The newborn from the maternity home is taken away from the child in a baby blanket or a special envelope, which quickly becomes small or even bought at one time. But there is also a more practical solution - a children's plaid.
Plaid for the newborn on the discharge
Children's plaid for newborns do not buy for one day - it can be used for walking with a baby on the street after discharge or shelter during sleep at home. Blouses for newborns should not only be beautiful externally. The baby blanket should hold the air well, keep the body warm, do not cause allergic reactions or irritation, keep a constant temperature when water evaporates, have optimal dimensions (not be too small or large), do not require complex care.
Baby blanket will often have to be cleaned or washed, and this should not affect its quality. After washing, the quality blanket is not deformed, stretched and does not decrease. It should dry quickly after washing, and the colors on the blanket should not stain water when washing.
Knitted blankets for newborns
Many women who have knitting skills can make a knitted blanket for the baby with their own hands. Knitting a plaid for a newborn begins with choosing the color and quality of the thread to make it. It should be remembered that woolen products keep heat well, while absorbing moisture (sweat), they remain dry for a long time, light and durable. But such products can cause allergic reactions, damage pests (require treatment with chemical means of protection), so they should not be used in children with a tendency to allergies. Such blankets in summer can cause overheating of the baby, and therefore woolen blankets are better suited in the cold season.
Why plaid is preferable to use for babies than any other types of blankets?
Duvets for newborns
The fluff or feather of waterfowl in blankets is used as a filler, they are light, well conduct air and retain heat, but absorb moisture, quickly damp and dry out for a long time. Such blankets can cause allergic reactions in children, some manufacturers among fluff can come across a rough feather that irritates the baby's skin. The duvet is difficult to erase, and its properties may be lost.
Cotton blanket for newborns
Such a blanket not only can not be washed, but also given to dry cleaners. It should be dried for a long time and must be often ventilated, as cotton wool easily absorbs and retains a long time the various smells. Quilted blanket is heavy and not suitable for newborns, despite the fact that it absorbs moisture well and rarely causes allergic reactions.
Synthetic blanket for newborns
Synthetic blankets poorly absorb moisture, poorly store heat compared to natural materials. Substandard synthetic blankets can be electrified, accumulate dust and be difficult to wash. But synthetic blankets do not cause allergies, they are light, compact and do not lose shape and quality after machine washing.
Rules for choosing a blanket for a newborn
If a child does not have a tendency to allergic diseases, then parents can recommend choosing a baby a blanket of wool. Older children will be suitable and a quilt,
Dyes on fabrics should be resistant to washing, quality and odorless. A new blanket in a baby is not used - it is first washed before use. A blanket for a newborn should be good for letting in air and keeping warm, the size of the blanket should not be too small for a child of this age and not too large compared to the size of the crib. Very comfortable in use can be a blanket - a transformer, which can be used as a blanket at home, and converted into an envelope using a device.
