Bathrobe in the hospital
A dressing gown in a maternity hospital is the main clothing of an expectant mother, and her choice must be taken responsibly. The convenience of this garment can hardly be overestimated. In summer, the robe guarantees ventilation to the body, and on winter days it will always warm you. After the baby is born, these clothes will also come in handy at home during the long period of breastfeeding. Therefore, you need to choose only a very high-quality and convenient thing.
Which one is better to take?
When choosing the style of the dressing gown, be guided by your taste, however, you should not give priority to long models: they will restrict movement, plus going to the toilet can be not very comfortable.
Short sleeves will be more comfortable than long ones: they will not cling to unnecessary items and will provide ventilation for the arms and chest.
Options with a belt look more aesthetically pleasing, emphasize the waist.
The clasps of the robe should be as comfortable as possible, because they will have to be used several times a day (for example, to feed the baby). In this regard, lightning is the best option. You should not choose a model without fasteners at all, only on one belt. Before giving birth, it will be extremely uncomfortable: a big belly will open the robe, and you will be constantly nervous.
In specialized salons for expectant mothers, a zippered robe usually comes with a special shirt. The shirt is also a mandatory item of clothing in the hospital, you will have to wear it under the dressing gown. So that every time you breastfeed your baby, you do not have to lift it up, a large stretch neckline, a breastfeeding slot or a special clip are made on the shirts. You just need to unfasten the zipper on the robe and give the baby a breast
As for pajamas, not all maternity hospitals allow them to be worn, and an elastic band can put pressure on a big belly. In this regard, the best solution is special nighties, large, not restricting movements, with a deep cutout for night feedings or with an unfastened top. You can also buy them in specialized stores.
Fabric structure
The material of the dressing gown that you take with you to the hospital, of course, must be completely natural. This is, of course, cotton, but you can also get options from bamboo and linen. Recently, products made from environmentally friendly materials have been popular (they are also offered by salons for expectant mothers).
Another unique fabric is capiton, perfect for women in labor and nursing mothers. This is a natural fabric made of cotton fabric, consisting of two or three layers, between which a thin insulation is laid. Capiton is distinguished by a characteristic pattern in the form of rhombuses or squares. These robes are indispensable in the cold season, while looking very aesthetically pleasing.
An important thing is the smell of the dressing gown. Artificial additives often give clothes an unpleasant smell, which can be subtle to us, but it can be unpleasant for a baby to breastfeed.
If the dressing gown has lace, it should also be made from natural materials, be soft so as not to irritate the skin of the mother and baby.
Salons for expectant mothers offer such a thing as sterile kits for women in labor (this is a robe plus a breastfeeding shirt). This is a medical product that has passed mandatory certification. This set is made from 100% high quality cotton, packed in a special bag with an individual box and sterilized.
