Hi I'm creating a product for my textiles GCSE which is aimed particularly at premature babies and their families. The product is a baby grow which is made from thermochromic fabric which turns from a colour to white when the baby's body temperature rises above 37 degrees, thus alerting the parents/carers that their child is overheating. I have also planned for there to be some small magnets sewn into the cuffs of the sleeves which improve circulation and remove acidity from the body caused by disease or infenction. I would really appreciate it if you would reply back and tell me any necessary requirements you would have for the product so that I can improve and alter my design accordingly. Thanks : )

I had a baby vest for DS who is now nearly 7. It had a heat thing at the back between the shoulder blades.

I washed it with all others covered in shit at 60 degrees and the heat thing was ruined.

It was a little white logo that turned silver/blue if too warm. It stayed silver/blue after the hot wash. How would you overcome this problem?

Have you discussed this with your teacher at all? There are so many flaws that I really think you should.

Magnets are just plain daft. And dangerous.
You need something that measures low temp too.
How will it be washed?
