Baby Wigs?

When my daughter was born she was a bald as could be, and stayed that way for about 2 years. She finally got her beautiful blond curls after that, but during the bald days, we just put bonnets on her head and stood back and accepted the compliments (she was a cute little rascal).

Some outfit has decided it would be cute to stick wigs on baby's heads. This is not a good idea:

There's a Bob Marley style dreadlock wig, a Samuel L Jackson afro as seen in movie Pulp Fiction and a Donald Trump comb-over - perhaps for that mature look.

For the girls there's flowing pink locks based on singer Lil' Kim.

But Michelle Elliott of Kidscape said as well as unnecessary the wigs could be dangerous.

"This is ridiculous. Any parent who buys one of these wigs for their child needs their head examining."

Wigs are incredibly uncomfortable for a start. Babies are wonderful but dirty little things and the last thing they need is a wig."...

The firm's website says its aim to "show that while parenting can be a great responsibility, it can also be a source of endless amusement."

It'll be amusing until some kid sticks a handful of dreadlocks in his mouth when mom's not looking and chokes to death. Then it won't be so funny.
