Which headwear is appropriate for a 2 year old? A cap or a bonnet?

I think that most of those little girls wearing bonnets are a bit older than my DD.  I don't know if I am glad to get to do it or not. It is a bit of pressure being a fashion designer, people expect her to be cute all the time. |

Like she has to *try* to be cute. She's a doll, designed clothes or no. Awww.

Probably a cap indoors, and possibly a bonnet over a cap outside. How long the cap/bonnet would stay on is between the individual child and their parent!
(I wonder if I have time to make Teo a cap?)

I adore bonnets! I think that little girls looks so cute in them.

I think a cap might be easier to keep on her head since it wouldn't be blocking her vision.

That is true. The only downside is that they come off really easy.

Think of what a cap does - It keeps the head and hair moderately clean. It protects baby from drafts in cold English and European houses. And it to a degree keeps the sun off the head. Bonnets were worn right over top of the cap. If baby is used to wearing a cap then putting the bonnet on is no big deal. Bonnets provide sun protection and in less nice weather protection from cold and rain.
