About MeToday's child might wear a pull on fleece hat or colourful brimmed hat affording protection from the sun, children in the first part of the 20th century wore some very uncomfortable headwear creations.

From birth babies wore caps for indoors and outdoors, often elaborately embroidered with fine white needlework.
