Enjoy the photos of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia NICU/Infant ICU unit dressing up for Halloween.

Love the "Cat Lady".  "Fondly" remember sleeping with those foam hair rollers as a child.

And I get that, I'm just not keen on using little babies as dress-up dolls, but as I said earlier I realize that's a view particular to me (and maybe a few others).

I'm with you on this one IF there's been no permission/ input from parents.

I think this is adorable.

As for the photo ops.. Parents have to sign for permission for the babies to be dressed up and have the picture taken.  Usually things like this a run through the hospital's foundation and coordinated with the NICU.  I think it is especially helpful for those parents who are wanting a small opportunity for something semi-normal.
