To have a weird thing about dressing my newborn in white?

[mylittlepuds]

It's weird. I was the same with DS. The thought of putting her in colours just upsets me. Is this some kind of strange evolutionary affliction? It appears not as my friend's babies are dressed in a veritable array of things - one even in a Batman outfit. Is it just me?

I had a thing about white as well, dd was dressed only in white for several weeks. It was absolutely lovely. However my aunt bought her a beautiful navy blue velvet sleepsuit which I loved, dd was so snuggly in it, and she was a baby in the depths of winter so very appropriate.

I think children are going to be dressed in white for such a short period of time it makes it rather special to have an all white rule for a bit. It is rather old fashioned but very sweet.

I had a load of beautiful hand knitted and crocheted matinee jackets for my dd, I bought them from lovely women from WI stalls in a craft market

I love babies in white, but I especially love watching people squirm try to guess the babies gender without offending, haha I'm easily pleased

DD is in hand knitted matinee jackets Gerrof!! And booties over her white babygrows. I'm sure my friends think it a bit odd that I'm carting her about looking all set for baptism but I love her in them. Just gorgeous. Ahh you should dig out some pictures of your DD in her matinee jackets

Queenbee my DS was mistaken for a girl very regularly.

All my 3 wore little white towelling babygroes for ages. There's nothing like a new baby in a white groe. All DS1 wants to wear these days is bloody football kit . Having said that, I do like babies / small children in black. Obv not head-to-toe goth but DS3 (16 weeks) has a couple of black / black and grey stripey vests that look lovely with his latte coloured skin

I hate plain white it's boring and showed every milk stain.

My favourite one was white with proper cute light brown bears in postal blue baby grows on it. Don't think I had a single plain white one.

My 21.5mo looks adorable in a white sleepsuit, but she takes the buggers off in her sleep so we've made the jump to pyjamas and pretty much every morning we go into her room and say "Morning DD!" and she'll be holding her pyjama bottoms out to us. :o determined to take some form of clothing off but she can't figure out how to get the top off yet

I was the same. Mine wore only white for a good while. Something gorgeous to me about a newborn in white.

I love DS in white, so bloomin gorgeous.

He also has DD's matinee jackets in lemon, uber cute I tell ya!

he is mainly dressed in stripes though n no idea why, most of his baby grows are striped!

I've muttered about this idea before and how it's a bit precious to not use the clothes you are given as gifts. Then DS was born and I got out all the old clothes and discover we own 101 white babygros for 0-6 months. So I couldn't even remember I do this!

This happened to me and also surprised me, I had not bought/been given everything in white so there was lots of washing of his 6 white baby grows, when he was a few weeks black and white stripes became acceptable.
Also cloth nappies, which when pg I had loved all the colours suddenly seemed horrid (not good with a white baby grow).

I was exactly the same. I was given a coloured babygrow and it looked so odd on him, he didn't look like 'my' baby. Even now, at 23 months, I love seeing him in a white babygrow as he looks so young and innocent.

Newborns in white, makes me feel all

See i am the opposite,i dont really like white,its so boring!I am in early pregnancy with number 5 and i really cant wait to buy some teeny baby clothes.white/unisex stuff is so boring.Im not a blue and pink girl either but i have seen some purple russian doll babygrows in mamas and papas i have my eye on for a girl!
