I read this thread with amusement. I cannot believe someone actually took the time to post about parents' decision on how to dress their children appropriately. We should support each other rather than judge. Maybe the parent who only has socks on the baby was only out for a quick trip and knows what her own baby needs! Sheesh. If the baby is cold and uncomfortable s/he will fuss and cry. And really- slightly cold feet is hardly tantamount to child abuse!
