Why do people want their children to get cold, and sick?
The article goes on the explain which hats are best, and recommends a gaiter or infinity type of scarf, which can’t fall off or get caught in a car door.

Hahahah. That is an article by consumer reports that wants you to know they rate hats. And they make no connection between being cold and getting sick.

Sucker.

No, it’s not Consumer Reports. What you want to do is learn how to build up immunity, so you don’t pick up every little bad germ going around. Appropriate warmth is essential for most babies and young children. Healthy nutrition is another factor. And plenty of sleep.

Well, it's 48 degrees. And no hats on babies. Of course the parents will be oh so surprised when the kids are sick.

You do know this thread is 5+ years old.

Unfortunately, all the babies without hats in 2013 died. They would have been in kindergarten now, it's such a shame.

You won the internet today. Everyone else - please come back tomorrow.

I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer, but my baby did die in 2013. My heart dropped a little by realizing she would be in kindergarten now with PPs post. So, not so funny for me, but if another year were referenced, I may have laughed without thinking of my own woe is me story.

Keep on keeping on!

I’m so sorry PP.

I have to agree.

So you just put the hat back on after she ripped it off, approximately how many times? 4 or 5? And then poof! Your baby had turned into a deep sounding stringed instrument that can no longer remove its gloves and hat because, alas, stringed instruments do not have hands to do so. Pretty cool science, ma.

Your baby isn’t wearing a hat in freezing temps?

Pretty sure PP was being sarcastic

Hopefully they got a hat that stays on.

Yes, 37 degrees IS.THAT.COLD if you are exposed to it for a prolonged period of time. Running from a car into a store is an entirely different matter.
