| I am thinking 6 to 9 months but wondering if there is a chance that will be too small once it’s cold enough? |

I'd go with 12 months. You want baby to be able to wear it through much of the next winter.

| I agree with 12+ months because infants usually aren’t outside for very long in cold weather and would be hot inside in a hooded cardigan! |

My babies were outside all the time. That seems like a weird assumption. |

| None, I would not put a baby in a hooded cardigan. |

What if the hood had a pom-pom? |

| 18 mos. better too big than too tiny. I think my DD was in 18 mos clothing at 6 mos or so |

You had quite the chunker! Mine too - she's 7 yrs old and wears size 10. Very tall. |

Me either. She's not Mister Rogers. |

Forget about the haters! Our au pair showed up with a cardigan for our three month old knitted by her mother. He’s
10 and we still have it. |

| I'd love one. I'd do 9-12 months. |

No one is hating. This is a nice idea but a hoodie is a strangulation risk for that age. Knit a nice cardigan instead. |
