Quote From: megazachHave you even read all the women who have said some babies -- probably *most* babies -- do not want and will not have a blanket over their heads while they eat? You try it sometime -- it isn't much fun! Part of the glory of sharing a meal together is the social aspect, and it's not fair to ask a baby so new to this world and trying to figure it all out, to miss out on that, anymore than it would be fair to ask you to miss out. I really think we need to stop thinking of babies as a whole different species with a whole different set of rules.

I always used a light weight blanket over my shoulder, kiddo never complained. Not once.
