Boy babies are not cute

Not sure if this is the right place for this but my son is 3 weeks old, when I took him out down the shops wearing a white and black sleepsuit, 4 people stopped to look and said "She" was so cute.

A couple of days later went to the shops again not a single person said anything, he was wearing his blue sleepsuit with a dino on the front.

I can't help thinking that he got no interest from people because he was wearing blue so must be a boy and who cares about boy babies they are not cute

Well it wasn't anyone I know the first time and I went to the same shops at around the same time of day, it was a brighter day the second time but less hot.

I'm still confused by it

yes dd got called a lovely boy today, in her pink flowery top

Nah, they probably just preferred the black and white outfit to the blue one.

Or it was colder and they were in a hurry.

Or... well anything really.

You're being silly. People always told dd what a beautiful little boy she was.

Baby boys are very cute! Sometimes you will get comments other times you won't. I often get comments about my DS, she is very pretty, she has a beautiful smile etc even if he is wearing very much boys cothes so I think most people do't even notice what they are wearing!

Of course they are! I had lots of lovely comments about all three of my Dc's as babies, two boys and one girl!

StealthPolarBear · 01/06/2010 13:47

my DS used to get cooed at as much as DD does, in fact there was one woman (who worked there) who started to recognise him!
Sometimes you just don't get that though - maybe it was busier second time round? People are stressed / rushed.
Anyway, put a pic on your profile and we'll tell you

Ah rubbish! Boy babies are super cute. IMO anyway. Well, mine were/are at least and I'm sure your son is too.

BessieBoots · 01/06/2010 13:45

No, I don't think so- Maybe you just didn't see the kinds of people who would comment.

You're massively overthinking this tbh- chill out!

don't be silly.

Of course he is cute and adorable. Many people find it difficult to determine the sex of young babies if they are wearing neutral colours.

Maybe you just didn't bump into anyone you knew or anyone forward enough to stick their head in and comment.
