Covering the head of a baby during umrah

Q: Does a 7 month old baby girl have to cover her head while doing umrah? If yes, is a cap fine? As a scarf wont be easy for her.

A: It is not necessary to cover the head of the child during umrah. These laws do not apply to an infant child.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
