Some young Chinese couples are adopting a new baby-caring method called “playdate:” Several families with young kids form a small group, and the parents of each family take turns looking after the kids during weekends and holidays. Thus, parents who are not on "duty" can enjoy some quiet time and do something they have been planning.for a long time. Meanwhile, the kids can make new friends, so they won't hang around their parents all day. However, some parents wonder if "baby-pooling"is a feasible way to help children grow healthily.
