I'm also European and I thought I was the only one noticing this trend. And also in the summer they wear jeans and long sleeve shirts when it's almost 90s outside and humid. I dress my kids appropriately and they've never had an ear infection, sinus infection, or pneumonia. It's very easy for kids to lose heat when the head is unprotected.

I am Asian and I have also noticed this trend They do not even cover the heads of the infants, who have bald heads to begin with and no way to warm themselves. The parents are completely bundled up. I understand that the car seat does not accommodate bulky coats and coverups, but why not use a thick blanket to cover the babies when they take them out of the car? Or tuck them inside their own coats so that they can get warmed by the body heat?

Perhaps these negligent parents are just that? Negligent?

I assume this shit will help your kid get into TJ.

Thank you for clarifying a big misconception for me. I thought my kid got into TJ because of his hard work. But you have explained to me how my simple action of covering his head as an infant actually saved his brain. I now understand that these parents are just freezing their babies brains. Similar to how they freeze warts. Sad but I will myob.

+1. Saw an infant out last week with no hat or even socks on it's feet. Granted it wasn't as cold as today. It was in the 40s, but windy. Boggles my mind.

I don't know why I'm bothering to comment on a resurrected 3-yr old thread but once a kid is out of infant seat (when covering w blanket is easy) and before preschool age, it is oftentimes easier and warmer to wrap him/her in your own coat with you as you run 5 seconds from car into grocery store than it is to waste a bunch of time in freezing cold temps wrestling a thrashing, unwilling toddler into hat/gloves and jackets. Wearing Jackets in car seat is not safe.

When's the last time you tried to keep a hat on a baby that HATES hats? Seriously, my 18-month-old is more likely to spontaneously start speaking in Latin than she is to keep her damn hat on for more than five seconds.

Keep on judging, though. That's the holiday spirit!

That's my child! No hat lasted more than 5 seconds before being tossed into the slushy dirty snow... Definitely not going on him now!

Have you tried disciplining your child so that he will know that he needs to wear his hat?

My 10 month old has figured out how to undo the Velcro and untie the bows holding the hat onto her head. We have a (ridiculously expensive) button one now, but she's working on figuring out how to get it off every time it's on her head. Are you suggesting I discipline a 10 month old? How exactly would one do that?

How about covering the head with a blanket and holding it there as you take her indoors? Perhaps that will work? You can't figure out how to get a 10 month old's head covered for two minutes it takes to get her out from the car and indoors? Sorry, that is a big parenting fail and you will have bigger issues than this in the future.

Yet majority of parents have their kids well covered, and the handful who don't get noticed. Again, parenting fail!

Please tell us where your medical degree came from because they sure are teaching some strange things. None of these things is caused by exposure to cold. Period.

Bc this majority you speak of can't be bothered w car seat safety and drive around with their kids in car seats, puffy jacket and all. I'd rather a cold kid for 4 seconds then a dead kid forever, so I'll stick w my method of car seat safety and running my kid into nearby stores inside my jacket. YMMV.

This poster has clearly never met an older baby or toddler.

I'll remember this thread if my dd turns into a rebel rule breaker. She didn't have socks or a hat on going into the doctor today. And I didn't really care. I did put shoes on her to walk around in the waiting room, and they came off again on the way out.

I noticed today that is had three pair of baby socks in my purse, because I do put them on her. And when she takes them off, they go in my purse. I'm not disciplining for a non issue.

Brown pmle Research the RV replication in the bronchial epithelial cells and H1-HeLa cells and go buy some 7AM infant gear.
