Temperature at my home town is 36 centigrade, is that manditatory to cover-up new born baby head with cap. My grandmother is saying, we should not keep head open without cap. Air may go inside through ears and baby head may get bulge. is that true? if yes, how long should we use cap?

A. not mandatory , in winter cover from head to toe. use adequate blankets, 1 layer should be additional to what you are wearing for cold weather. check baby's palms and soles to have an idea whether he is cold or not.
