255 Coupons for Babies' Clothes Hitherto, made-up baby clothes have been unrationed, while mothers who wished to make everything at home have had to surrender coupons for the materials they used. Now, all expectant mothers are getting a special ration of 50 coupons on a certificate given by the doctor or midwife booked to attend the confinement or by the Medical Officer of an ante-natal clinic. The baby also is entitled to a ration at birth. And all baby garments will be rationed from 12th August onwards.
