This made me so mad!!!

Fresh air is good for the baby. I agree that if it's really hot outside then the baby shouldn't even be outside in the first place. But 80 degrees isn't that hot at all. 80's is comfortable, 90's are caution, and over 100 is extreme caution. Now if it was over 80 degrees, I wouldn't have a blanket over my baby, but that is me. I mean some parents have their reasons for it and it doesn't necessary mean bad parenting.

In my place that too is practiced but it is done only early in the morning. When the sun is not scorchingly hot. Many said that expsoing early uin the morning is good for a baby.

Hmm now that I did conversion from farenheit to celcius, 80 is not hot at all. I can sleep at 80 degrees. I grew up in an equatorial climate. That roughly the temperature that you get in the evenings, day time is around 32 degrees celcius.

Finally someone who says it like it is. Its like you have been reading my mind. These discussions I usually have to walk away from these discussions because they irritate the heck out of me.

You know what irritates the heck out of me? People who have nothing better to do than insult others. Your life must be really sad. And if the discussion irritates you so much...don't read it.

hmmm I wonder why their stars are 7's, I really ponder that lol.

What's really funny is she has nothing better to do than insult others. Actually I don't know if that's funny or sad..hm...

Your answer was funny...The DANG BABY WAS (IS) FINE

You know Photos4sale, if you walked up to my front stoop where I was with my baby and told me to improve my parenting skills, I'd probably knock your teeth out. Why is it that people believe they need to interfere in other people's business all the time? Are your own lives that unfullfilling? Honestly?

Don't they get enough vitamins from milk? I agree with you about the fact that some people get cold easily. I am one of them. I'm the only one with a cardigan usually in the classrooms. I don't know the measurement in farenheit but wearing a t-shirt and short pants in 23 degrees celcius is on the cold side for me. The idea would be 27 degrees. I have a cool body. Sometimes my friend in my class come up to me as say its so hot, then she touch my hand and she goes "heck you are so cool, I'm burning."

yes,maybe you are true

Coolseed...the first part of what you wrote was ok...I agreed..the parental test thing...GAWD GAWD GAWD!!!! Do we want cookie cutter parents? Do we want cookie cutter children, HECK NO! For parents who are BLANTANTLY ABUSIVE----those are the ones who need parental ASSISTANCE in raising up their children, not someone who is just sitting on a porch loving her child. All parents are held accountable...it's like I'm writing to a bunch of socialists. No one can raise a kid EXCEPT THE GOVERNMENT? Do any of you know how ridiculous you are?

You obviously missed the boat. Have you ever rode in a car? Everyone takes a similar test but no one drives the same way. Why would a test make every parent the same? This was in my local paper 2 days ago. The mall security caught 2 kids in their early 20s shooting up heroine with their baby in the car. If a test would keep someone like this from having a child... THEN it is for the good of the child. ONE CAN ONLY ASSUME they were going to drive home. Why should this child have to live in this? Although some people are capable of having children, it doesn't give them right to ruin someone's life. Especially a child's. Nothing "COOKIE CUTTER" about what I said. I can see I went over your head so you want to tell me I am wrong because you chose not to understand. But you can't prove me wrong. How else do you prevent this kind of neglect?

I think the temperature depends on the baby. Some babies have very warm bodies, some have very cool bodies. Perhaps the baby was just fine. I could sleep at that temperature wearing a t-shirt and shorts and having a nice breeze.
