Gifts for discharge from the hospital

The birth of a child is always a joyful and long-awaited event. Not only close relatives, but also friends rush to congratulate mom and baby. The best gift ideas for such a special occasion are collected in this article.

It is very important to think over a gift for discharge from the hospital in advance. It will be great if the presented things are useful for both mom and baby. However, if you want to do something pleasant, first of all, to a friend or sister, then you can use the following list of useful things for a newly-made mom:

• Certificate for spa, wellness, fitness or yoga. Such a present is perfect for an active woman who is used to taking care of herself. After giving birth, many women may experience problems with skin tone, as well as being overweight, so such a gift will come in handy. It is better to purchase a certificate that is not tied to a specific date and time. Thus, a friend or sister can safely dispose of it at a convenient time for her, even if there is a baby.

• Radio or video nanny. This item is extremely useful for the parents of the baby and greatly simplifies the care of the baby. However, this technical tool most often belongs to the category for which a young mother is sorry to spend money. Therefore, the radio nanny will be a wonderful practical gift. Due to the fact that good models are not cheap, it is usually customary to collect money for such a present from several friends or relatives.

• Bottle sterilizer with warming function. Such a gift will become relevant if the mother has little or no milk at all.Then this device will make it easier to feed the baby with formula. The convenience of the sterilizer is especially important with the obligatory night feedings, which can be very exhausting for the mother at first. Therefore, having made a choice in favor of this gift, you should be ready to hear words of gratitude and rave reviews from a relative or friend more than once.

• Car seat. Such a gift is unlikely to suit a friend, due to the high cost, but it is quite possible to give this irreplaceable thing to a sister or other relative. Now almost every family has a car, and many women drive well themselves. The 0+ car seat will make it easier for the mother to visit the clinic and other places with the baby, as well as make travel safe for the little person.

The most popular as a present on the occasion of the birth of a baby is, of course, clothing. As a rule, it is always given a lot, because children grow up very quickly in the first year of life. If you really want to give exactly things, then the following nuances should be taken into account.

• Don't buy a lot of one-piece clothing in the same size. The best solution would be to buy several bodysuits, slips and shirts of the smallest size 56 and several pieces to grow. Many babies grow 4-5 cm in the first month of life, and in a month their clothes will simply become small.
• Give preference to natural fabrics. Cotton and soft knitwear are ideal. Baby's skin is very sensitive, so the synthetics can cause serious irritation.
• When choosing clothes for a crumb, you should give preference to buttons, not buttons. This will save not only time for dressing and undressing the baby, but also the nerves of the mother. In addition, the slip should have a comfortable bottom, allowing you to change the diaper without removing the whole clothes.
• All decorative elements must be firmly sewn and not have sharp parts that can injure the baby. It is better if the decor is also textile or thermo.

Practical gifts for a baby will not only delight the mother, but will also significantly simplify life. Taking care of the health and well-being of the baby, you can give the following gifts.

With the birth of a baby, special requirements are imposed on the microclimate in the apartment. A comfortable humidity level, especially in winter, is difficult to achieve due to heating. Dryness in a room can cause a baby to feel unwell, as well as frequent colds. Therefore, every mother will appreciate such a gift.

Most children's stores offer ready-made bathroom hygiene kits. However, it may turn out that it will be cheaper to assemble the necessary things yourself, and the quality of the items will be better. Such a set may contain:

• large terry towel with a "triangle";
• 2 small towels;
• a set of toys for bathing;
• thermometer for water;
• hypoallergenic products for bathing a baby (gel, shampoo, soap, baby washer).

A great and practical gift, especially for winter babies. In cool weather, sometimes you don't want to take out the stroller for a 20-minute stay outside with your baby. Then the envelope will be a great way out:

• the baby can be quickly collected for a walk and then also quickly undressed;
• there is no risk of catching a cold in the envelope, as it is reliably protected from wind and cold.

Such a gift will not be useful in the first months of a baby's life, but it will be appreciated by the mother at its true worth at 4-5 months of age. It is at this age that the child spends a lot of time lying on his stomach, and a rug with a bright design will perfectly develop sensing, stimulate the baby's motor and cognitive activity. Excellent rugs are made by Tiny Love and Fisher Price.

Traditionally, the main difference between a gift for a newborn girl and a boy is the color scheme. All shades of pink are suitable for a girl, blue and blue for a boy.

Sometimes you want to please a new mother with something unusual. Then the original surprise will be something that you can do with your own hands. It is also not forbidden to purchase cute and useful things from handmade masters.

You can make the following presents yourself.

• Cake or other diaper figurines. On the Internet, you can find master classes that describe in detail how to make a snail, a bear and even a motorcycle from these hygiene items. Such a gift will not only be beautiful and original, but also useful, since diapers in the first months of a baby's life are the main "consumable" material.
• Embroidery pattern with baby's metric. The gift cannot be prepared in advance, but only after the birth of the child. The picture usually indicates height, weight, time and date of birth. You can also embroider the name of the city where the baby was born. Usually the metric is complemented with a suitable image. The color scheme is performed in classic shades (blue for a boy and pink for a girl).
• Knitted booties and plaid. Such gifts always radiate warmth, they are especially dearly loved by close relatives. It is important to use yarn that does not contain natural wool and is not capable of causing skin irritation and allergies. Ideal for knitting from acrylic.
• Scrapbooking style photo album. A similar thing, if there is no experience in self-production, is best purchased from experienced craftswomen. Handmade photo albums usually contain a large number of additional sections and pockets where mom can store the first curl, tags from the hospital and other lovely things.

The selection of a gift for discharge from the hospital is a responsible event. In each case, completely different things can turn out to be an ideal present. But with a little care, you can easily guess what will be the most desirable and useful for both mom and baby.
