Bathrobes for pregnant women in the maternity hospital

The life of the mother of the baby for some time becomes very domestic, it can not do without a robe. And this period begins in the hospital. Therefore, to choose a robe to wear it with pleasure must be in advance at 7-8 months of pregnancy.

When everything is clear with the hospital, you can go to his website. There are recommendations on the collection of an alarming briefcase and the requirements of the hospital for women's clothing during the prenatal and postnatal periods. If pregnant women can wear what they like, then mommies' clothes have their own requirements. Some maternity hospitals offer women hospital gowns and robes, and somewhere for women in labor you can take your clothes.

Hospital clothing does not have a great taste, but it is clean and sterile. Unfortunately, from frequent washing and disinfection, bathrobes and shirts become stiff, shapeless, quickly tear and become unusable. therefore usually mothers after childbirth are given only shirts to be replaced every day, and they suggest taking bathrobes from home.

Since the mother is not in the ward all the time, she can go out into the corridor and see her relatives, she needs a bathrobe. It replaces the usual clothes, warms and, of course, emphasizes individuality and style. It is better to have a pair of dressing gowns: simple and comfortable, to wear it in the ward, as well as more dense and closed to exit into the corridor, dining and meeting with relatives who will certainly want to visit you.

Sterile sets of a robe and a shirt are often put into ready-made kits for women in labor. In practice, they can only be useful during childbirth. Such a one-time kit does not require washing, but this is its only advantage. For every day this option is not suitable: it is not too beautiful, it makes feeding difficult and does not warm at all. Yes, and the kids in the ward next to the mother gain the first immune experience, because in everyday life it is impossible to create absolute sterility.

What kind of robe to take with you depends on the season and your preferences. In a warm room next to the baby you will be comfortable in a simple short robe made of natural fabrics with a short sleeve. Its fabric should not be rigid, fleecy, have stripes, applications and decorations, but you can easily put on a more elegant model to go out into the corridor. Refuse the lace peignoirs: they are unlikely to be appreciated by anyone, and luring dressing gowns are impractical in the maternity hospital.

Outside the room, Mom needs to protect herself from drafts and cold, therefore, the robe should tightly cover the chest. BUT the wards are quite warm, so you can wear comfortable short-sleeved versions with short sleeves. Among the styles of gowns for pregnant women and mothers, models with a smell on the belt and with a zipper are considered the most relevant. They can be quickly removed and put on, they are practical.

Even future mothers should definitely prepare a nightie or shirt in the hospital. Emphasis should be placed on the choice of the shirt that you will wear after giving birth. In the maternity hospital they give out changeable underwear, but after all these things will be useful at home, so you can buy them in advance. For pregnant and lactating mothers, there are special paired sets of shirts and robes, and you can collect them separately. In paired sets, the length of the robe will be correct (it closes the shirt completely), and the combination of color and fabric is ideal.

Differences "nursing" and "pregnant" nighties in a free silhouette.A deep neckline or a cut will help the mother quickly free her breasts from clothing and give her baby. If the waist is made on such models, then under the breast and not tightly to the body. Such underwear should be from natural materials, preferably without ruches and jewelery, seams on the chest, so as not to irritate the skin.

Often the shirt is worn as underwear for a bathrobe and as clothes for a night's sleep. Therefore, it is useful to buy a pair of shirts, taking into account the weather: summer can be on the straps, but the winter of the more dense and warm fabric and with short sleeves. It is better to choose loose, without cuffs and tight elastic bands.

They will be pleasant and you, and the delicate skin of the baby. Non-natural fabrics have a specific odor that the crumb may not like, and even such materials can cause allergies or discomfort in delicate baby skin. Mommy will also be more comfortable, because she will wear a robe and a shirt almost all day.

The easiest way to make sure that the robe is sewn from the right fabric is to stroke the material with the palm of your hand. If the villi remain on the hand, then such a robe cannot be used to care for a newborn. Many villi are found in fabrics made from low-quality yarns (they are short fibers and poorly twisted) or one that has been in stock for a long time.

The most popular fabrics are cotton, linen and bamboo. If cotton and flax are very soft, delicate, are quickly washed and dry well, then flax is a more capricious material. Products from it differ in a characteristic grayish shade, are quickly rumpled and slightly heavier in weight than other eco-friendly fabrics. From the latest developments can be identified capiton: well evaporates moisture, practical, does not lose its shape after numerous washings.

These fabrics are versatile, but especially good in heat. But for cool rooms are relevant bathrobes of plush flannels. Terry bathrobes are also suitable for a cold winter. Of course, it is heavier, but still from natural materials, perfectly absorb moisture and store heat.

• Special models for expectant mothers and lactating women often differ from “ordinary” gowns. “Relieve” access to the chest helps smell, lightning and cuts. Now designers offer to make cuts on the back of the robe so that it can be easily pulled forward if the clasp fails.

• Free short gowns and shirts are especially comfortable: they are practical, allow less time to spend on examination at the gynecologist and in the treatment room, they can be quickly removed and dressed, they are not confused in their legs and will not “sweep” the floor. But very short ones will not work: they do not close the shirt, they will not warm in winter and it will be difficult, unaesthetic to lean in them.

• The ideal length of these gowns from mid-thigh to the knee, sleeve length - from one third to three quarters. They will be comfortable to fasten a pregnant mom, they fit perfectly on any figure, and are still practical and safe. You can choose in simple stores, specialized for expectant mothers. In the latter, the requirements for materials and convenience are higher, and they serve for years, becoming loved.

• Do not try to save much on a dressing gown and a shirt: this is your future “uniform”, choose beautiful and pleasant clothes for yourself, not forgetting about naturalness and comfort. This choice is often pleasing to the eye and is very uplifting for women, because we simply adore everything beautiful and functional. And in your favorite dressing gown, home chores become so pleasant and easy! This is very important, because in the first months the baby will need mother's love, care and good mood!
