What to give a grandson or granddaughter for baptism from grandparents

The baptism of a child is a very important event in the family. All the most important relatives, friends and godparents gather for this holiday. Many grandparents are also preparing for the event. They usually agree to spend their entire pension on presents for their beloved newborn grandson or granddaughter. But what would you like to cook that would be inexpensive, pleasant and very necessary?

Usually, the parents themselves order various options, because long before birth they were preparing for the appearance of the baby, they bought tons of diapers, toys, things and various wonders of modern technology. But what if the order was not received, and the parents are modestly silent in the corner, showing no signs of life. So, today we will figure out what it is desirable to give for baptism to a child from grandparents.

Necessary things that can be presented to a grandson for baptism from grandparents

An excellent gift will be stroller... Moreover, it must be selected very carefully. Here are some tips from painstaking mothers.

1. If you are going to walk with your baby not only on perfectly flat asphalt, then large wheels are needed for the stroller. For the city, inflatable wheels with an inner chamber are suitable. In the city, there are usually few various thorns, so there will be no problems with punctures. But if you are going for a walk in the countryside, where a huge number of thorns grow, then it is better to take solid plastic wheels that are not afraid of various thorny plants and glass.
2. Nice strollerusually enough Heavy... Such a means of transportation is usually suitable if your house has a good large elevator and there will be no questions about the descent. But if you live on the 5th floor of a five-story building, then it is better to take a lighter stroller so that a woman can safely pull it off after childbirth or surgery.
3. It would be nice to choose the model that equipped with high quality brakes and shock absorbers... These things are needed if you live in latitudes where there is a lot of snow. The shock absorbers soften the movement, and the baby does not wake up during the walk.
4. If you travel a lot and move around, then buy not one, but two strollers. The second should folds quickly and fits easily into the car... Today, strollers in the form of a cane have been invented, they are more massive and heavy, but they have an excellent reliable design. There are also book strollers. Such means of transportation for babies are less hopeful, but they are easy to drag into a car, an airplane or carry them along an escalator.
5. A stroller must have reclining backrest and footrest... The backrest will make it easy to lay the child down if he fell asleep while walking. So the back will be in the correct position, and there will be no load on the spine and pelvis of the baby. And the footrest will allow you not to lose shoes, which miraculously flies off a small foot when the baby swings his legs in different directions.
6. You can also buy for a stroller rain cover, which will definitely come in handy and a mosquito net from insects. This thing will save well in summer, when not only midges, but also the bright sun will interfere with your child's sleep. In addition, you can choose a leg cover for the winter, or buy a pouch to keep the stroller cold. After all, paving a bunch of blankets so that a child does not freeze is very difficult. And when a nice warm bag is fastened to the stroller, then you do not have to carol with blankets, and you will know that the baby is always warm.

A stroller is one of the best gifts for a baby, as it provides both the comfort of a baby and a mother during walks and rest.

A good baptismal gift from your grandmother can be baby cot... Moreover, the variety of modern sleeping places today is such that the eyes run up. Conventionally, baby cots can be divided into four types:

• classical;
• transformers;
• arenas;
• cradle.

The most common type of low-cost baby cribs are classical... Most often they are wooden, with standard dimensions: length - 120 or 140 cm, width - from 60 to 70 cm. In such models, children sleep from birth to 3 years. The assortment is quite diverse. Depending on the design and the possibility of motion sickness, more subspecies are distinguished:

• cots on legs;
• on runners;
• pendulum beds (rocking chairs).

It's hard to say which of the subspecies is better it all depends on the preferences of moms, and also on whether the child needs motion sickness or whether he can fall asleep on his own. If you have not decided yet, it is better to buy furniture with a pendulum, since it has the ability to block the pendulum mechanism.

The type, design and dimensions of the crib or stroller must be agreed with the parents in order to understand what mom and dad want.

Runners cannot be blocked, because the curved arc will remain so. But at the same time, you can purchase a crib with runners and removable wheels, so that when they are blocked, they have a stationary state without motion sickness.
Many classic cribs equipped with drawers, in which it is convenient to store diapers, diapers, baby clothes, and later the child can put his toys in them himself. The cost of a crib with drawers is slightly higher, but this is a good option to save space and money for a separate chest of drawers.

Convertible beds - this is the most popular type of furniture among parents who, when choosing a crib, are looking for the most functional option. They have no equal in terms of convenience, compactness and durability. There are many subspecies of transformers, but all models can be conditionally divided into two types:

• small cots for babies, which, with the help of additional elements, increase to the required size for children 2-3 years old;
• a set of a chest of drawers and a bed for a child up to 3 years old, which easily turns into an ordinary teenage bed and a free-standing chest of drawers.

The latter type is represented by a wide variety of proposals and components. Instead of a chest of drawers, there can be a bedside table with shelves, a folding changing table, and drawers at the bottom of the bed. In some cases, after using the bed, you can assemble it from its elements, for example, a desk.

• functionality;
• the crib grows with the child;
• takes up a minimum of space when the child is still very tiny;
• the possibility of long-term use;
• you can choose the option with exactly the furniture that you need the most.

Many models are sold with castors, which is convenient for moving around the apartment. There are convenient kits with a changing surface and a carrycot.
Advantages:

• convenient to transport during frequent trips;
• light weight, can be carried from room to room, and also used as a classroom.

Cradle intended for children up to six months, less often - up to a year. These are the most comfortable cribs for newborns, because their space is so reminiscent of the uterine period or the hugs of the mother. Moreover, they also take up very little space. Many models are equipped with removable or drop-down bumpers to move up to the adult bed and see the baby while sleeping. There are also options with motion sickness mechanisms.

Cradle benefits:

• small size;
• it is possible to rock the baby day and night without leaving the checkout;
