Suit changes color when baby's temperature is high
Six years ago Chris Ebejer conceived a way to stop babies from overheating. Now, proudly, he is delivering his fully-formed creation to the world. The father of one has signed a £12.5million contract with a manufacturer to take his 'Babyglow' babygrows global.
The garments change colour with baby's temperature - meaning they can tell parents when their child is getting too hot and help prevent catastrophic illness. Overheating can cause a baby's brain to shut down and is also an indication of illnesses such as meningitis. Mr Ebejer, who had his idea while watching a documentary about babies, began the search for an ink pigment with heat-sensitive molecules. He spent six years and £700,000 working with scientists to develop-the pigments to embed into cotton babygrows.
