to just want some reasonably priced unisex babygros

[allthefires]

Prob being very unreasonable to post on AIBU but hey its a sunday and quiet.......

I dont want white- got enough of those from first time round and DP wants this baby to have some clothes of its own at first so Im not buying white again when I have some already! (not same dad, can understand why, says he would feel the same even if second baby together)
The creams and beiges are just a little bland.

I just cant find anything thats reasonably priced - by which I mean £12ish for pack of 3. I did get a pack in M&S which were yellow/spotty/striped but that its.

John Lewis Unisex look a little boyish to me.
Mothercare are rubbish

Inspire me please!

We had some lovely stuff from here when DS was small : www.newfamilyshop.com/ssl/shopdisplaycategories.asp

Sleepsuits start from £1.59, I loved the purples and blues on him.

I would also recommend having a look at Next, I bought some nice and bright unisex vest's last week.

Why can't a baby wear any colour

Im not that keen on mass blue or pink whatever the sex.

We used to buy white and tie dye them, Dd2 and 3 had all sorts of funky colours and designs.

Because of societal norms and cultural expectations- and I have enough battles in my life to make it even more difficult by putting a boy in pink!

As it is this baby will be using some of ds clothes because I just don't care what colour it wears in public

Oops meant when asleep!

Thanks lockets they were also recommended upthread. DP not keen on the grey though. Does it look better than on screen. I like them.

A link to what I bought:

The picture doesnt really show them off, I think they do some similar babygros for about £12 for 3.

opps.

Thank you- we like those too in the sleepsuit.

Think I may sign up for a next directory- they do have some lovely things. By the time I pay for parking and petrol I may as well order online.

There are alot of romper suits that are lovely but baby due early nov and whilst you can put socks/cardi on with them it is a bit if a faff!

The newfamily website does some nice colours too.

If this baby is a girl I still don't want to go down the pink route especially as I'm hoping for dc3 in future!

Get thyself into John Lewis. There's a bigger range in shop vs online, and the unisex are NOT boyish - there's a gorgeous series ATM with woodland animals for instance that's v. Sweet.

Also a big bibaloo sale on right now that might have what you're looking for.

You can also dye your old White onesies etc fun colours to give them a new lease of life.

Oh lockets so cute! I have to get them now. Your baby is scrummy.

John Lewis is a good 3 hour drive away-will look again online. Just ordered a lovely red star blanket whilst looking for sleepsuits.

I think you get what you pay for £12 for M&S ones is money well spent on new born skin.

Oh, where did you get your red star blanket allthefires?

I bought some great multipacks from Mothercare recently. I think the slleepsuits are more like 16 pounds for 3 but that was age 12-18 months so newborn may be cheaper.

They've got lots of unisex patterns, stripes, animals, spots, apples - all sorts.

H&M is brilliant for baby clothes generally, and they also sell lovely (often organic cotton) bodysuits/vests in lots of different primary colours, cheap as chips!

It sums up my taste perfectly.

What I have learnt from DS is a few good quality things are better than load of run of the mill stuff. This time round whilst we arent well off I can afford to buy some nice things as i am willing to reuse other things.

How many sleepsuits do you all reckon? Just for early days- hospital bag and home. We have ones left over from DS - this is just to please DP afterall!

I have the 3 from M&S and am definately buying the 3pk that bagelmonkey and lockets suggested. Do i need another 3? Amazing how time erases the memory from first borns first days!

allthefires You (and I) have imppecable taste! If I were you I'd check out H&M.

DS is nearly and I am 24 pg with DC2 - I can;t remember a thing about how many baby grows etc we need either!

Thank you. Will take the train to local H&M and bribe DS with a trip on the big wheel. Am only 22 weeks but want to get shopping done as already finding it difficult to walk at the moment.

dd2 is 6 weeks and I have about 10. I do at least 2 costume changes at crap o'clock, and about 4 - 5 throughout the day.
