Millennial parents are torn between experts encouraging babies to have barefoot time and grandparents who insist the tots have toasty tootsies
Emma, I hear parent-internet is abuzz about baby feet. Has Hemingway’s six-word story gone viral?
Not this time, though some may find it just as heartbreaking. There’s a generational divide over whether or not babies need socks, and it’s confusing grandparents around the world. Young parents are opting for barefoot babes – on TikTok, in playgrounds, at the supermarket, in the comfort of their own warm and cosy home. Everywhere.
Are young parents right, or just unconcerned with icy tootsies?
If I’ve learned anything as a new parent, it’s that we’re all just trying to get to bedtime as peacefully as we can without being beaten up by the world and/or our kids in the process.
