To think a baby should never wear...

[Midori1999]

A purple faux fur coat?

Which is exactly what my DH has just brought back from Asda for our 3 month old daughter.

musttidyup that is splendidly hideous.

You need some kind of award. Just awful.

lovingthecoast how is your newborn going to get good enough at lacrosse to not embarrass themselves in the school playground lacrosse games if you won't let them have a pair of lacrosse trainers?

You're setting them up for a life of struggle there!

After I corrected my typo I did wonder whether we may have kept Lacrosse footwear, even for a newborn. But white Lacoste trainers? I wouldn't have minded had they been bought by a stranger but they were actually bought by the woman we had asked to be his Godmother. DH still says stuff like, 'Best not get ourselves killed otherwise DS1 will have M dressing him!'

DP doesn't get DS dressed any more. He says that I give him a "look" and sigh every time he does!

Oh I never let DH dress the DCs. I learned my lesson when DS1 was a baby- he looked like he'd fallen into a jumble sale. He just has no idea what goes with what. I'm not there to dress them I lay out their clothes for him. I am pretty anal though.

The thing is, I don't even care that much - but he manages to find the most bizarre combinations of clothing, including stuff which is massively out of season or outgrown.

Headbands especially those with a flower on.

They don't make your baby look cute - they make it look slightly grotesque.

I've seen that in Asda, no good for a baby...especially a dribbly one. Eurgh I can just imagine if my DD was in it, drowned rat comes to mind.

football strip especially a stripey one - utterly utterly pikey, even on the Beckham brood. Do you think Harper Seven will be wearing one any time soon?
