Baby layette sachets: which bags to buy for the change in the hospital?

Is a newborn on the way and are you preparing the layette for the baby? Remember to also bring the bags for the first changes in the hospital. Here’s where to find them and some buying tips!

The sachets for the baby’s layette are plastic or fabric bags that can contain everything you need to easily organize the baby’s linen changes for the days following delivery (usually you put a jumpsuit, a leotard and socks for each bag).

In fact, having in the bag for the hospital already prepared all the clothes for the first changes day by day, is a very convenient thing for mothers who have just given birth. In fact, it is enough to deliver to the nursery the bags ready with the name and with the dresses (one for each change). This prevents the mother from being there to “ravana” in the bag at a time when perhaps she just needs to rest.

What types of layette bags are there?

Generally on the market there are these two solutions: plastic bags and fabric bags. The choice between one or the other depends on the preferences and tastes of mothers.

Among the most popular we find the classic IKEA bags, which of course you can find in the stores. Cheap and practical.

Plastic baby layette bags

Plastic layette bags are a very popular solution because they are practical, hygienic, odorless and space-saving. They are usually equipped with a functional cursor which guarantees a completely insulating hermetic closure, capable of keeping the contents away from potential sources of contamination.
On the market you can really find all kinds, with very nice designs, spaces or special labels to write the name and contained in elegant boxes and gift packages. Really many cute to take to the hospital.
However, there are not a few mothers who, in order to save money, decide to buy simple plastic bags for food with a zip closure.

Baby cloth layette bags

The bags for the fabric layette instead are a more classic solution but always very practical, comfortable and that the most romantic mothers really like. These are normal bags in cotton or linen fabric with drawstring closure that is with ribbon to be pulled. The beauty of these fabric bags is that they can be customized and after use in the hospital, they can be reused in many ways. For example, they can be used to contain the child’s change for outings outside the home, they can become bags for kindergarten, laundry racks for wardrobes or travel bags to put in the suitcase.
