was in shop, woman in shop asked opinion on a gift for a new baby (not yet born) - was a body suit - dead cute, white with angel in silver on front I said is it 100% cotton and can you wash it on hot? I said it's lovely

I looked at the black it had wings - extra fabric, pleated wings you could feel - I suggested that if this was first child it would not be appropriate as baby's spend a lot of time on their back and no new mother would lay a baby down on something lumpy like that - lovely and cute though it was

I suggested that a new baby to a first-time parent it might not be the most appropriate

she thanked me and bought it anyway Grin

was I right?

i don;'t think there is a right or wrong tbh...

you wouldn't do it, other people would.. am sure the baby won't really care either way!

Sounds to me like the kind of suit you'd dress a baby who'd passed on in? :(

no you were right, i never put mine in anything with stuff on the back as i felt it would be uncomfortable, all those babygrows that do up at the back?!! WHY?!! and little cardigans etc that all have hoods, again WHY?

They might put it on for a photo........blerdy facebook generation! Grin

Sounds like a photo outfit only. I think you were right tbh.

I think sometimes you buy things just for the photo, and that's not such an awful thing.

If it was all properly padded over on the inside I wouldn't've thought would be too uncomfortable anyway.

sounds bloody horrible and tacky tbh
