If you’ve ever wondered how many layers it takes to be considered a warm baby in Korea, I guess it’s at least one more layer than this. Because a onesie, lined track suit with hood, puffy jacket extending over the hands, hat, Ergo winter cover, and being worn against mum was still not enough to prevent the cold comments on the subway today.
And to add to that, it’s not even really cold yet!
AND it was on the subway…not even outside!
you know most of the time Koreans just say that to make conversation or to leave a comment (like the English equivalent of small talks) …. like have you eaten yet? is a popular one…
Um, when people run up to you in public, pull on your child, and repeatedly berate you in an angry voice that your child is cold…I’m pretty sure it’s not small talk.
Hi!
i gave birth to our daughter Hannah 하나 three months ago so your blog is especially fascinating to me. Love this post as i have had the same comments. I spent the usual month quarentined in the apartment after taking our baby home from hospital only to be looked upon with horror from passers by on our first trip outside, “isnt she cold!!!???” I was so sad as i had been waiting so long to proudly take my little angel out in her new stroller, all bundled up like a bug in a rug. I felt like maybe i was already failing as a parent. I was pleased to have my family and friends back home give me a reality check 
i guess this is just the begining though!
Wow reading these posts is like reading about my own life! I too am married to a korean and am attempting to navigate and survive everyday life here in this wonderful and sometimes frustrating country
Hi Gemma
Congrats on your baby, and thanks for reading. According to someone, we are always failing as parents lol
