Babies have a thin skin and weak, and the function of regulating body temperature is immature, so it is greatly affected by ultraviolet rays and outside temperature. Avoid direct sunlight as much as possible, go out in clothes according to the temperature in consideration of cold protection and heat.
Due to weak immunity, it is safe to avoid crowding and public transportation as an infectious disease measure. We recommend using private cars and taxis as much as possible.

You can wear the same underwear + baby clothes as usual. When measuring body measurement, it is only diapers, so clothes that are easy to take off are smooth. The room may be hot or cold due to the influence of the air conditioner, so it may be a good idea to devise a dress that can be adjusted and prepare a walnut or bath towel.

Also, be careful when mom's maternity checkup is also performed at the same time. Because there are pelvic exams and checks for boobs, nursing clothes and front opening tops and skirts are recommended.
