Abstract:
The presence of clothing for infants does not reflect in quality and quantity the actual situation of medical knowledge. Economical conditions are not responsible for that fact, but especially uninformation of industry and physicians, too. Our contribution should inform doctors, especially from child welfare centres, about clothing to infants. Recommendations were given to a more proper clothing of infants.
