Parents Talk: Bikinis for Babies?

Last week, "Hazelwood Patch's" Parents Council discussed the Casey Anthony not guilty verdict. This week the council asks, "Is it OK for a baby to wear a bikini?"

Some may think of chunky baby rolls in a bikini as cute, and other people may see it as inappropriate.

But baby bikini makers have been making headlines on ABC News' Good Mornining America, The Huffington Post and a bunch of parenting blogs for making the swimwear for babies as young as 3 months old.

These aren't your typical child swimming suits. These two-piece swimsuits come in an array of styles: leopard print, along with stripes and bold colors entrenched with lace and ruffles.

Others may reflect a young adult theme with wording such as "Juicy" monogrammed on the butt.

You be the judge. Take a look at the bikini photographs and answer this week's Parents Talk question: Are bikinis appropriate swimwear for babies?
