Abstract
A garment for infants comprises a comfort component serving as a base, a plurality of signal transmission paths integrated within the comfort component; and at least one interface that provides a transmission path between the information infrastructure component and an external device. In addition, the garment has the means to ensure a snug fit for the baby so that the sensors stay in place to minimize the risk of false alarms while the baby is safe and comfortable. This feature also helps to extend the usable life of the garment as the baby grows.
