Tip of the day

If your DH says he wants breakfast in bed, chuck a sleeping bag onto the kitchen floor. MamaG

Quote of the week

Bucharest on the potentially perilous pitfalls of pregnancy: "You get so used to grown men whose first names you don't know shuftying about up your nethers that you have to chant to yourself, like a mantra, in the dentist's waiting room, "Don't take your pants off, it's just teeth this time."

Recipe of the week

Porpoise's red berry pavlova: lashings of strawberries and cream for Wimbledon finals weekend - with the ace addition of a crunchy, chewy meringue base. Serve with panache and await a grateful chorus of, "Ooh, I say!"

High heels for 6 month old babies - noooooo! (39 posts)
god YES bewilderbeast that is IT

I was trying to think what they looked like
I don't think its anything to get worked up over

agree with kathy, they just look...odd.

But I don't think they are anywhere near as bad as those t shirts.

reminds me of miss piggy's shoes in the muppets
Well these things would be bought by the same parents who put their dd in t-shirts that state "Sexy" or worse, plastered over their 4 year old torso.
It's just wrong on so many levels.

I saw those on the news yesterday and thought they were vile. I struggle to walk in heels so why bon earth would you want to put them on a baby?

It's surprising just how horrible they look actually.

But I suppose getting your baby to wear them, will be be one more way of announcing that you're a bit thick. For those who want to share that with the world, I suppose we shouldn't stop them, though sometimes it might be kinder to.

I think they're funny.
I did see a bra top for 18-24 months old in debenhams the other day, me and another lady ranted at the poor shop assistant about how wrong it wasblush and how they should be taken off the shelves.

I think they are vile, but I sort of want to buy a pair for baby dd now, just so that I can watch other people's faces arrange themselves into gasps of horror. It would be a cheap laugh, but a laugh nevertheless.
Sickening and totally wrong.
As if the world didn't have anough problems already...

totally designed to sexualise baby girls, no other reason.

The heels look good to chew on

Now that could get very messy smartiejake grin

Shoes are v grim by the way

Why would someone think that was a good idea ?

I would have loved to have seen the reaction on dragons den
Or Nappy thongs?
Oh FFS! Now I have seen everything. What next? A babygym with a pole dancing feature?
<<boak>>

that is wrong on several levels

I can't understand why someone would want their child to wear them. But each to their own, I guess.
Sadly they are real... this isn't news though.

The telegraph reported it in june - here

I think they are funny! That baby looks so chuffed to be wearing them.

WTF?? They don't even look nice, why would someone want to put those on their baby?
as for the comment re ear piercing in baby girls, I never used to see anything wrong with it, its only since I actually have a child that I think its loopy to pierce a babies ears.
hair for babies = funny
high heals for babies = wtf?!

I had my 6mth old in socks or big fluffy booties.

<sorry, but those Baby Toupees are v.v amusing!>
Oh, I recognise exactly how fun the shoes are, Mrs Taylor... hmm
LOL Funnylittlefrog.
The high heels are so weird I can't even quite feel disgusted by them.... they're just odd.

Reminds me of baby toupee. But at least you could argue that the wigs are mildly amusing.

Jeez, what next? Bras and thongs?

What about some nice knee high boots? My 3 month old DD would look great with her little chubby baby legs stuffed into a pair of them grin

Mrs Taylor added: "People who buy the heels are perfectly normal mums who are either interested in fashion or just recognise how fun the shoes are."

I'm a normal mum interested in fashion and I am actually a bit disgusted by these. I don't see anything fun about them at all.

Anyone remember that bizarre woman into reborn dolls - the one who washed the pram wheels - I bet she has some.
Eww!
Blimey
