just wanted to talk about some things i noticed while in the DR...when i was down there from 12/04=2/05 i had my infant daughter with me. she was 4-6mo old. and it was typical DR weather, hot during day especially in the sun, cool at night. well during that HOT daytime i noticed that other dominican infants had socks on their feet in the 90 degree weather....i personally did not put socks on my daughter during the day...at night, si... when ever a neighbor/friend would come over they would ALWAYS ask me or my husband "donde esta su media?".....and ever time im like "for what?? its 100 freakin degrees out side!~!" so i ask my husband what is the belief and he tells me that if a babys feet get cold they can get reaaally sick...is this what yall have heard too? is there more to this story?
haha ok..the second thing that happened......it would be approaching night time, still pretty warm however sun is going down or down, and i didn't religiously put a hat on my daughter....and EVERY time a neighbor/friend/family member came over they it never failed..."donde esta la gorra de la nina?"...so i ask my husband what this means...hes explaination is that if a baby gets "dew" on his/her head he/she can get really sick and/or die....anyone else heard this? is there any more to the story?
just curious...no big deal that the people said this, but it did get a little annoying and sometimes i purposely didn't put socks or a hat on her just so i could predict who was going to ask where they were....guess i got bored down there...!!
any other dr beliefs anyone knows about off hand?
