what is an acceptable age to draw a moustache on my baby?

[renlovesyou]

DP says 6 months. I say 3. Please help resolve this!

[BikeRunSki]

I'd say once you have the fine motor skills to hold the pen.

[FabbyChic]

I agree with Bike! and not a moment before.

Best thread title. Very good. I say from newborn, why wait?

[VajazzHands]

As soon as you know for sure he doesn't have overly sensitive skin. Photo shopping one would be funnier though

[renlovesyou]

Thanks for the advice guys! Do you think a Poirot or a Hitler would be the best look?

[onepieceoflollipop]

How old is the baby? You may have left it too late.

[Hassled]

I'm with your DH. 3 month olds seldom have the maturity to carry off a faux moustache. They need the extra gravitas that those few months give them.

[4FoxAche]

You know, I've often been very tempted to do this when watching either one of the babies sleeping.

One is 6months so i'd say that's about right!

[MrsKarteDor]

Or a proper fake furry stick-on....

[Honeydragon]

This is my kind of thread. Ds had Egyptian day recently and dh was horrified at my sheer desperation for the day to come so I could get the eyeliner oiut and make up ds

Not until you've the ears pierced

Buck convention and go for a Stalin.

[Lulumama]

did curly tache and glasses and a small beard on both DCs around 6 - 8 months, looks better when they can sit up IMO x

brown eye liner looks better than pen and comes off easier

[VinegarTits]

you cant draw a mustache on your baby

unless you draw a pair of spectacles to go with it

[renlovesyou]

Perhaps one of these?

Hot & Sexy Face Fur

[FabbyChic]

Ha ha ha you would need some eyeliner pencil for that!

[jaggythistle]

my DS would love it if i did! he'd be posing at the mirror for hours.

he's a bit of a Mr Pontipine fan.

he's 18 months though, would probably have to do it at night. and it would currently be erased by snot trails.

Soon...

Newborn. But wipe off the gunky birth stuff first or the eyeliner won't take too well voice of experience

[QOD]

YOu are never too young to have a black nose & whiskers drawn on, perhaps compromise - start with that and move on to a 'tach at 6 mths?

[claretandcheese]

Handlebar. With a pipe. At any age.

[Lulumama]

don't forget comedy eyebrows too !

[PurveyorOfWoo]

Best thread title ever!

Though I did read it as an acceptable age for YOU not the baby. Was thinking you could probably get away with it up to about 24 as a bit of high jinks. Anything over lacks a certain gravitas

[DirtyMartini]

Thank you for this thread. DP and I have just agreed to do this to both kids at the weekend.

[IWillNotNeverEatATomato]

Liquid eyeliner work a treat

pop them in a pirate outfit to contextualise

thought I might share photographic evidence of my moustachioed (sp?) DS (was 3 in the pic) have a look in my photos

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

I did a go compare moustache for DDs 1st birthday. Did I go too far?
