You can keep your hat on... (?)

The baby wore a hospital-issue cotton fabric cap while we were there, and various selections from our sizable collection of baby caps since we've been home. One thing that the caps all have in common is that they don't stay on. I don't know if it's a size issue, or shape, or the smooth fine hair on her head, but no sooner are they adjusted than they pretty much just slide off. Are there any baby caps that actually stay put?

They probably exist, but I've never found one.

So far, I haven't found any. Same thing with socks. They don't seem to stay on for very long...

In short: no. :-) And it doesn't improve (in fact, gets worse), as they age. Soon, she'll be pulling it off herself! :-D

Only one of our many hats stayed on Amarie; it was a Penn State U. hat donated by her aunt. No idea why it stayed on so much better than the others; perhaps it had better elastic?

As for socks, that's the reason you put shoes on babies (as far as we can tell): it's the only way to keep the socks on.
