What you will need
The first step is to figure out what you need for discharge if it’s winter outside. Clothing intended for newborns is quite expensive and therefore preference should be given not just to beautiful, but also to practical things . In this case, the selected set can be safely used in the future.
Speaking about how to dress a newborn for discharge in winter, preference should be given to those things that can protect the baby from the cold and provide him with comfort . Each of the wardrobe items should be considered in more detail. After all, if you think through everything in advance, you will be able to understand the entire range presented and choose the ideal option, while saving a considerable amount of money.
Kits
Items for discharge from the maternity hospital in winter are often sold in sets . Finding a beautiful option is not difficult. However, later it turns out that you only have to use a few items. All the rest remain untouched. Therefore, it is so important to determine which ones will be needed when mother and baby are discharged from the hospital.
Knowing the exact list of what the newborn will wear, it will not be difficult to create a suitable set yourself. Small sets turn out to be much more practical and at the same time justified from an economic point of view than those that consist of numerous items. Moreover, in the future everything missing can be purchased.
The list of items included in the kits can be quite varied. The set is formed by the manufacturer at his personal discretion. Regardless of its components, clothing for a newborn should be selected taking into account the following recommendations:
- safety and high quality of materials used. The fabric will come into contact with delicate baby skin and therefore must meet a number of requirements. It should be natural, pleasant to the touch and as soft as possible;
- It is not recommended to give preference to overly bright products. This is due to the fact that significantly more coloring substances are used in their production. Accordingly, the risk of developing an allergic reaction increases significantly. For the same reason, you should not give preference to products that emit an unpleasant, pungent odor;
- clothes for a newborn should not only be comfortable, but also, of course, beautiful. True, each person has his own concept of beauty. Therefore, when choosing, you should proceed from personal preferences and wishes;
- The thickness of the materials should be such that the baby is reliably protected from frost.

Keep the memories of being discharged from the hospital for life
You will definitely want to keep photographs of your discharge from the hospital. You will definitely be forced to take photographs from a staff photographer who collaborates with a medical institution. Give preference to a professional who you find yourself and who specializes in photographing children. This way you will get really interesting and original shots, where not only the baby in his discharge suit will be beautiful (no one has yet managed to spoil the baby), but also all the family members. It is also important for parents, and especially mothers, to be tender and touching in the photo, because they will be stored in an album that is passed down through generations.

Envelope
When picking up a newborn from the maternity hospital in winter, choosing a suitable kit turns out to be very problematic. The cost of such products is quite high and parents want them to last as long as possible. In addition, the envelope will be captured in photos and videos, and accordingly, it should have the most attractive appearance. Naturally, you need to choose a fairly soft, comfortable and warm option. It is not surprising that certain difficulties arise with the choice.
To choose the right model, you should consider the most common and popular options. The most elegant envelope is considered to be a blanket envelope decorated with ribbon and lace. It has a very festive look, but it also has a number of disadvantages:
- quite easily soiled;
- It won't last long. The child will grow out of it quite quickly;
- causes difficulties in care. Often, ruffles take on an unattractive appearance after washing.
You can also opt for a human envelope, which is insulated with down or padding polyester. Such models have a number of advantages. Among them:
- solemn, even pompous appearance;
- It is very easy to dress a baby in it;
- does not allow moisture to pass through;
- quite light and at the same time warm;
- Can even be used in a car seat.
True, the baby will grow out of it quite quickly. In addition, the insulation may become loose after washing. Accordingly, the envelope will no longer be so warm.
If the newborn is discharged in the winter, it is best to give preference to sheepskin products. Such envelopes are durable and retain their original appearance for a long time. In addition, they do not get wet. When the baby grows up, such an envelope can be used as a bedding for a stroller or as a kind of cover for the legs. The only disadvantage of such envelopes is their high cost and not very elegant appearance. Such models are practical and high-quality, as comfortable as possible, but it’s difficult to call them solemn.
Also, transformable covers can be classified as a separate type. The insulation of such products can be made of sheepskin, padding polyester and down. Their main advantage is multifunctionality. Transformers are equipped with zippers, thanks to which the envelope can easily be converted into a jumpsuit. Accordingly, it will last significantly longer than classic models.
Cloth
When the top item of clothing has been chosen, you need to decide what to wear for the newborn in the winter under the envelope. If you make a list at the bare minimum, it should include the following things:
- diaper;
- underwear. For example, traditional onesies with a vest or the recently popular slips;
- cap or cap;
- booties or regular socks.
It is extremely important that clothes for newborns are made of soft materials. When choosing a style, you should avoid products equipped with a tight elastic band in the waist area. Such products can rub the umbilical wound, which by this moment simply does not have time to heal. Also, do not give preference to things that are worn over the head. Dressing up your baby will be very inconvenient.
Clothing for discharge for newborns must be ironed and pressed. It is recommended to supplement the above list with a warm suit. It is customary to put it directly on underwear. When sewing it, wool, fleece, velor and knitwear can be used.
Blanket
Often, instead of a traditional envelope, an ordinary blanket is taken for discharge. It should be chosen especially carefully. It is the filler that deserves special attention. It must be safe and provide maximum comfort. The filler can be polyester, cotton wool, padding polyester, down or wool. Each of these options has both advantages and disadvantages.
For example, down is quite warm and light, but is difficult to wash and can provoke an allergic reaction, while cotton wool, although warm, is very heavy. Synthetic materials are easy to care for, can be washed even in a washing machine, are lightweight and warm, but do not allow air to pass through well.
Duvet cover
If the choice is made on a blanket, you need to give it an elegant look. True, it is very impractical to buy the most ceremonial product. It is much better to simply choose a spectacular duvet cover for it. Even the simplest blanket will be transformed beyond recognition.
Both natural and synthetic materials can be used to make a duvet cover. Naturally, it is recommended to give preference to the first option.
cap
In winter, just a thin cap will not be enough for your baby. It is also extremely important to choose a warm hat that will be worn over the first headdress. The lower accessory should be made of natural and soft fabric. A warm hat should be equipped with ties. Thanks to this, it will fit as tightly as possible to the head.
Bow
This decorative element will be needed if a blanket is selected for discharge. According to traditions, blue or light blue options are chosen for boys, and red or pink for girls. True, it is not at all necessary to follow established norms. The color palette can be safely expanded.
In addition, you can tie a bow not only in the traditional way. Now you can find many master classes with the help of which you can create very unusual and very beautiful compositions. At the same time, even the simplest envelope will look much more attractive and original.
Additional items
You also need to choose baby booties or tiny socks. Often parents overlook this minor detail. Although it is of no small importance in winter. After all, it is extremely important to keep your child’s feet warm.
What is included in the discharge suit?
The suit for discharge from LinoBambino includes a jumpsuit and a headband or cap - it depends on the chosen brand. Some models come with scratches. If they are not included in the kit, we will definitely add them upon your request.
If you buy a knitted suit for discharge, it must be equipped with a slip made of cotton knitwear, which is worn under the bottom. Also, a slip is a mandatory element for a satin dress, or another one made using decorative fabric or tulle on the skirt. Always pay attention to this. No matter how soft and pleasant the material may seem to you, satin, brocade, cord lace or yarn with the addition of acrylic are not natural. And for newborns, it is strictly prohibited for artificial materials to touch the body. Therefore, be sure to wear the slip from the kit underneath.
Also take care of what you will wear when you take your child out of the hospital. You can give preference to classic envelopes for checkout, which at LinoBambino are unusually delicate and beautiful - made in-house and from popular brands. If you are superstitious and don’t want to show your baby to anyone, even close friends, choose a spectacular carrier. It will serve you not only for discharge, but also at home for a photo shoot or on special occasions. And if you are picking up your baby from the maternity hospital in the summer months, an exclusive blanket will come in handy. Then you can cover your child with it in a crib or stroller - this is a functional thing.
Palette of shades and the right number of things
When preparing everything for discharge, special attention should be paid to the shade palette. Many people prefer the traditional options, wearing blue for boys and pink for girls. True, the color range is much wider and you can safely select extraordinary options, thereby moving away from established and fairly boring stereotypes. It is recommended to give preference to calm tones.
When planning to be discharged from the maternity hospital, you need to prepare the following list of items:
- diaper (2 – 3 pcs.);
- knitted bodysuit (1 piece);
- warm suit (1 pc.);
- booties or socks (one pair);
- knitted cap (1 pc.);
- warm hat (1 pc.);
- blanket with duvet cover and bow or envelope (1 pc.);
- children's frost protection cream (1 pc.).
This will be quite enough for the baby to be delivered home safely.
How to choose a suit for a newborn
Select a knitted suit for discharge taking into account your personal taste preferences. You can also rely on the mother’s outfit so that she and the baby look harmonious. You should not duplicate the colors of the mother’s clothes and overalls for the baby’s discharge. A tiny lump in the photographs will not be noticeable at all, as it will blend into the background of the adults.
You can buy a jumpsuit for discharge as a unisex one - these are stylish and laconic outfits that suit both boys and girls equally well. If you want to emphasize the gender of your happiness, choose an outfit that will clearly indicate this. For girls, these are elegant suits with fluffy dresses or laconic skirts made of satin or tulle, which complement the knitted slip for discharge. Your daughter will be a real doll. In this outfit, you can easily arrange her first professional photo shoot at home. And the boy’s suit looks impressive, complemented by a vest, bow tie and matching cap.
Discharge knitwear does not have to be white, beige or pink. Suits in different colors with inserts of turquoise, powder, bronze, and gray also look stylish. They emphasize the tenderness of the baby and add color. A knitted suit for discharge can be bright, for example, tiffany, fuchsia or lavender. After all, you will definitely want to wear it again, especially since they are practical to wear and have a size of 0-3 months.
Be sure to consider the size range. At LinoBambino, discharge suits are offered in two sizes - 56 and 62. The second option is relevant not only for especially large children, but also for those who want to dress up their baby at home for a few more months. And if you decide to baptize your baby at one and a half to two months, then it will be perfect for the entire first half of the sacrament, until the priest immerses the baby in the font. And only then will your godmother put a baptismal shirt on him.

Actions before the trip
Before leaving the maternity hospital, the newborn should be fed. It has been noted that the vast majority of infants cannot calmly maintain the interval between feedings that is recommended. Therefore, even if the time has not come to feed him, you should still put the baby to the breast. If this recommendation is ignored, discharge may be far from calm. The baby will simply start crying, and this will certainly affect the parents’ mood.
You should also make sure that not only the child, but also the new mother is dressed up. Often they simply forget about her on such a significant day, paying all attention to the new member of the family. It’s worth thinking in advance about what is best to wear for discharge and preparing your outfit before giving birth. It is advisable that the woman can perform these actions independently. In such a situation, not only the child will look festive. Photos and videos from the discharge will turn out to be as festive as possible and will be pleasant to review even after many years.
