[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At River Road Bethesda Whole Foods. Mom is bundled up warm coming out of her BMW, but baby isn't. Sorry, but WTF is wrong here? It's 37 degrees![/quote]

I see this a lot. Takes half a second to pop a hat on baby's balled head![/quote]

And it takes another half second for that baby to rip the hat right off. If you have one of those babies who will keep a hat on, more power to you.

And "balled"? Seriously?[/quote]

Wild guess, but I think she meant "bold".

I'm proponent of bundling babies. Here are reasons:

Their heads are usually bold or have very little hair. Babies' heads are large, compared to their tiny bodies. I think it is like 40% larger then adults, so more heat loss there.

Babies do not walk or move around as much as adults do. Compared to adults, babies bodies aren't as good at regulating and maintaining proper temperature.

Babies cannot help themselves by covering up when they are cold, that is your job.

You have to put at least one more layer on your baby then what you are wearing. Think about it, your hair provides you with a natural "hat", does your kid have it?

Chronic sniffles is a good sign that your kid is usually underdressed. Chronic sniffles are likely to lead to chronic ear infections.

Unsurmountable problem of babies taking off their hats only affects very few kids and is completely new phenomenon in a human history.
