AIBU?

to have picked the 'Little Lady' badge off the front of my daughter's sleepsuit?

She's 7 weeks old, she's a baby not a 'little lady'. There'll be enough expectations about 'ladylike' behaviour once she grows up a bit.

Apart from anything they have halved their potential market with this badge, because the sleepsuit colours are blue, brown and red which seems to be deemed appropriate for boys too.

I think "little lady" is not too bad...my 4 week old daughter is currently wearing a green sleep suit with "good boy" on the front. I bought it before she was born and because we didn't know if she was a boy or girl I bought the only pack of suits which wasn't pink or blue but I didn't realise they were also boys ones! Oops!

Jesus, stop patronising the OP. She didn't say she had nothing else to worry about. YANBU.

I am not sure if I think yabu, I hate clothing with naff slogans on such as little lady, daddy's princess or mummy's charmer but I do have some hand-me-downs which have wording on. We were given loads of "girls" clothes whilst I was pregnant and DS is at the moment sleeping in a "Daddy's little princess" babygrow. I think I would be more bothered if we had a girl.

I don't think I would go to the trouble of altering a babygrow, we just put the naff ones at the bottom of the pile and only use them once the plain ones are all in the wash.

I'm not a fan of clothes like that but if given them would have used them when everything else was in the wash

Miaow, how do you know that the sleepsuit did not belong to little bear? [bugrin]

Fairy wings, wellies and an iron man t shirt sounds a nice combination and I would dress her in that, or the 'good boy' sleepsuit, or anything that claimed she ate puppies.

'You wish' sleepsuit - awful. I would throw that out even though we don't have that many clothes for her.

To be honest - babies of that age puke and poop so much all over their clothes that whatever I dress my dd in, she has to be changed soon afterwards anyway!

By the way with the "good boy" suit for a girl - I put her in it when the health visitor made her first visit, it was hilarious watching her try to work out whether I was extremely laid-back or a bit of a loon!
