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'm with your DH on this one.

I wouldn't buy it for a baby boy and if I received it as a gift for my DS, I wouldn't put it on him.

So..YHINBU =
your husband is not being unreasonable

The frill implies it's for a girl

I wouldn’t buy it

If we owned it already, I’d put DS in it on the rare day it’s warm enough& cloths I preferred were all in the wash, but I wouldn't care if DH didn’t

I wouldn’t be any more keen to put a DD in it though. I just don’t really like it for either A boy or a girl.

Clothes even damn phone!

The frill implies it's for a girl
Do people really think this way? How ridiculous.

Of course it’s fine. I’m amazed anyone could think otherwise.

He's a baby, who cares. In the past little boys used to have long hair and petticoats, and nobody cared. Let's hope your little one doesn't grow up doing something terrible like wanting to do dance or liking the colour pink as a result.

The child will cope. He will literally be fine. The only upset he might receive from this is that which is transferred onto him by yourself or your partner. clothes. don't. have. gender.

The frill implies it's for a girl
The frill implies it's a frill. The frill implies it's for a baby. The frill implies NOTHING. Other than the in-house design team at some stage looked at the drawings and thought "a frill here uses up fabric offcuts so it's a cheap zhoozh".

I love it, OP!

I cannot believe people are saying it’s the Wong colour for a boy 🙄😫 good god. Get a grip, or can are ‘little men’ this boy wear blue grey and brown?

It's fine. At 6 months my son wore his sisters hand me down rompers and baby grows the majority of the time.

it’s not my choice for either sex, sorry. But, if I wanted to dress a baby in it I would, DH wouldn’t stop me. Equally he would say, I’m not taking my son out dressed in frills.

It would be worn on a mum and son day.

Only it wouldn’t on this occasion because it’s fugly.

I doubt the frill will matter much to DS. Put him in it, it looks light and comfortable. That's what he'll be needing in this weather.

1. Is it clean
2. Does it fit
3. Is it comfy

It looks unisex to me. Wouldn't bat an eye at a boy in that.

Also, he's a baby, so who cares? He don't even remember what he wore at this age

*won't

Your DH would have a breakdown if he saw what I deem clothing for boys. Spanish baby wear is generally all I buy. And yes that includes knee high socks and a frill/peter pan collar.

I don’t know anyone in RL who consciously dresses their child in clothes for the opposite sex.

Well apart from me (I'm in MY RL) I know a load of parents who will happily buy from the "other" section. Some as a matter of course and some apologetically ("you can hardly tell", "she said she liked it" "he likes Peppa more than George").

OMG frills! Some people are ridiculous.

It is a tiny frill. It maybe harks back to Andy Pandy, but I always assumed Andy Pandy was male.

I would be very surprised if most people throw all their baby clothes out because they are for the wrong sex. Most people apply some sense and don't buy into marketing hype that you must have a completely new wardrobe for a new child if they are a different sex to your last one. Of course you will have lots of appropriate clothing and this would be fine.

I'd say the second one is more girly but I'd put both on my ds. In fact he often wears girls rompers and legging because the fit is slimmer and therefore they fit my tall lanky son.

I had to look twice before I noticed the grill. I like it a lot and would have no problem with a boy wearing it

Frill not grill

It's in neither the unisex or the boys category on the M&S website. How did you come across the romper?

If you can take the unbearable agony of someone possibly thinking he's a girl because of a small bit of fabric, it's fine.

It's a very cute romper.
