This totally acceptable for a baby boy?

[ooohsummer]

DS is nearly 6 months. I pick most of his clothes but DP likes to have a say too...

We like lots of different styles, agree on most clothes. But recently bought this from M&S as thought it looked cute for summer holidays, but DP refuses to put him in it. Says it's too frilly.

Surely not.

Thoughts?

I like it and would have put both DSs in it.

In fact, I once did use an old (pink) babygrow of DDs on DS and my mother was horrified.

She actually said "But what if he turns out homosexual?" (She wouldn't use the word "gay" as she considered it meant "happy" and "cheerful." You get the drift.

She was right through. That babygrow made DD "gay."

That's lovely and quite unisex I think. If your DH wants it to be more 'boy' you could put a baby blue short sleeved best underneath and some gorgeous little blue buckle shoes

And no, my mother wouldn't have liked having the word "lesbian" bandied about, either.

I’d put my boy in that. It’s cute.

I'd put a boy in that. Nice and cool for the warm weather.

What does your DP think will happen if your DS wears that? Is he worried that the extra bit of material will make his penis fall off?

Bit on the fence about this one.

It is lovely but not sure it's right in either colour or design for a boy.

He will be the only gay in the village...

@cantfindname what colours acceptable for a boy?

I think it's OK but I'm fairly broad minded

This made me properly laugh out loud. As if you'd suggested putting him in babygro decorated with satanic images rather than a completely inoffensive stripy one.

Blue, obvs, with trucks, dinosaurs or pirates. Haven't you been to ANY of the Gender Stereotyping 101 classes recently?

Absolutely not. Even a whiff of yellow rather than manly blue will cause your child to sprout a rash of foofs across his entire body, AND it's highly infectious.

On a less sarky note... I didn't even spot the 'frill'!

Blue/green/brown all acceptable. Preferably with rockets, diggers or dinosaurs.

It's adorable! Your DH is a knob.

Clothes are clothes - it’s lovely.

It’s just a classic design aimed at either sex of baby. Your husband is being a dick.

And don't forget the slogans that say 'trouble maker' 'up to no good' etc too. Can't forget those.

You need a top that says

I LUV DIRT N NOISE

MUMMYS IKKLE SHITBAG

AM GONNA B A HEARTBREAKER

CARZ CARZ CARZ

Any of those on a solid blue would be fine for a boy.

I think it’s lovely and I’d definitely consider it ‘unisex’ but nothing is really off limits to me .

It’s fine, you could pair with red shoes or a hat

Looks alright to me. I'd have put my boys in it

It's cute, no reason why not to.

You'd like Vert Baudet op :) loads similar, less frilly.

It's nice. Think it will look great in the summer outside.

I think my accreditation has lapsed; I can't see anything wrong with this at all.

Op, what's your DH afraid of? You've got years of tedium fun ahead of you if he's going to be like this about a babygro. Think of all the prohibited sports and activities ahead. What if DS loves gymnastics or crochet or wants a baby doll to care for? Or decides to become a nurse?

What else is he going to ban based on nonsense/casual homophobia? He needs to get over himself and let his child just be.
