Based on clothes only, is this baby a boy or a girl?

[AFewScrewsLucy]

Just need an unbiased opinion.

Someone once asked me if my baby was a girl or a boy, when she was wearing a pink and white rose print smocked dress and a little bonnet.

My son used to get called a girl, all the time. He had curly, blonde hair ( just above shoulder length ), the most beautiful plump red lips and long eyelashes.
Was always mistaken for a girl! If they asked HER name, I use to reply "Zachary" and walk off... :)

OP, don't worry when dd1 was 16mths someone called her "A tough looking chap."

It's the lack of hair.

I’d say girl because of the edge of the t shirt.

My ds was mistaken for a girl most of the time (he was bald until 18 months and dresses in bright colours mainly as I hate the grey/black/brown I’m a cheeky monkey stile)

Dd is often mistaken for a boy even if dressed in a dress with pigtails! Often she wears brothers hand me downs which he got referred to as a girl and still she is referred to as he. She had a name that could be boy or girl, so most people don’t realise they’ve guessed wrong and I’m not bothered enough to correct them

I dressed my daughter like that, and was constantly asked his name.

I'd guess girl if I had to chose

That outfit seems gender neutral to me although I can see why the shirt could be more 'girly' with that slightly tasseled edging

Apparently not wearing pink and frills means it's hard to tell.

Nope you'd still get asked What is his name?

About 16 years ago, when I hadn't long started working for Mothercare, I was chatting to a proud new mum who was very new to the area. Old fashioned type pram, navy with pale blue blanket peeking around the side, baby inside, about 3/ 4 months old was wearing a beautiful pale blue gingham romper with Peter Rabbit embroidered on it so I said "Your baby is beautiful, what's his name?"
You would have thought I'd said the baby looked like the back end of a cow at the acid she spewed forth "HER name is..."

Based on this house a boy wearing his sisters hand-me-downs 😂

Either?

I get why you’d be annoyed if it’s a boy and someone mistook him for a boy. Family members and friends have done with my cats for years, it’s so irrational but it winds me up!

Could be either

Girl

My niece had very little hair for a long time and it seemed this was the cue people used to decide she was a boy

According to my Mum as a newborn, wrapped in a pink blanket, wearing a pink hat and pink frills with a hospital band saying “Baby Girl Smith” one nurse in the maternity ward insisted on repeatedly referring to me as “young man”. Mum was upset and said “Please stop referring to my daughter as he and young man. Can’t you see she’s a girl?” and the nurse snatched me away and said “I don’t care what he is, he’s making far too much noise. I’m taking him away to the nursery so we can all get some peace and quiet.”

Gendered clothes are a funny thing. I didnt find out the baby's sex while I was pregnant so DD was dressed as a variety of animals (rabbits, ducks, bears, giraffes etc) for the first year of her life. Interestingly it was only once I put her in a yellow and pink dinosaur top she was referred to as "He" lol

@Dollywilde any mother worth her salt in that situation would say "she's called Alex" or "his name's Leslie"

My older son was mistaken for a girl (aged 3) purely because his gorgeous (at that point still red) hair was quite - well, long isn't really the word because it's like uncurly curls, if you see what I mean (still is) - anyway, there was a lot of it. He was in a bright red coat and Boys' Shoes at the time.

My eldest always got mistaken for a boy because she had no hair no matter what she was wearing.

Pretty neutral but err towards girl because it looks like a frilly cuff.

Love the trousers!

Girl... sort of thing my granddaughter wears but wouldn't be surprised if it was a boy, just comfortable, practical clothes really.

Girl from top
Leggings boy

So shrug ? Girl ?

@AFewScrewsLucy

She's a girl. Just she gets called a boy when we're out ... This is typical clothing for her. So wondering if I was just going mad. it makes no difference to me, I really was just wondering how many people thought boy vs girl.

I'd have said girl due to the pink stripes, as stereotypical that is. But admit the dark grey trousers/leggings made me think that it could have been a boy.

Girl

Either. Does it matter?

No idea
