Pub landlord invents babygrow that glows if child has fever

A pub landlord has signed a £12.5 million contract after inventing a baby grow that changes colour to indicate a child's temperature.

Chris Ebejer, 42, a father-of-one developed the 'Babyglow' after discovering that babies up to the age of 24 months have no way of regulating their own temperature.

He spent £700,000 and six years developing an innovative ink pigment that features heat sensitive molecules, and embedded them into a 100 per cent cotton baby grow.



Now he has signed a £12.5million contract to produce 900,000 Babyglows a month worldwide, which are set to be launched in October for around £20 each.

The worldwide patented design has been signed up by manufacturers Quality Workwear 4 U and they are also in the process of developing additional product lines like blankets.

Babyglows comes in three colours, pink, blue and pastel green, all of which turn white as soon as the baby's body temperature rises above the normal temperature for a child of 98F (37C).
