elements (stripes, appliqués, etc.) are sewn on and not held on with glue.
- Spaciousness. The envelope should not hinder the movements of the newborn. And for the most part this applies to winter models. If you place the baby in a tight envelope, wearing warm clothes, there is a high probability of overheating. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to whether there is sufficient free space at the bottom of the product.
- Practicality. If, after discharge from the maternity hospital, the envelope will be used for daily walks, then this issue needs to be given attention. Lace, bows and other festive paraphernalia look ridiculous in everyday life. Therefore, it is better to give preference to a practical product that you can decorate yourself for discharge.
- Versatility. You can save money by choosing a transformable envelope. Just one thing can be used as a walking cover, overalls, blanket. This model is functional and convenient.
It fastens with a zipper and easily transforms from an envelope into a jumpsuit. This is a good buy, as it is used from birth to one year, and in some cases longer.
Boring, gloomy envelopes are not in demand among parents. Therefore, manufacturers are trying to make them as attractive as possible. And for this they decorate with rhinestones, beads, appliqués and other things.
When choosing such a product, you need to first think about the safety of the child. After all, if the fixation is poor, beads and sequins can come off and get into the baby’s mouth or respiratory tract. All this could end in tears.
In order to protect the baby, you should choose models that do not contain elements hazardous to his health. It is better to give preference to an applique that is firmly sewn.
You should also refuse products that are decorated with fur for beauty. It can get into the baby's mouth or nose and also cause allergies.
Why do you need to buy a blanket?
Regardless of the time of year when a baby is born, his body is very vulnerable in the first days and weeks. Newborns easily catch any infection.
Therefore, it is necessary to limit the baby’s possible contact with pathogens, and at the same time protect him from adverse weather conditions.
Even if discharge from the maternity hospital occurs in the summer, it is better to wrap the child in a blanket or blanket.
Well, in the cold season, during discharge, you cannot do without a warm quilted or woolen blanket, envelope or overalls.
Many young parents buy envelopes for discharge, richly decorated with embroidery, lace, frills and ribbons. Of course, there is nothing reprehensible in this, since such envelopes look very impressive. But at the same time, mothers and fathers who prefer such an impractical thing forget that such an envelope for discharge from the maternity hospital is a disposable thing.
It is doubtful that it, like my mother’s fluffy, floor-length wedding dress, could have been used even one more time later. Discharge overalls are also not a very practical option. Kids grow out of them quickly, so you can hardly wear them more than a few times.
Child in a fancy blanket
But an elegant blanket for discharge is a completely different matter. It is comfortable and practical and, if not decorated with multi-layered frills of ribbons or lace, then it can be used as a regular blanket as long as the child can cover himself with it.
You can put it in a crib, in a stroller, or wrap your baby in it before going for a walk or visiting a doctor. An older child is placed on a blanket spread in the playpen or on the floor. In addition, perhaps it will later serve the younger brother or sister of your first-born.
If you are making your own discharge blanket, do not sew on trims such as frills, bows, or layered lace. It is better to make these decorative details removable: use the blanket with them on discharge, and later remove them and keep them as a keepsake, and use the blanket itself as usual.
Of course, given that such a blanket will be a reusable item, you need to pay special attention to its convenience, without forgetting the beauty of the product.
The main criteria when choosing should be quality, safety and hygiene.
And also the size, which also matters when buying a blanket.
Boy's blanket blanket
The size of the blanket should be such that the baby can be completely wrapped in it.
At the same time, there should still be some space left for freedom of his movements. But it is hardly wise to take an overly large blanket, hoping that it can then be used almost until school age.
As for the materials from which it is made, preference should be given to natural fabrics that do not cause skin irritation and do not lead to allergies.
Homemade envelopes
Some mothers are fond of needlework. And they are not limited to knitting hats or socks. Many of them make envelopes for newborns with their own hands. And they do it skillfully. This can be either a regular blanket envelope or more complex models.
Dexterity of hands, correct pattern and in a short time the product of the required model and color is ready. Knitted patterns have become popular recently.
Having decided to make something like this, you need to understand that the baby’s comfort depends on the material, correct measurements and quality work done. Therefore, if you really want to have an original envelope, but sewing and knitting are not your thing, turn to professionals. They will take into account all your wishes and sew a comfortable and original product for your baby.
An envelope for a newborn is a convenient thing, without which many modern mothers cannot imagine their first walks with their babies. After all, children feel comfortable and safe in them, but only if the product is of high quality and selected in accordance with their parameters.
Selecting an envelope by gender
For boy
Envelopes for boys don't have to be classic blue. The palette is huge. These are mainly original shades of blue and cyan. The choice of beige or snow-white color is not prohibited; it is universal and can subsequently be sold or gifted to a child of any gender.
Men's envelope designs are beautiful and varied. For example, there are products with decor in the form of a jacket or shirt with a tie or bow tie. Boys' blankets are decorated with bows, ears, and cute designs.

For girl
Envelopes for little girls have the most delicate designs. Usually these are bags, overalls or blankets with bows, frills, and lace. An envelope of any shade of pink, white, red, soft peach tones will suit a girl. The drawings on it can be absolutely anything. The most popular ones are polka dots, stars, bears, kittens, bunnies, and flowers.

Universal options
If the gender of the new family member is unknown, and it’s time to purchase an envelope, then you can choose a white, beige, orange, green, multi-colored or any pastel-colored envelope with neutral decor that will suit any child. If the sex of the child is known for sure, then you can buy a personalized envelope; parents and loved ones will really like it.

Estimated cost
Manufacturers compete with each other in envelope design, so the range is amazing. Fortunately, economic realities somewhat narrow the search. Prices depend on the popularity of the brand, configuration and season for which the product is purchased.
For a summer envelope you will have to spend from 500 to 2000 rubles, for the fall-winter season - from 1000 to 6000 rubles, and winter options are sold in the range of 1500 to 9000 rubles. Often the cost depends on external attractiveness. Therefore, simple models will cost much less than ceremonial ones.
The material of the envelope is the basis of the baby’s health
Fur envelopes
They retain heat very reliably if the fur is natural. The most environmentally friendly fur that will not cause allergic reactions in a child is lamb or sheep fur.
Benefits of lamb and sheep fur:
- easy;
- retains and absorbs moisture without letting it in;
- has antibacterial properties;
- exhibits excellent heat transfer properties;
- Reliably protects in windy and frosty weather.
Did you know that sheepskin is a unique fur that has the ability to relax muscles, improving blood circulation in the infant's body?
The disadvantage of overalls with natural fur is the high price.
But believe me, this is the only drawback compared to the arsenal of global advantages - trifles. The high price is compensated by the child’s health and excellent well-being. What is most important for moms and dads?
Fabric envelopes
Most often, waterproof textiles are used to sew such envelopes. This can be one of three types.
- Nylon. Nylon made of two weaves does not get wet and is not blown away by the wind.
- Membrane fabric. This fabric is presented in the form of a composition consisting of a base material on which a film is applied on top. This film reliably protects the baby from contact with moisture, but, unfortunately, it does not warm up. Let's be honest, envelopes made of membrane fabrics are a waste of money, since the quality of the membrane directly depends on the price. The higher the price, the higher the quality of the fabric, but why spend money on a membrane if you can use proven nylon or fleece?
- Fleece. This is a synthetic type of textile, its second name is artificial polyester knitwear. Its lifespan for sewing clothes for children is approximately thirty years. Fleece is a popular fabric among consumers. Why? It has unique breathability, which is important for a child.
Pros:
- elastic;
- easy to care for: regular machine wash - and your envelope will be like new;
- does not lose its heat-insulating properties even when wet;
- dries quickly;
- hypoallergenic fabric.
Envelope sizes
The size of the baby envelope is selected based on the child’s weight and height, as well as the time of year. The baby’s parameters are usually already known in the second half of the term by ultrasound; doctors can tell approximately how much weight he will gain and how much he will grow by the time of birth. In winter, you will need the most spacious product, since the child will be dressed in a hat, overalls and other clothes, he should be free.
The issue of sizing is important when you are buying a blanket envelope. Take a look at the dimensions when unfolded, and you will understand whether it will be convenient to use. It is best to buy a universal medium size envelope - 75 by 42 cm.
Fur or fabric envelope?
When choosing a winter envelope or a transformable zipper, the question arises, which insulation is better - fur or artificial fabric filling?
Sheepskin, wool, and goose down are used as natural fillers. A sheepskin envelope is good for newborns due to its environmental friendliness. Being an excellent thermostat, it will warm the baby even in the most severe frosts.
But along with the advantages of natural fillers, there are such disadvantages:
- Such things can provoke allergic reactions.
- They require additional care in the form of dry cleaning (sheepskin). It is not recommended to wash them.
Synthetic fillers, such as synthetic winterizer, holofiber, isosoft, are hypoallergenic and practical. They are easy to care for. Transformers with artificial insulation warm the baby at air temperatures down to -25°C.
It is impossible to say clearly which envelope will be better - fabric or fur. When choosing, you should take into account the season for which it is purchased, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of insulation.
Envelope-overalls
Modern mothers, when choosing which envelope is best for discharge in the summer, often choose an overall envelope. Envelope overalls, also known as envelope-cocoon, also known as envelope-bag, is a comfortable type of clothing for newborns. There is no need to swaddle, fold the corners of the blanket in a special way, tie bows, listen to the roar of your own child while his mother prepares him for going out into the world.
Handling the coverall envelope is simple:
- once - baby inside;
- two – the zippers are closed on the sides;
- three - let's go for a walk, the baby is comfortable, the mother is happy.
The design of all envelope products for babies is different. And what summer envelopes look like for discharge is similar.
- Primary colors: pink, blue, white in different shades, with or without delicate patterns.
- Decorations: frills, ruffles, embroidery, applique, etc.
- Head decoration: corner, veil, hat with ears, etc.
- Quality: lining 100% natural cotton.
- Everyone is fashionable, stylish, nice.
What to wear under an envelope in summer
- First, the diaper. Although they say that with desire and attention, you can understand from the first days of life what the baby wants.
- Secondly, a thin soft hat, covering the head, and a thin cotton vest. In a month you can try on a bodysuit.
- Thirdly, a thin diaper. You can only swaddle the legs, from the armpits. You can do the entire body from the shoulders. In hot weather, it is better not to swaddle at all. There will be no hassle with sweat rashes and diaper rash.
- Finally - an envelope. The one that is. With Velcro or buttons. In a bag or with legs. With a lace cape or cap.
- If decoration is not provided, you can make a beautiful bow and tie its ends around the dressed child.
We think through everything down to the smallest detail
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the basic principles that you should rely on when going to the store to buy an envelope for a newborn.
- Remember: the envelope is needed not only for discharge. A child needs it for a comfortable stay in the fresh air, so don’t chase beauty, choose quality.
- Do not forget that children grow very quickly, especially in infancy, so the lifespan of this clothing is short. You should not buy a huge envelope; it is unlikely to be useful when the child is six months old.
- Do not neglect climatic conditions. If you're a South Coast resident, ditch the idea of buying a fur or down envelope.
- Remember that you will have to dress your child, sometimes more than once a day, so the model should be convenient in terms of ease of putting on.
The choice of clothing should be approached practically. In order not to torment yourself with the question “What to do with the envelope after discharge?”, you should initially approach its choice correctly. Popular clothes for babies are those that can be used for some time after discharge.
If you choose an envelope wisely, and not rely on beauty, then you can become the owner of a multifunctional envelope that will serve as clothes, a sleeping mat, and a blanket for your baby.

Choose by season
Having a child comes with huge expenses. At some stage, there is a temptation to save on literally all children's things, citing the fact that a newborn is growing quickly and still will not remember what he was wearing. This approach is justified in all cases, except for the purchase of outerwear for walking. Walking envelopes must be warm and appropriate for the season.
- Summer protection from drafts.
Parents of summer newborns often do not understand why purchase additional insulation? But the very first cold from a draft puts everything in its place! But an ordinary sleeping envelope allows you to avoid this trouble. Moreover, such an attribute of clothing is necessary for children living in regions where prolonged rains and strong winds are a frequent occurrence.
Summer options are made from lightweight but durable materials. The fabrics are predominantly cotton with beautiful patterns or bright colors. The outfit looks bright and elegant, and can easily be transformed into something like a blanket or bedding. In cold seasons they are bought as an envelope for sleeping.
- Let's say: “No!” treacherous off-season.
In the off-season, the transforming envelope becomes especially popular. Its advantage is versatility. During a walk, the envelope completely envelops the baby, providing him with warmth and comfort. But if the weather suddenly changes, it won't be difficult for mom to turn the cocoon into a more ventilated blanket.
Particularly comfortable are demi-season models with a snap-on insulated lining, which is most often made of padding polyester or fleece. Will two weeks of frost suddenly strike? It is enough to take the lining out of the closet and the newborn will be protected from the cold.
- The bitter winter is not scary.
The warmest envelopes for winter walks are insulated with fur, most often sheepskin. However, their down counterparts also demonstrate high levels of thermal protection. Many manufacturers offer additional mattresses for winter models, and also stitch the “hat” that frames the baby’s face with fur strips. In such a robe, the baby is not afraid of any frost!
Good winter envelopes are offered by both domestic and Western manufacturers. It is important to check the recommended temperature when choosing. Of course, you can always further insulate a newborn by wearing more warm clothes, but why?
