WHAT CLOTHES SHOULD I BUY FOR BIRTH?

The arrival of a baby raises the question of how to choose the right clothes. Whether it's for pregnancy or for dressing the newborn when they return home, it can quickly become overwhelming. This guide contains all our advice to help you prepare for your baby's arrival, so you're perfectly equipped for the maternity ward and for your home.

Comfortable and practical clothes for the birth of your baby

At birth, plan for comfortable and comfortable clothes for the hospital and for the weeks following delivery. It's best to dress your baby in bodysuits, jumpsuits, and pajamas for the first few days. For practicality, opt for pajamas and bodysuits that are easy to put on.

Don't forget to pack several small blankets for the maternity ward and for home. This will give your baby a sense of security and keep them warm. It's crucial to pack clothing to protect your child from the cold and temperature fluctuations.
Don't forget the mother! It's also important to plan for practical and comfortable clothes to wear after birth so she feels comfortable.

What clothes should you choose for your maternity suitcase and baby's birth kit?

For those first moments with your baby, it's essential to pack a maternity bag. However, once you're back home, you'll also need to prepare by gathering the essentials to welcome your baby in the best possible conditions.

What to pack in your baby's maternity suitcase:

  • 6 to 7 bodysuits
  • 6 to 7 combinations (prefer one size (0-3 months) or be sure to mix sizes: take the newborn size and the 1 month size, or even 3 months)
  • 2/3 cups
  • Mittens to prevent him from scratching himself and to warm his hands.
  • 3 small blankets
  • 2 pairs of socks
  • 3/4 bibs

Avoid spending too much on newborn size (0 months), as your baby will grow quickly and this size is often only suitable for the first few days of life. Plan to have baby clothes for 1 to 3 months in your maternity kit, as your baby may outgrow newborn size (0 months).

Don't forget to cover your baby well at birth! The baby moves from the mother's womb, where it is exposed to a temperature of around 37 degrees, to a cooler environment of around 20 to 25 degrees. Infants are not able to regulate their body temperature independently, hence the importance of covering them well with a hat, a blanket, and warm materials.
