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 would have dressed a girl or a boy in this, I can't see anything remotely 'girly' about it, and if I was looking at a baby wearing it I wouldn't assume that baby was a girl.

There is no right or wrong answer. It is a more traditionally “girly” outfit. The only question is how much you care.

Haha thanks for the feedback...

I'm no closer to knowing whether to dress him in it but at least I've had a good laugh!

It’s fine for any baby.

Oh, we are not Spanish! But do love Zara haha.

DP is fine with a pink/coral striped all in one from H&M, he regularly wears pink shirts himself so can't really say anything 🤷‍♀️

Seems it's the offending FRILL that is causing the problem.

I should also add I bought this too. Seems light and loose good for holidays - DP is fine with this.

I should add I do not work for M&S.

I have issues with it, bit only that a 6 month old in cream is a nightmare in the waiting.

I wouldn't put my DD in it because it wouldn't stay clean.

It's fine for any baby if you are happy for random stains.

Wait until your son wants to wear unicorn t-shirts.

I like it. There is really no issue either DD regularly wears unisex things that might be seen as more "boyish", when passers by say "Aww, he is cute" I just say thanks and then carry on with my day.

the odd floral romper!

If grown men can wear floral shirts and frilly dress shirts then I really don’t see why a baby boy can’t wear a romper with a tiny frill on it.

I'd dress a baby boy in that. Your DP can choose DS's clothes on the days he dresses him, fair's fair.

Meh. I buy leggings from the girls'section in H&M for toddler DS1 as I prefer easy to pull on trousers for him and hate putting him in jeans or courdroy trousers as they are a pain to get on.

Dear Lord
He might turn gay!
Or worse- non binary!!!!!
Replace it with a dark t shirt with the slogan "death to all"
And give him a toy gun to play with to ward off gayness.

For a wedding or other formal occasion I would dress a boy in that (I'd prefer that to a bow tie on a baby!)
My DDs had a lovely beige dungeree set with Tigger on it .. from the boys section.

I wouldn’t put my DS in it. It’s frilly and girly.

It's super cute but I'm not sure about putting a boy in it

But at the end of the day it's your baby dress him in whatever you want!

I like it, I'd put a DS in it for a special occassion or if I wanted him to be a bit smart for photos.

Boys christening rompers are sometimes a bit frilly/flouncy but they are still 'for boys'

Mega cute.

YANBU op

How is it girly?!?!

It's a bit unusual for a frill on a presumably boys romper but I wouldn't worry about it. You could always cut it off if he were that bothered.

But I used to dress DS in sailor suits and old fashioned rompers and smocked rompers

I think it’s lovely OP. I didn’t even notice the frill until someone pointed it out. Can’t really go wrong with yellow and white surely?

I don’t like it, but not because of the frill. I just don’t like it. I wouldn’t put either sex baby in it.

I had to really go looking for that frill! It’s absolutely fine.

I think its just the style

I would be more than happy for s not to wear something like this
