The envelope is essentially the first clothing of a newborn baby. In it, the baby is taken from the maternity hospital and taken for its first walks. By wrapping the body like a cocoon, the envelope creates coziness similar to that of the baby when he was still in his mother’s tummy.
Despite the fact that there are ready-made envelopes for newborns on sale, more and more mothers are deciding to sew this product with their own hands, and they have reasons for this. Thanks to patterns and step-by-step master classes, even a woman who has never sewed before will be able to create a discharge, summer and winter envelope.

It is necessary to start with the fact that for a baby born in late spring or summer, an envelope is not always a necessary thing. After all, during a walk he will be covered with a maximum of a thin calico or cotton diaper.
But!
And in the summer there may be a few bad weather days. During these times, the baby will feel more comfortable if he is wrapped in a cozy envelope.

How to choose an envelope for your baby to send out?
In order to choose an envelope for a newborn for discharge, it is worth knowing what basic criteria to pay attention to:
- Appearance.
- Season.
- Desired type of product.
- Functionality.
Baby envelope design.
First of all, when choosing an envelope for the baby, the mother should take into account the time of year in which he will be born.
- Winter means cold and harsh conditions. The baby should be quite comfortable. That is why it is not recommended to buy clothes for growth at this age. The envelope should fit correctly, then the newborn will be comfortable and warm in such conditions.
- Summer depends on the region in which the young couple lives. The ideal option would be to use a synthetic blanket with detachable elements. This means that when it gets colder, you'll strap on extra insulation. And in hot weather, leave the child only in light cotton fabric.
- Autumn is an option that will be a little warmer than winter, but it should keep the baby as warm as possible. As a rule, in the fall there is a greater chance of getting sick due to deceptive and changeable weather. When choosing an autumn envelope, pay attention to the clasp and protection from wind and rain. It is necessary to choose a water-repellent and waterproof fabric that can protect your child from strong winds.
- Spring – in terms of warmth, these envelopes can be called average. Even though the sun is shining in spring, you still need to wear clothes with a thick lining. Choose natural materials as a sealant. It is worth choosing an envelope option that will keep your baby neither too cold nor too hot.
A blanket would be an ideal option for winter. It is in it that the child will feel comfortable, since his movements are constrained, and he feels safe (as if in his mother’s belly).
If you wish, you can give preference to two envelopes at once. In the first case, it will be a standard overalls, and in the second, a voluminous envelope-bag, which will be used only in extreme frosty conditions.
