Momma Knows Best

I have often wondered what people think when they see me out with long sleeves and pants on, and my child is in her car seat in a onesie with no socks on and blanket over her.  I almost always put a blanket over her because I don't want those old bittys giving me the eye about my baby not being clothed head to toe.  The truth of the matter is, Elise is just like her Daddy... hot natured.  She gets even hotter strapped down in that car seat without any air.  She HATES having anything on her feet and kicks off whatever I put on them.  Too many times have I picked her up and she's sweaty from being in her car seat.  So, from then on I keep her clothes to a minimum and can always add a blanket if I need to.  When it was snowing and cold outside, she very rarely wore a coat or heavy clothes.  She had on long sleeves, pants, and a hat.  But she was only going from the house to the truck (which was always warmed up) so she wasn't outside in the cold much.  I just hope other people bare in mind that just because they are cold doesn't mean my baby who's confined to her car seat is too.  It makes her really mad to be hot and it aggravates me to pick her up and her hands, feet, or back are all sweaty.
