Thanks for doing my homework for me, Rosalie. Though it's important to be
informed about this, I hope nobody in this group finds themselves testing
these various theories. I hope to have my grandkids aboard someday and will
look into the references you've so kindly brought to my attention.

Interesting, J&S. Not to contradict you, as I have only anecdotal
experience, but I found my kids to be more cold resistant than most
adults,
including me. Can you point me to some studies/ data that suggest this?
Thanks

We are talking about babies, and not kids (children). And the
resistance to cold that is being referenced is hypothermia due to
being submerged in cold water, not just to swimming or being out in
the snow or something. I haven't read them, but here are some
references
