Just need an unbiased opinion.

Girl. When dd was a toddler though she could be in a pink dress and still called w not

greathat · 05/06/2020 17:30

Boy

Cherrytangfastic · 05/06/2020 17:30

I would have said boy 🤷‍♀️

VenusTiger · 05/06/2020 17:31

The frills on the top make me think it's a girls top but can't tell what sex baby is from that.
I once bought my son some 'crawler tights' which he loved - they were navy blue and green striped with a dinosaur on the rear - a man in a shop said "what a pretty little girl you are!" to him once Grin didn't bother me one bit - he was always a pretty baby lol

Don't worry, many many people have crappy opinions! I'm sure she's a cutie Smile

Notthetoothfairy · 05/06/2020 17:32

I would have said girl based on the top, but people are probably thrown by the dark grey trousers (a very non-girly colour).

BlingLoving · 05/06/2020 17:32

Stripes are boys. Dots are girls. I don't know why. So I'd have thought boy.

Having said that, this is exactly the kind of outfit that both DD and DS would have been dressed in. To my irritation, I accept that full on pink is girl and full on trucks/dinosaurs are boy (ie that it would be assumed that way - never stopped me putting either one in whatever turned up if it was the "wrong" gender) but I always refused to buy into the stripe/dot/any other colour thing.

Girl

ViciousJackdaw · 05/06/2020 17:34

Never mind her clothes, she looks a little jaundiced to me.

SecretNutellaFix · 05/06/2020 17:34

I'd say girl.

Going on the narrow stripes on a white background, plus the hem and sleeve edges are slightly frilled, plus the leggings as opposed to slightly looser fit trousers that most baby boys wear locally.

My girl is called a boy even when she’s wearing a pink dress while my son is called a girl when he’s in digger joggers and a Fireman Sam T shirt (Not that a girl couldn’t wear those or a boy a pink dress)

I don’t think people stereotype by clothes but by hair, my son has long hair, my daughter has almost none.

thesuperfluousone · 05/06/2020 17:35

girl

Girl

Victoria6386 · 05/06/2020 17:36

Girl, i bet its a boy though

WoollyMollyMonkey · 05/06/2020 17:36

When my two were babies (20+ years ago now!) people (strangers in shops etc) would stop me and say “Oh what a lovely baby what’s HER name/ how old is SHE?” (Something like that) when it was my son, dressed in blue. And then when I had my daughter they would refer to her as HIM even when dressed in pink! She didn’t have much hair, bless her but obviously a girl in my opinion.

Some people are just bonkers. Best just not take any notice!

Frlrlrubert · 05/06/2020 17:36

I'd have thought girl.

DD wore a lot of boys clothes until she started making her own choices. I prefer the colours and often found them more practical.

I once sent my mum a pic of DD on my lap so you could literally see the bottom of my shirt, my jeans, and my converse. My mum replied 'oh, look at her with her daddy'! So she's ont the only one that was getting mistaken for male 😂

DullPortraits · 05/06/2020 17:38

I would say girl due to the frills on cuffs and bottom of top but i am gonna guess its a boy or you wouldn't be asking

AFewScrewsLucy · 05/06/2020 17:38

@MikeUniformMike

Shouldn't she have a pink t-shirt with Mummy's Little Princess/Unicorn/Little Angel/Mermaid on it?

That photo is a bit outing - I take it you have the same facial features?

I'd say girl due to the top. People are odd. When my DD was a few months old we were in Sainsburys, an elderly woman came over and said what a cute little boy she was. DD was wearing pale grey leggings with some detail on the bottom with a turquoise and purple Miffy the rabbit t shirt which looked like a girls top. Apparently not wearing pink and frills means it's hard to tell.
I like pink but didn't want every item to be pink.

ToothFairyNemesis · 05/06/2020 17:39

Girl

TheLadyAnneNeville · 05/06/2020 17:39

Little girl.

mightbealittlebitmad · 05/06/2020 17:39

Top looks like it's from the girls section purely because it has frills so the baby would be a girl to someone who purely only buys from the "right section" However, I bought my boy leggings from the girls section including a pair with pink unicorns on which made people think he was a girl so the baby could also be a boy.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 05/06/2020 17:39

girl

1forsorrow · 05/06/2020 17:40

Could be either. Some people think if it's a girl they have to be in a frilly dress. I used to dress my DD like that.

DivGirl · 05/06/2020 17:40

It's cheating to not include their socks. You can always tell by a baby's socks.
