Lesson 14 : Clothing Requirements of Infants

Introduction

New born babies’ clothing must provide warmth, comfort and hygiene. Since baby’s body allows quick heat up and cool-off, their body temperatures have to be watched very carefully. Hence clothes selected for babies should keep them sufficiently warm at all times. During the early months, the activities of an infant are limited to eating and sleeping, the clothing needs are limited to a few items which are necessary for his protection and comfort like shirts and diapers. Babies outgrow clothing very fast. Everything a baby wears should to be washable. In fact, it is wise to wash everything a baby uses before wearing even if in a sealed package.
