Choosing the newborn kit according to the season
You've just met your midwife or your gynecologist, and they've announced your expected due date: you're having a summer baby! You can't wait and you're already picturing yourself cradling your little wonder in your arms! But you're wondering which newborn kit to choose if the forecast calls for a heatwave or not? It may seem simpler to plan newborn clothing when the birth is expected in winter. Yet this is only an illusion, because even if your baby is born in summer, you need to choose warm clothing. Your baby will have just left your womb and will need a lot of warmth to help regulate their body temperature. This is why all maternity wards ask you to bring a knit cardigan, a hat for your baby's first hours
Make the most of these first months to incorporate skin-to-skin contact into your routines! This widely practised method around the world is recommended from the very first minutes of your little one's life. It offers many benefits for the child as well as for the parents.
When should you pack your maternity bag?
Heading to the maternity ward is always an exciting and long-awaited moment, but it can also be stressful. That's why we recommend packing your baby's bag and your maternity bag in advance, around your 8th month of pregnancy. For larger families, this step has become a formality, but when it's your first child, the preparation remains thorough and unfamiliar.
