A garment which can be put on a baby without having to slip the baby's head through a neck opening in said garment or slip the baby's arms through sleeves in said garment but which completely encloses the baby to keep it warm without the need for other garments within said garment;

• said garment comprising:
• a single piece of material which, when laid out flat, is substantially in the shape of a cross, said cross having a vertical axis and a first horizontal axis which intersect at a center of said cross;
• said cross comprising four substantially quadrilateral forms;
• two of said forms projecting substantially horizontally and two of said forms extending substantially vertically from said center of said cross;
• each of said forms having three sides free and a fourth side adjoining the remainder of said piece of material;
• a first opening being provided about said center of said cross;
• said first opening serving as said neck opening when the baby is within said garment;
• a slit being provided in one of said vertically-projecting forms;
• said slit extending vertically from a horizontallyextending free side of said one verticallyprojecting to said first opening;
• said slit dividing said one vertically-projecting form into two adjacent form portions;
• said piece of material being foldable about said first horizontal axis and about the baby to form each of said two horizontally-projecting forms into front and back portions of a sleeve and to form said vertically-projecting forms into front and back portions of said garment;
• releasable fastener means being provided along two horizontally-extending free sides of each of said horizontallyprojecting forms, on vertically-opposite sides thereof, for fastening said front and back portions of said sleeves to one another along said horizontally-extending free sides to close said sleeves about the arms of the baby when the baby is within said garment;
• said garment also comprising:
• releasable fastener means for fastening said front and back portions of said garment to one another to close said garment at its sides about the baby within said garment;
• and releasable fastener means for fastening said two adjacent form portions of said one vertically-projecting form to each other along said slit to close said slit with the baby within said garment;
• and
• said garment further comprising:
• a convex shape where one of the horizontally-extending free sides of each horizontally-projecting form intersects one of the vertically-extending free sides of one of the vertically-projecting forms;
• each of said convex shapes defining an enlargement of said material which can be introduced under an armpit of the baby to close further each of said sleeves about the baby.
