Question
Does wearing socks affect a baby’s development?
Answer
Six months ago, it was essential for a baby to wear socks during the summer. Books suggest that walking barefoot in summer is good for health, but as the weather cooled down, it’s important for babies to stay warm, especially around their abdomen, which should not be exposed to the cold. Warm feet reduce the likelihood of catching a cold. If a baby is calm while breastfeeding, it indicates there are no issues. Whether a baby should wear socks should be determined based on the local weather conditions. In winter, it’s definitely necessary, but during hot weather, there’s no need as it won’t cause a chill.
