Dad Constructs Baby Iron Man Costume So His Hospitalized Infant Can Feel Brave

Here's a labor of love from a real superhero dad. Eric Hart's infant son has been hospitalized since birth. He decided the ideal costume should be something that would make his son feel brave. The result, a baby Iron Man costume.

Hart found an Iron Man costume pattern online, downsized it to fit a baby, then transferred the pattern to foam to make the mask. as you can see from the video, the process took a lot of time and work.

While the Iron Man mask and costume was designed to make the baby feel brave, it also seems as if it was a wonderful way to make dad a little braver, too.
