The most common kind of bonnet worn today is a soft headcovering for babies. They are shaped similarly to the kind of bonnets women used to wear, that is they cover the hair and ears, but not the forehead. See also Coif.

Famous quotes containing the word babies:
“The loosening, for some people, of rigid role definitions for men and women has shown that dads can be great at calming babies—if they take the time and make the effort to learn how. It’s that time and effort that not only teaches the dad how to calm the babies, but also turns him into a parent, just as the time and effort the mother puts into the babies turns her into a parent.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“He tells me how sweet
The babies look in their hospital
Icebox,”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
