To Hat or Not To Hat

This is an interesting article about applying a hat to the baby's head shortly following birth. There is evidence the practice of hatting can actually interfere with mother baby bonding. There is also no scientific research that shows applying a hat to the baby's head warms the baby or prevents heat loss better than skin to skin contact, I would never have guessed that even the act of hatting could be controversial.
