Everyone loves to receive gifts. And young mothers are no exception. Moreover, they now need to immediately acquire a fairly significant economy for a little man. But how not to be mistaken? It is unlikely that any, even the most thrifty, family wants to become the owner of children's baths of all colors of the rainbow and a thousand and one teethers. In addition, pleasant little things my mother sometimes wants to choose herself. But the right to please her more expensive, but no less necessary purchase will gladly give someone else. About what to give for the day of discharge from the hospital to the young mother and will be discussed below.
We decided at our choice to list things that parents acquire for children is not in the first place. But they sigh in secret, seeing them on a visit or in the window of a specialized store. If you know that the family you want to please does not have such things - consider the following options.
1. Scales for newborns (electronic)
Of course, the baby and in the walls of the hospital and weighed, and sprouts measure. But a rare mother will refuse to have a measuring device under her hands, accurately fixing the coveted gain in weight.
This, they say, is a "fashion thing." Girek, who so amused us (regardless of age) in pediatric rooms, you in digital scales will not find. But there are new opportunities. For example, you can:
- to measure not only the weight, but also the growth of the baby;
- weigh the child without taking into account the weight of the diaper on which it lies (function "Tage");
- determine the exact weight, even if the baby does not want to lie quietly ("Weight-BLOCK" function);
- save up to 20 measurements in the memory of the memory, breaking them, if necessary, into different children;
- a removable bowl, which some scales have, can be removed when the baby is older, and use them as floorboards.
The scales work both from batteries and from the mains and, of course, are absolutely safe for the baby! Electronic scales for the youngest are made of hygienic material (special plastic), resistant to mechanical damage and abrasion. So "transfer" or leave for the posterity of such a thing is not only possible, but also not ashamed.
2. The Stirrer
This can be the very first swing for a little prank, from the day of discharge from the hospital. They are ideal for kids whose pranks do not go beyond the persistent unwillingness to fall asleep. Lighters are usually very compact and easily folded, which means they are mobile and can serve their owner both outside the home, for the joy of the father and mother. They can be used from birth and up to a year or more, depending on the weight of the child. Lighters have several levels of seat tilt and support for the child's head, as well as about 6 different speeds of motion sickness, among which parents can choose the most suitable to the circumstances, and even gradually replace them. You can make music and in front of the baby's eyes though a whole day will be spinning a small toy carousel.
3. Baby monitor or baby monitor
Many parents would give a high price for the opportunity to move away from the baby and at the same time keep an eye (or ears) from it. Progress has long gone to meet them and is not going to stop halfway.
Now you can give the youngest mom the most valuable - peace and confidence in the safety of the baby. The baby monitor consists of two blocks, one of which is always carried by the mother (or dad) with them, being separated from the child in the apartment by walls. Even in a small space of a small apartment, a woman separated from her baby by two doors is experiencing a constant and quite justified anxiety and a desire to check every half-minute "how it is there."
The "baby" unit of the baby monitor is left next to the baby, and at a distance of up to 300 m in the open space and 50 m in the closed space, it transmits all the sounds around the "parent block". The function "Intercom" allows you not only to hear the child, but also to talk with him. It makes the device much more expensive, but it can serve as a means of communication with a matured joker, especially in large apartments.
The digital version of the baby monitor is characterized by a higher level of communication quality and its security. The latter can come in handy if the baby monitor is used in the home, not only to nurse the youngest generation.
The video monitor, accordingly, allows not only to hear, but also to see the child, that is, to get a full picture of what is happening to him at any given time. The baby block of the baby monitor is a video camera, and the screen is located on the parent. In the open space, different models transmit the signal for a distance of 90 m.
Some devices provide for the connection of more than one video camera, which is very convenient if the child is already able to get out of sight of one of the devices. In addition, the baby monitor can be connected to the TV and monitor the child from another room on the big screen or using the picture-in-picture function, i.e. and while watching TV.
4. Manege-transformer
This thing can also temporarily replace the crib, and work the swaddling table, and its arena function is worthy of accomplishing. Such expensive gifts make or from an excess of funds and for a great love for all kinds of things like "all in one", or pose, fulfilling the coveted desire of the parents. Mosquito netting, shutters, blinds, several levels of the bottom - it seems there is nothing that would not be provided for the convenience of the small owner who, due to the lifestyle of his parents, can turn out to be an active traveler from infancy.
If necessary, this house on wheels is collected and folded into a bag. Therefore, it is not advisable to check the operation of the lock-latch located on the bottom and protecting the arena from arbitrary folding.
5. Changing Table
Of course, without consulting with parents, you should not bring them into the house an oak table for swaddling an infant and storing his supplies. If you have decided that this is what the young family lacks, use the more compact options. These include tables that do not have any legs at all, but are a design that can be decomposed on any plane, and then rolled up. These tables can be stored even in the closest house. They are very easy to keep clean and tidy, since they are made of non-toxic lightweight but durable plastic. Note that the special device firmly fixes it on a slippery surface, for example. It is also not superfluous to have a storage compartment for the baby's changeable underwear and a compartment for used diapers. Additional niches can be useful any day on the road or away.
Very easy to change the changing tables with built-in baths. And in the hall and in the bathroom they will find a place. On a constructive principle they resemble a shelf, on the lower shelves (one or several) which you can store both bathing and other accessories of the baby. Such tables are usually equipped with wheels, so carefully check the operation of the mechanism that fixes them in a stationary position.
6. Bags for moms, thermal bags
Young mothers are usually so full of the significance of their role that special things that emphasize the new status, are like an order. A little what accessory is so loved by a woman and is useful to her as a bag. There are special bags for moms, in which the fashionable design is combined with a special "specialization". They are designed for walking with children. Bags for moms can contain a thermowell or a whole thermal partition for storing food bottles, they are equipped with a changing mat, a package for dirty diapers or diapers, or even a whole compartment for the same purposes. The main requirement for such bags is that they are made of a material that is easy to clean. Separate models are equipped with special linings that do not allow liquid, and a special strap that allows you to attach it to the stroller. The function of thermosets or thermal containers is known - as long as possible to keep the food warmed up, or, conversely, chilled.
7. The Night Lamp
Good gift. Especially it will be appreciated, if you previously explore, whether there are in the right places (above the crib or in its surroundings) rosettes, in which the lamp can be attached.
Fixtures for children are lovely, but without tricks. They simply fulfill their task of giving constant soft light during many and many night hours (6000-8000 hours of operation). And they consume at the same time a minimum of energy (power - about 7 watts).
But you can give a "difficult" option. These include lamps that automatically turn on as soon as the baby begins to cry. They are also equipped with a musical function. If you use it, then there is a chance that the awakened baby will be lulled by soft music. You can adjust the intensity of light and program for several periods of work after turning on. During this time, the light will slowly fade. These are the wonders!
8. Storage for diapers
No one seemed to undermine his health, walking with dirty diapers to the trash can and back. But what do you think - for diapers have already invented a special utilizer. This item is called severe and solid: a hygienic store of diapers. Producers are clearly hinting that there is nothing to ride around with a worn out diaper around the apartment, spreading the flavors known for its pleasantness. It is enough to put it in a special container, which can be near the place where the baby is disguised - and the problem of smell will be solved. And the timely removal of the trash can not have to worry.
What is the secret of the magic box? It inserts a cassette with a film of antibacterial material, and - op-la! - You can pack from 30 to 65 dirty diapers, each of which will be attached to a sealed binder. Throw them then you can all at once. The accumulators are probably the most expensive trash cans that we could ever use in a house. Parents will also have to purchase cassettes for them. But if you do not stint, you can donate an option that does not require additional expenses, but will allow using simple garbage bags.
9. Cradle-bassinet
It's no secret that many parents use a stroller as a cradle, placing it parallel to their own bed in the first months after discharge from the maternity home. This is unhygienic, and not as convenient as we would like. Cradle-bassinet - that's what my mom and dad would be happy to get instead of putting street transport into living rooms every day. A cozy cradle will, just like in a wheelchair, take the baby anywhere in the apartment or at home. Several levels of height allow you to vary its position as needed. The cradle can be removed and put in the right place, for example, on the bed. Bortik reclines, and the kid remains in his house, but lies next to his mother, who at any moment can take him to her. In the cradles there is a special night lighting, convenient for changing diapers or feeding at night.
10. Carrying for children
You know that Mom, whom you are going to give to the day of discharge from the hospital, whatever it is, not only does not sit still, but also loves long transitions. And, according to rumors, his tourist activity in connection with the appearance of the baby is not going to stop. And even on the contrary - he plans to teach him to live "in the saddle" from childhood. Nothing can be better for such parents than a special carry-over for children. It's not just a kangaroo backpack. In a good carry, the baby will go like a sultan in a palanquin. For its convenience, and equipped with a soft seat, and an additional pillow-headrest, and support under the chin, and a cape - from the sun and rain. The backrest is adjustable in height, ventilated straps conveniently and safely support the child. A metal stand allows you to lower the backpack to the ground without disturbing the rider. At rest, the backpack carrying can be expanded, turning it into a mat. Moreover, many models are equipped with a replaceable mattress. And pockets on the belt and side pockets will accommodate the most necessary things of the traveler. Carries are designed for children under 20 kg.
You probably sigh: they say, it is not cheap for all, alone and not to pull. But even more so, think that a young family may not get money for "excesses". Why not combine the efforts of several relatives (friends) and not present the "luxury" that will soon become a necessity. And then young parents will always remember you with a kind word, feeling direct participation in their daily worries.
