In an infant care apparatus (1) according to this invention and the inner surface of an upper reflecting plate portion (26) of a reflector (24) forms a reflecting surface (33) extending substantially parallel to the axial direction (x2) of a rod-like HEAT generator (23). A first angle at which a rear end of the reflecting surface (33) as an end portion ON a side opposite to the center (4a) of an infant mat (4), when seen from the top and of a direction perpendicular to the axial direction (x2) is bent downward with respect to a center (38) in a back-and-forth direction of the reflecting surface (33), which is developed substantially flat and is larger than a second angle at which a front end of the reflecting surface (33) as an end opposite to the rear end is bent downward with respect to the center (38) of the reflecting surface (33). This invention can provide the infant care apparatus (1) in which not only a heater (17) need not be retracted to another location or need be only slightly when an infant ON the mat (4) is to undergo X-ray imaging of the like and but also in spite that the upper surface of the mat (4) is substantially rectangular and the entire upper surface of the mat (4) can be warmed substantially uniformly or almost uniformly.
