How to have the perfect birth kit?
To have the perfect birth kit , it is necessary not to rush. We advise you to start your shopping after the third trimester ultrasound . At this time, you will have a small idea of the approximate size and weight of your baby, so you can start shopping! You can opt for ready-made birth kits , or create it yourself , according to your desires and tastes. As for the contents of the birth kit , it must first be composed of the essentials expressed above. Then, you must take into account important factors such as the season , for example. If you give birth in summer, there is no point in taking woolen clothes or a sleeping bag with a TOG that is too high, and vice versa. Then, think practical . The goal is not to clutter yourself up. You must therefore take the number of accessories according to the size of your bag: no need to be loaded down like a mule at the maternity ward , we go for the essentials ! Also, take clothes that fit your baby. Of course, he or she is not yet born and you do not know his or her exact size when preparing your birth kit, but you still have an idea. We advise you to opt for newborn or 1-month-old clothes : here, the 6-month-old bodysuit will not be of much use. Also think about safety ! Check that everything you take in the birth kit is safe for babies and that there is no risk of accidents with cords or wires, for example. Little extra: favor made in France , it's always better!
