Patient's question:
According to the elders, it is said that babies should not wear socks. Does wearing socks affect a baby's development?Doctor's answer:
6-month-old babies must wear socks in the summer. The book says that walking barefoot in summer is beneficial for health, but when the weather gets cooler, babies need to pay attention to keeping warm, especially their abdomen must not get cold. When their feet are warm, they are less likely to catch a cold. If the child does not cry or fuss while nursing, it means everything is fine. Whether the child wears socks depends on the local weather conditions. In winter, they definitely need to wear them, but in hot weather, there is no need, as they won't get cold.
