to use my beautiful pink sling for my baby boy?

[biddysmama]

its my favourite sling ( i have a few different kinds) but dd is 16 months and i havent been able to use it for her for a while and i have a baby boy due in 5 weeks

aibu to use it for him... dp thinks i am and wants me to buy a new one

YANBU after all your wearing it and you're a girl and quite frankly it doesn't really matter

of course you should use it! the baby is not going to know the difference....

what does your DH think will happen if you use a pink sling? you might get a few people assuming its a girl, but that happens anyway.

Just do it.

I have people talking about my "lovely little boy" even when my DD is wearing a pink dress!! I kid you not!

It doesn't matter does it? (And why is it always dad's and GP's that seem to care about such things?)

Or buy some dye!

i dont think it would matter, yanbu
unless you can get same one in a different colour then sell the others you dont prefer and buy another colour of it if dh is that bothered

Agree with easywriter YANBU. My daughter is also constantly called a boy. I wouldn't think twice about carrying my dd in a blue sling so it should work the same way. If you like it, go ahead and use it!

Your dh is being silly.

Dye it scarlet

sorry, i have another colour of the same style, its the pattern and colours that i like

thats the same as mine... i have a red flowery one as well but apparently thats ok

i carried ds4 in a pink and purple sling, no one ever said anything about it and i would have given them a face if they did!

but your dh is giving you the go ahead to buy another sling!

Of course YANBU - does your DH think he might catch 'the gay'?

Baby wont care. Passersby in the street may think you have a little girl in there, but that's the worst that will happen. And passersby do not need to know the sex of your baby!

Totally do not understand the pink/blue divide.

Have also had a lot of people asking me if DD is a boy - I just correct them with a smile and that's that. Would do the same for a boy.

I'd attach flowers and sequins on it too

Use it, it's lovely!

I bought DS a floral carseat as I loved the pattern so much, knew he was a boy also knew it really didn't matter especailly as it was a first carseat!

it's you that's wearing it, not the baby!!

I wore a pink sling with ds, dh said he wouldn't wear it , but understood that I wanted to wear something nice. Dh wore the black one when he carried ds.

I have e slings that I use with my DD: 1 rainbow, 1 black & grey, 1 blue. She has yet to complain!
