1, 3
Explanation: 1. After bathing, the infant should be placed in a suitable-sized gown and then wrapped in a blanket. Many parents will eventually remove the covering to inspect the infant; however, applying a covering allows them time to adjust to the appearance at their own pace.
3. A hat can be applied to cover birth defects. This allows the parents an opportunity to view the infant before seeing the birth defect.
