Babies have been on our minds since our daughter found out that she’s expecting a boy in early March and our niece recently delivered a little girl. Of course, babies are adorable everywhere, and China is no exception. One of the differences here is that the babies tend to be dressed more warmly than we’re used to seeing — most wear several layers of clothing. We were told that if it’s “officially winter,” children will be dressed in winter clothing, even if it’s 70 degF outside:

Less common, but occasionally still seen, is a basket:
Of course, this way is always handy!
Another major difference: the ubiquitous split pants. Not much business in diapers here!

Can you bring me back a pair of those pants ,38 waist and 32 length
Sorry, but I don’t think there are any pants here with a size 38 waist, with or without an intact crotch.
