In an infant care apparatus according to this invention, the inner surface of an upper reflecting plate portion of a reflector forms a reflecting surface extending substantially parallel to the axial direction of a rod-like heat generator. A first angle at which a rear end of the reflecting surface as an end portion on a side opposite to the center of an infant mat, when seen from the top, of a direction perpendicular to the axial direction is bent downward with respect to a center in a back-and-forth direction of the reflecting surface, which is developed substantially flat, is larger than a second angle at which a front end of the reflecting surface as an end opposite to the rear end is bent downward with respect to the center of the reflecting surface. This invention can provide the infant care apparatus in which not only a heater need not be retracted to another location or need be only slightly when an infant on the mat is to undergo X-ray imaging of the like, but also in spite that the upper surface of the mat is substantially rectangular, the entire upper surface of the mat can be warmed substantially uniformly or almost uniformly.
