I love animal prints,my son has leopard print babygrows,zebra snowsuits,cow print hats etc.

I would wear it constantly but i cant carry it off,i just end up looking like kat slater.

FIL smirked and said "you cant put him in that hes a boy!"-he was wearing leopard print sleepsuit. (baby not FIL!)

I mean,come on everyone knows leopard print is a neutral! Smile

I put DD in a zebra print baby grow and everyone thought she was a boy. Her leopard print one was trimmed with pink so only a few people mistook her for a boy in that one Hmm

YANBU, my soon to be born baby boy has some lovely zebra vests and even a flowery romper suit or 3

Have you bought FIL's christmas gift yet? I have an adult onsie in zebra print, could be a nice gift for him.

eh, when DS#1 was tiny we had a friend whos baby daughter had a SCREAMING (and then some) neon pink knitted all-in-one that her mother had knitted for her granddaughter. The baby still got called 'he' at times.

I dressed my newborn in a yellowy apricot all in one and got told by a perfect stranger that I shouldn't dress my boy in that and it was my fault she called him a 'he'.

Whatevah.

Dress him in what makes you happy and ignore the comments. Your son won't care until he is an older toddler at the earliest.

I think it sounds fine, and cute.

EIizaDay · 02/12/2012 23:48

It's awful - as is putting those hats on with animal ears on children.

I always put DS in leopard print as a baby. Best thing is my dad pretty much bought it all Grin

WilsonFrickett · 03/12/2012 00:08
