Long months of waiting were behind us, the little man was born, and it was time to take him and his mother home. Young mothers are really looking forward to this moment - discharge from the hospital. During the few days spent in the ward, they manage to miss the comfort of home, which is why the trip home is so long-awaited for them.
By the time of discharge, the nursery is usually completely ready, so dad and grandparents only have to worry about how to decorate the room for discharge from the hospital in order to give mom a pleasant surprise.
We’ll talk about options for decorating a room for discharge in this article. Let's look at each of them in more detail.
Furniture in a newborn's room
No matter how beautifully the room is decorated for check-out, the furniture plays the main role in the room.
It should be comfortable and safe for the child. The most important item in a newborn's room is the crib. It should be comfortable and stable. For the bed, you should choose a moderately elastic mattress. Manufacturers of children's furniture came up with an interesting idea that many parents loved - a transforming crib. With the help of simple manipulations, the rocking bed can be turned into a playpen on wheels, the length of the bed can be adjusted, and the fence can be removed.
In addition to the bed, the baby’s room should have a chest of drawers with cabinets for storing children’s things and a container for storing toys and rattles. Many mothers advise purchasing a changing table for the nursery.
There should be no sharp corners, unstable objects or small parts in the room for a newborn. All shelves and drawers must be securely fastened, and it is better to install special fuses on windows and doors to protect the child when he grows up a little and begins to move around the room independently.
Gift for a woman in labor upon discharge from the hospital
The first thing you should give to your friend is, of course, a bouquet.
Which bouquet is best to choose? One that will meet the following requirements: * will not smell strongly; * will not have artificially colored colors; * will not be too big; * bouquet with natural, not very rustling and hand-staining packaging.
A bouquet of flowers for discharge from the maternity hospital is not the limit of what can be given to a young mother.
Envelope or certificate?
You can give money to your beloved friend in an envelope, because at first the money will be spent faster than earned.
This win-win gift option will be a good help for a family on a limited budget.
An equally successful gift would be a certificate for the purchase of goods in a children's store.
Young parents will be able to exchange such a gift for things necessary for the baby: a car seat, a crib, a stroller, toys or necessary clothing and hygiene items.
What to give a newborn boy and mother upon discharge from the hospital?
Your friend, who now bears the proud title of mother, will undoubtedly be delighted with the new set of clothes
Babies don’t have many outfits, but nevertheless it is very important to have a change - this way the dirty clothes can dry, and at that time it will be possible to wear another set. The main thing is to guess the size
It is better to take clothes for growth, because as a rule, children do not stay in their small size for long. Also, T-shirts and suits should be made from natural fabrics using hypoallergenic additives.
Bedding will also be a good gift for being discharged from the hospital: a blanket, a beautiful canopy, wrinkle-resistant linen.
When choosing what else you can give, consider hanging toys attached to the sides of the crib.
For a boy, carousels with cars and all kinds of little animals will be relevant. Other useful gifts for a boy will be:
Radio nanny (perfect for housewives who need to do everything around the house and keep an eye on the child); Night light for the nursery; Height meter; Baby scales (in the first months of life it is very important to monitor the baby’s weight gain); Developmental mat; Hygiene products (baby shampoos, butt powders); Set of pacifiers, bottles and thermos for baby food.
As you understand, your friend’s gift upon discharge from the maternity hospital should contain a gift for the baby and for the mother.
It will be better for mom if she is given equipment that makes life easier: a steamer, a blender, a washing machine.
What to give to a newborn girl and her mother upon discharge from the hospital?
Congratulating a friend on her discharge from the maternity hospital also means donating a toy that the baby will need from the first days of life.
This could be a rattle, a baby development mat, or a crib pendant.
A very necessary gift would be clothes for a girl. You can order online or buy a beautiful set in a children's store, as well as a bodysuit and overalls for the winter.
The baby's first dress will be a successful and pleasant gift. But calculate the size correctly, because the baby will be able to go out into the world wearing it only after six months from the date of birth, because before that children spend all their time in the crib.
If this is your close friend or even your sister, then you can give a silver spoon. Better yet, a beautiful engraved pendant. The main thing is to calculate the gift according to your budget. Or you can give a high-quality set of combs and hair brushes, which are very useful for massaging the baby’s head.
If you are going to give an expensive gift, like a washing machine or a stroller, then consult with your family - perhaps they have decided to give the same thing.
It is not necessary to spend huge sums on a gift, the main thing is that the gift is presented with all your heart.
Believe me, young parents will appreciate a gift, even if not very expensive, but chosen and given with love, rather than a hastily bought expensive gift.

Bedding decoration
Decorating the frame is a good idea, but putting fancy, hand-decorated bedding inside it is even better. It will be original and will attract the child's attention.
Patchwork
The word “patchwork” sounds incomprehensible and strange because it comes from English. But the technique behind it is probably well known to you. This is patchwork.
Patchwork can be bought in a store, or you can sew it yourself
The following can be sewn from scraps:
- Blanket. It will be warm and look good. In addition, you can sew patches with different textures so that the child develops fine motor skills.
- Pillowcase. The fabric should be soft and delicate.
- Cover. They can be used to fill the crib when the child is out for a walk.
An interesting solution for patchwork is to sew into a blanket scraps from things that played an important role in the child’s life (for example, fabric from the first blanket, suit, stroller cover, favorite torn toy, etc.). The older the child, the more his blanket and memories will be.

Embroidery
Decorating with embroidery looks good and at the same time shows that you know how to work with your hands. You can choose any picture (depending on your strength) and spend several evenings in a pleasant, peaceful process.
Embroidery can be machine or hand - the first will free up your time, the second will allow you to make the design unique
It is best to engage in the creative process on the outside of the blanket, since the sheet, the pillow, and the inside of the bedspread are in too close contact with the skin (the baby may become irritated).
Application
If you don’t know how to embroider, then you can limit yourself to appliqué. It is either sewn or glued. In the first case, it is stronger and looks better, in the second, it holds worse, but requires only 5 minutes to attach. The image should be made without rhinestones and on the outside of the blanket.

spring-cleaning
A newly born baby has very low immunity. This means that the apartment to which he will be brought from the maternity hospital must first be cleaned with a special degree of care.
To achieve an ideal result, you should follow these simple recommendations:
- the cleaning process should cover the entire apartment, and not just the children's room;
- dust should be eliminated even from the most inaccessible places, including top shelves and cabinets;
- remove all dust-collecting trinkets;
- It is recommended to wash the toilet and sink with particular care, since a particularly large number of pathogenic bacteria and microbes accumulate in these places;
- Carpets must not only be vacuumed, but also beaten and treated with special compounds to get rid of dust mites.
Important! When doing general cleaning in the apartment into which the baby will soon be brought, you should under no circumstances use ordinary household chemicals. The substances included in its composition can be dangerous for a newborn baby.
It is better to use folk remedies or hypoallergenic professional chemicals.
How to Decorate a Family Room
Often parents place a crib in their bedroom or in the room where the older child lives. In this case, every detail of the decor needs to be carefully thought out so as not to clutter the space and at the same time create a special atmosphere in the room.
A simple and at the same time effective option is to hang new curtains. Light, with bright flowers and bouquets, they will miraculously transform the room. Again, exploit the “passive” space under the ceiling and walls. To do this, you can use balloons filled with helium, ribbons and streamers.
In a children's room where several children live, instead of balloons, you can hang bright posters and flower garlands, stick stickers, put flowers in flowerpots and large voluminous cards. More creativity! A garland of multi-colored pacifiers, tiny baby socks and a cake made of diapers is no worse than banal balloons!
Who do we invite and what do we take with us to the meeting?
Everyone who is happy to see happiness goes to the maternity hospital: dad and brother/sister, if the baby born is not the first child in the family, grandparents, friends. Such a crowd may be discouraging, but I assure you that mommy will be pleased to see everyone, and the unforgettableness of this event will become brighter. In addition, then everyone shouldn’t go to the young family’s home or visit them for the first week, saying, “What’s the baby like and who does he look like?”
To entertain the company, you can invite mimes or animators, comic reporters or fairy-tale characters. For guests there are competitions and pastime, for mom and dad an opportunity to relax and not be distracted by the hustle and bustle.
Worry about external attributes too. Welcome like royalty! A red carpet with rose petals, an arch or a living corridor with flowers, balloons, joyful faces and congratulations.
You can involve dancers, singers (bears, gypsies), and arrange a flash mob in honor of mother and baby.

They also take flowers, champagne and other types of gratitude to the maternity hospital. the staff who helped the mother, both during childbirth and the first days after.
Cake
The ideas for making modern cakes are very different from what they were thought of 10-20 years ago. Nowadays, a cake is not just cakes soaked in cream and decorated with roses. Masters make masterpieces that are dedicated specifically to a specific celebration.
Sweet masterpieces
An important nuance that needs to be taken into account is that making a cake takes a lot of time, usually at least three days, so you need to take care of this in advance. A good idea is to decorate the cake with fondant figures of the appropriate theme. This could be a baby in a stroller, baby supplies and other decorations.
Mastic cake corresponding to the theme
Cakes with photographs are also popular. You can add the baby’s mother, where she is in her final stages, and baby paraphernalia nearby. You can complement the decor with the help of holiday candles.
The best moments in family life
A special option is to use a cake in cases where the light is supposed to be turned off. In such an atmosphere, a birthday cake with candles will look especially appropriate.
A good idea is a biography cake, which indicates information about the born baby: first name, middle name, last name, height, weight, parents’ names and other interesting information. Of course, the child himself will not remember such a cake, but they will admire it years later, looking at the photo.

Wood decor
Such decorations will last not only on the day of the holiday, they will decorate the nursery for many years to come. Wooden decor is made to order, so it’s worth finding a craftsman in advance who makes crafts from wood. What exactly can be made from wood for a children's room? Usually they order the baby's name from wooden letters. But you can supplement the name with the date of birth, weight and height of the baby, then you get a kind of metric. Or order a universal option - a photo frame with the name, date, height and weight. Such a photo frame will decorate the nursery and remind you of the joyful day for many years to come.
What documents are issued upon discharge from the maternity hospital and why are they needed?
Happy parents take away two documents from the maternity hospital. The first of them is the remaining part of the exchange card, its second and third sheets. The second sheet is filled out by the doctor who delivered the child. This document contains information about the course of labor and all medicinal actions of the doctor. The document applies to the antenatal clinic. The third sheet is filled out by a pediatrician-neonatologist and contains information about the baby’s health, his height, weight, and the course of labor. This part of the exchange card is transferred to the children's clinic where the baby will be observed. The third sheet of the exchange card is filed with the child’s medical record.
The third sheet of the exchange card is filed with the child’s medical record in the children’s clinic
The second document is a certificate written by the obstetrician who delivered the child, certified by his signature and the seal of the maternity hospital. It indicates the name of the doctor who delivered the baby, the date and time the baby was born, and his gender. With this certificate, you will go to the registry office, receive a birth certificate for the baby, after which you can apply for child benefits at the social security office.
What should you give to medical staff upon discharge?
With the birth of a child, family expenses increase significantly, so gratitude to the medical workers who helped the baby be born will depend on financial capabilities.
Midwife
The addition of a small family member is an important moment for every parent.
The midwife monitors the birth process.
She assists the woman in labor and subsequently monitors her health and hygiene.
Gift sets for gratitude:
- cake and a bottle of wine;
- a box of chocolates and a pack of tea;
- a set consisting of coffee and sweets;
- a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates;
- cup and saucer set;
- fruit and a bottle of champagne.
If an idea doesn’t come to mind, and all the options seem unsuitable for such a case, then you can give money in a beautiful envelope.
To the doctor
The doctor is responsible for everything, both for the birth itself and for the health and life of the baby and the woman in labor. Therefore, thanking your doctor is the natural desire of every parent.
Popular options:
- Alcohol. This probably won’t surprise any medical professional, but a good bottle of wine or champagne will come in handy. For a man, you can choose cognac, whiskey, rum.
- Coffee. To make the gift look advantageous, it is better to buy a gift set in a beautiful jar.
- A tea set. Mainly consists of tea, cup and saucer. It looks very original.
- Fruit basket. Bright, beautiful and modern.
- Cake. A similar sweet can be bought in a store, or you can also order a cake with the inscription you need. For example: “Thank you to Anna Pavlovna for our baby.”
- Food. This could be a jar of caviar and a stick of dry sausage.
- Cosmetics. If the doctor is a woman, a cosmetics set would be a good option.
- Flowers. A beautifully decorated bouquet of flowers will not leave either a woman or a man indifferent.
- Textile. For example, a set of terry towels, napkins, bed linen and even a tablecloth. Such a useful gift will always come in handy around the house or at work.
- Money. Since the salaries of our doctors are low, monetary gratitude will not be superfluous.
For those whose budget allows them to thank the doctor more generously, the list expands significantly. Most often, parents who can afford an expensive gift buy equipment.
For nurses
A nurse cares for a young mother and her newborn throughout her hospital stay. Therefore, gratitude is also indispensable.
What can you give to a nurse:
- bouquet of flowers;
- cake;
- box of candies;
- wine or champagne;
- fruits;
- a set of shower accessories;
- set of coffee or tea.
For the latter case, you can give an envelope with money that will never be superfluous.
Why is it important
Discharge from the hospital is always an important event
The new father usually takes a special part in the event, often enlisting the support of his parents, mother-in-law or other loved ones. In large cities, and even in many villages, numerous agencies offer their services for decorating a room and organizing a family holiday.
Decor for creating a holiday
All you need to do is just pay them and all organizational issues fall on their shoulders. However, it is best to prepare for the meeting of the newborn yourself. After all, first of all, this is a holiday for the baby himself and his mother. Who, if not close relatives, knows what style and features of the event will be most suitable?
Choose a jewelry style to suit your child's gender
At first glance, the idea of decorating a room for the birth of a child may seem complicated. In fact, by spending a minimum of money and showing perseverance and creativity, you can create an unforgettable atmosphere with your own hands.

Let's go shopping for decorations
Before you go shopping, it's worth thinking about your overall plan and making a list of everything you need. If you don’t have an idea, you can simply go to a toy, gift or stationery store and pick up decorations on the spot. But in this case, you might forget something, and then you’ll have to go to the store more than once.
Therefore, it is better to act according to plan:
- first consider ideas, choose what you like;
- adapt it to the characteristics of the home, capabilities, and gender of the child;
- write down everything you need to buy.
And only after that feel free to go shopping.
Decorating a 1 year old baby's room
Perhaps the most important and responsible day for parents is the baby’s first birthday. Most often, the one-year anniversary is celebrated in the form of a home feast, so family and friends will definitely come to visit with gifts.
In the process of decorating a children's room and apartment, you should adhere to the following rules to make the holiday fun and safe:
- the electric garland is attached high enough so that children and animals cannot reach it;
- It is best to buy decorations in large sizes, so that guests can already notice from the door how elegant and unusual the room looks;
- balls, paper decorations and other decor are selected from high-quality materials;
- You can make most of the decorations yourself, and use the remaining money to buy treats for the table.
The first anniversary will definitely be a success if you approach the decorating process with soul.
Pom-pom balls
A safe and at the same time beautiful decoration option would be pom-pom balls, which can be attached to the ceiling of the nursery. It is best to choose them in bright colors that match the colors of the holiday. Balls are easy to buy in a store or make yourself from fabric, corrugated paper and ribbons. The main advantage of paper decorations is that they look as beautiful and airy as possible. Guests and small children will feel as if the balls are floating above the room.
Paper roses
For your baby's first anniversary, you can buy paper roses. Paper flowers are a beautiful and safe decoration option for small children. Making roses yourself is not difficult if you stock up on corrugated paper and wire. The decoration can beautifully hang from the ceiling or become an organic addition to the holiday table. With the help of large roses, you can decorate the baby’s throne, on which he will sit with his parents.
Volumetric figure made of cardboard and corrugated paper
A home holiday would not be complete without the main attribute of the first birthday – the number 1. You can make the decoration yourself or buy it in a store with holiday decor. It is the one-piece that will stand at the head of the entire exhibition and will become an excellent backdrop for photo sessions. You can make decor using cardboard, ribbons, paper flowers or corrugated paper.
The photo confirms that a corrugated paper figure is an ideal decoration option for a photo shoot.
Fairy lights
It will not be difficult to create a festive atmosphere for the holiday using decor in the form of garlands. With their help you can decorate the ceiling, walls, curtains and arches. Products must be selected in one color or choose multi-colored options, where each detail will be made in a different shade.
It’s very easy to decorate your room yourself using garlands of tassels. A narrow strip is cut out of corrugated paper, which should be twice the size of the brush. Simply fold it in half and cut it to form a fringe. Each tassel is attached to a common thread.
Swing umbrellas
A children's party would not be complete without this seemingly simple, but very unusual decoration. Umbrellas can be hung on the wall, creating an unusual composition for photo shoots. It’s not difficult to make this original decoration yourself; each umbrella is most often made in a different color. Before making it, you should prepare scrapbooking paper, a glue gun, a stapler and napkins.
Step-by-step process for creating a pinwheel umbrella:
- The sheets are folded like a fan.
- The paper is folded in half, and its edges are fastened with a stapler.
- Three fans are alternately connected using a stapler.
Such a budget decoration will look no worse than others at a holiday.
3D stars
3D figures will beautifully complement your child's first significant event. With the help of voluminous stars you can decorate a wall and create an unusual photo zone. They can beautifully fall from the ceiling and delight kids with their large size.
You can make your own stars from colored cardboard or paper. To make the decoration you will need glue, scissors and a pencil.
Balloons
A small child will be delighted when he sees a large number of balloons at his party. Kids love to play with inflatable decorations. In this case, you won’t be able to decorate the room for a child’s 1st birthday with your own hands. It is best to order ready-made balloon arches from the store or decorate the ceiling with helium products. The inflatable number 1 will look original.
Sweet table
It can also become a decoration if you approach its design creatively. Sweets can be decorated with mastic or cream to match other decorative items, decorated with themed figures, set the table with a tablecloth and napkins in soft colors, and then standard cupcakes and cakes will become not just a treat, but will complement the overall festive picture.
Photo and video
To remember this solemn day after many years, do not be lazy to organize its photo and video recording. The ideal option is to use the services of a professional who knows how to shoot and will make sure that your photos turn out beautiful. Look for someone who has experience in this type of shooting. After all, if this is not the first meeting from the maternity hospital photographed by the photographer, he probably has ideas for original photography.
If you decide to entrust this mission to one of your relatives, choose a person who is at least a little familiar with technology and understands how to handle it. Make sure the batteries in your camera and video camera are charged in advance. But if for some reason you cannot film the discharge process, the maternity hospital employs photographers and operators whose services you can use at any time. In any case, the memory of this day should remain in order to one day show your grown-up child how glad you were for his birth and how you celebrated this event. Children love to look at such photographs.
Is it worth doing a photo shoot?
How the baby behaves before birth - the baby’s activity
This is what you should pay special attention to - organizing a photo shoot for discharge from the maternity hospital. The birth of a child is a very significant event, it is simply necessary to capture it.
You can take photographs yourself; the necessary equipment is available in almost every family. If you order a professional photographer, the result of his work will be of higher quality. The most important thing is to carefully study his portfolio before choosing a specific specialist, because each person has his own idea of beauty.
On what day are they discharged from the maternity hospital, what does it depend on?
If there is a natural delivery and there are no health problems, the young mother and baby are discharged on the fourth or fifth day after birth (each maternity hospital has its own rules). A woman can be detained in a maternity hospital for the following reasons:
- increased body temperature;
- problems with the healing of vaginal and internal sutures (if any);
- complications after childbirth;
- health problems with the baby (due to which the woman may be transferred to the children's department).
After a caesarean section, the young mother will be home a little later - on the seventh to ninth day after the operation. It all depends on the following indicators:
- the course of the woman’s postoperative period;
- condition of the seams.
While the woman is in the maternity hospital, two specialists monitor the condition of her and the baby - an obstetrician-gynecologist and a pediatrician (neonatologist). The first specialist makes sure that everything is fine with mommy, and the pediatrician examines the baby and notes his daily weight gain. These two doctors jointly decide whether to discharge the woman.
After childbirth, every woman in labor is required to undergo a pelvic ultrasound. It is necessary to exclude the presence of placental remains and to track the discharge of lochia (red postpartum discharge). If the discharge comes out well, then the uterus contracts as needed. This means that you will not be detained in the maternity hospital. If problems arise with uterine contractions, the doctor prescribes an additional set of contracting injections; in some cases, washing the cavity is recommended.
If problems with uterine contractions occur, the doctor prescribes an additional set of contraction injections
There are two maternity hospitals in my city, and I managed to visit both. In the first case, they are discharged on the third day - if there are no complications, of course. In another, they may be detained, but in general discharge is planned on the fifth day. They talk about it directly on the day of discharge, since it is not known how the woman will feel at the last examination. Usually the doctor's rounds take place at 12–13 o'clock, after which the woman can call her relatives and inform her that it is time for her to go home. On weekends, mothers are not discharged from any maternity hospital: they try to do this in advance (on Friday) - this was the case in my case, which everyone was especially happy about. Of course, not everyone is so lucky: many women stay for the weekend.

Near the maternity hospital
The first thing a young father thinks about is how beautifully to greet his wife from the maternity hospital. He is overwhelmed with feelings of joy, happiness and pride, and wants to share them with everyone around him. In order to realize all your fantasies, you may need the help of friends or relatives. If you are planning something large-scale, then for help you can contact a company specializing in organizing holidays.
Air balloons
Balloons are now considered almost obligatory attributes of any holiday. They are associated with joy, fun, happiness. There are a lot of ideas on how to use them when meeting a young mother and baby, for example:
- Give everyone present a balloon and release them into the sky at the moment the woman in labor emerges.
- Collect a cloud of balloons of the appropriate color: pink if the birth is a girl, blue if it is a boy. This cloud can be given as a gift instead of a bouquet.
- Many balls collected together in a special net. They can be released into the sky by pulling a string.
Posters
If desired, you can prepare thematic posters. They will be especially useful if many acquaintances and friends come to the meeting. All of them will not be able to approach the mother and baby, so you can convey your wishes with the help of posters. On whatman paper in A1 format you can write short wishes or draw something cute and tender, such as Teddy bears with hearts or a stork carrying a baby. Ready-made posters are also sold, which you can purchase if you cannot draw them yourself.
Decoration of the street and entrance
Why does a child have a stuffy nose at night and does the baby have trouble breathing?
Many new dads are so excited about the arrival of a child that they are ready to announce it to the whole world. They not only solemnly arrange such an event as discharge from the maternity hospital, but also decorate the yard and entrance to the house, sharing their delight with others. A variety of decorative elements are used for decoration: arches made of balloons, flowers, phrases like “Thank you for your son” made of plastic letters, and much more.
Important! Most often, the color that each balloon has is chosen depending on the gender of the newborn. If a girl is born, the decoration is done in pink, if a boy - in blue.
If the house does not have an elevator, the entrance can be decorated with minimal financial costs by tying helium balloons along the railing. After the ceremonial arrival of the mother and child takes place, they can be brought into the house or distributed to friends for launch into the sky.
TOP 22 gifts for medical staff upon discharge from the maternity hospital
It is so common among people that with the birth of a baby, the relatives and parents of the baby strive to thank the doctor and midwife who helped and participated in the birth of the baby. Some doubt and do not know what to present to the medical staff. We offer the following gift ideas that can be given to medical staff:
- Champagne, a box of chocolates or cake are a standard thanksgiving gesture.
- A beautiful envelope with money. This is a standard gift option, but believe me: the doctor and midwife will be happy with it, because the salaries of medical staff are low.
- Gift certificates. If it is inconvenient to give money, then you can give the doctor and midwives certificates for the purchase of things, products, etc. The doctor should be given a certificate for a larger amount, and the nurses - for a smaller amount.
- A set of coffee or tea is what they always drink in the hospital during their lunch break.
- A bouquet for everyone who participated in the process of the birth of a child: for a midwife, a doctor.

It is better to give champagne or wine to women, and cognac or whiskey to men. An aroma lamp with a set of essential oils - so that the doctor’s office always has a pleasant aroma that creates an atmosphere of calm and tranquility. A painting for an office, a panel, will decorate the boring and austere interior of a hospital. Diary - any doctor uses it, so such a gift will not be useless.

How to arrange a celebration on the threshold of a maternity hospital
The traditional way of meeting a young mother and a newborn is to present bouquets and convey “gratitude” to the medical staff in the form of sweets and champagne. Next is a photo at the front door with a sign for the maternity hospital where a new family member was born, and a trip home to the applause of those present. This scenario, worked out over years and generations, may have variations, but only minor ones if you do not prepare for the day of discharge in advance. If you approach this event responsibly, come up with interesting surprises, and involve relatives and friends in the implementation of your plans, you will get a real holiday.
Transport is an essential component that will ensure a comfortable journey home. If you have a personal car - good, no - you can ask friends or order a taxi in advance. To make your car look festive, you should decorate it:

- fresh flowers;
- balls;
- special stickers. They are easily attached to vehicles without leaving marks. These can be themed pictures with a stork, a baby, etc. or inscriptions: “I’m on my way to pick up my son/daughter”, “Here comes dad’s pride and mom’s joy”, “Darling, thank you for the heir/heiress”, etc.
Waiting for a meeting is always exciting, but if you invite friends to the discharge, you will be able to not only pass the time, but also organize an unusual meeting between your wife and child. For example, prepare posters with the inscriptions “Beloved wife!”, “Thank you”, “For the fact that I am now a dad”, “I will always love you”, etc. Give them to all your assistants. Line up under the windows of the room where your spouse is, turn on soft music. Let all participants take turns, keeping a short interval, to raise the posters from which they will form a love message.
You can arrange a dance flash mob under the windows of the maternity hospital. To do this, practice 3-4 simple movements with all participants in the future action. On the day of discharge, have each of them hold a bouquet of flowers, a bunch of balloons or a pack of diapers. As soon as the young mother appears on the threshold, turn on the music and perform your simple dance, trying to do it in sync. Then turn your backs, lining up in a single row. Each flash mob participant should have a piece of paper attached to their back with words that will form a single phrase, for example: “Darling, thank you for your son/daughter!”

Decorating a room for discharge from the maternity hospital
Most likely, your baby has his own room, that is, a nursery. And if not, then there will always be a quiet corner for his crib in the apartment. In any case, decorating the room for discharge when he first gets to his native place is a very important part! Of course, here it is worth using all the decorations that were listed above: funny balls under the ceiling, homemade or purchased garlands in doorways and on the window, paper pompoms of the appropriate color. But there are also a few special things that can be done in your child’s room or in his corner!
An interesting find will be homemade angel figurines. Cut them out of thick colored cardboard, or print out a picture you like and stick it on both sides: such cute figures will look great if you hang them above a crib instead of a module! This will show parental care and create a very cozy atmosphere in the room.
You can also place stickers in the shape of stars on the ceiling: there are special stickers that glow slightly in the dark and are very easy to remove if the need arises. Just think how nice it will be for a mother to put her baby to sleep under such an impromptu night sky!
Another interesting idea is posters with pictures hanging next to the crib. You can write greetings for the baby on them or depict him and his family. You can also hang photographs of your parents, including their children’s photographs, arranged in the form of an original collage. This will give relatives an excellent opportunity to compare who the newborn is more like!
Don’t forget also about the “dowry” for the child: a bedding set with a pillow and a blanket, a mattress, various vests, caps, overalls and diapers. All this should await the baby in the crib or next to it; in addition, you can buy a couple of toys for him or sew them yourself as a welcome gift
Remember - everything should be made from natural materials so as not to cause allergies, this is very important for babies!
Bouquet
Preparing a bouquet is definitely a “male” job. Of course, all invited guests, if there are any, will come with flowers, but the task of the young dad is to surpass everyone else with a bouquet prepared in advance. Naturally, decorating a room at the birth of a child with a bouquet is intended more for the mother, however, the needs of the baby must also be taken into account.
A bouquet that will exceed all expectations
Fresh flowers for decoration are not always a good idea. A weakened child's body may not perceive the smell of flowers and even cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, if you give fresh flowers, you need to immediately prepare a place with a vase in another room, where they can then be rearranged.
Find a place for a bouquet with a vase
There are many options for decorating a room with bouquets that would not harm the baby, but at the same time would look aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. If previously bouquets of artificial flowers were considered exclusively for mourning, modern decor ideas make it possible to adapt them even to such an event as the birth of a child.
Original toy made from fresh flowers
To make flowers, corrugated paper of different, bright shades can be used. They can be placed either in ordinary bouquets wrapped in paper or in a basket. A fashionable idea is also to give a bouquet of soft toys. The undoubted advantage of such room decoration is originality and practicality.
Choose a bouquet without harming the child
The bouquet will remain in its original form for several months, and then it will gradually be disassembled into “spare parts”, and the growing child will have ready-made toys. Such practicality of bouquets of soft toys justifies their high cost.
You can prepare several bouquets and fill a whole children's table with them. There may be fresh flowers, which will then be transferred to another room, or a bouquet of soft toys, which will last for a long time.
Even guests will not be left without attention
You can also complement the room decor with bouquets of sweets that will please your guests. Considering that the baby’s mother can hardly eat sweets, you can prepare another option for her - a bouquet of fruits.
