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?

Looks fine. DS is currently sporting his older sisters knickers over his vest and under his clothes as he won't keep his hands out his nappy and away from his shite.

I didn't spot the frill, I think it's fine. Although I've been criticised for putting DS in these....

How did you come across the romper?
Illegal searching in the girls' section I imagine.
The gender police will be straight round.

One way route to being gay, those. Do not pass Go.

I love it. DS lived in white baby grows until he was 12 months. He had blond curly hair and much to my DM's horror he had a red pram ( why not blue ? That's a boy's colour haha ) . He often got mistaken for a girl! Who cares!

It's in neither the unisex or the boys category on the M&S website. How did you come across the romper?
Searching the word "romper", I imagine.

Its totally fine for a boy.

You think clothing determines if someone is gay or not?? Ridiculous
You also make it sound like being gay is wrong...
@drspouse

Agree with your DH

I rarely speak for others but am 100% convinced the comment was meant tongue-in-cheek.

The romper is fine, dress your child however you want. They'll grow up fine because clothes just are solely to cover your junk, that's the only role they have.

I wouldn't put my son in it, but then I wouldn't put my daughter in it either, because I don't like it at all. But if you're happy then go for it

It's fine! He's a baby!

My favourite onesie for DS was pink with cats on.

@Whisky2014, I am 99% certain that @drspouse was joking.

I think it’s fine and very cute, but then my son wore white tops with a glitter thread around the neckline because I refused to buy new white tops when dd’s were perfectly serviceable still. He also had vests with butterflies on under his sleepsuits. He does (aged 4) quite enjoy dressing up in his sister’s old “Anna dress” so it’s clearly led him down a dark path.

Yet it didn’t stop me dressing my smallest dd in a blue romper yesterday. It did have some tiny flowers on though so maybe she’ll be ok.

It’s lovely and fine for a boy.
Once I took my son as a newborn for his pics doing. He had on a blue outfit and on his feet he had on white socks with a frill around . Photographer made a big fuss and took them of his feet before taking any pics😂 I also put him in girly baby gros my friend had passed on to me. When my daughter was born she wore a lot of his stuff. What does it matter really.

Sorry for not adding subtitles for the hard of humour there!

He needs a t shirt over the top that says “lads lads lads”

He might catch the gays otherwise.

Frills are a gateway embellishment. Next it will be Pom poms and then you’re ducked.

Can you laminate a card saying "No photographs" and put it next to him when he is wearing it, just in case some random friend, enemy, relative or stranger takes a photo of a cute baby and then shamefully misgenders him..........

I think it's a dear little outfit btw, and fine for either sex.

I think it's really sweet. I would put a boy or a girl in it. Perfect for this hot weather.

Surely the bigger issue is, why your DP is n’t allowed an opinion on what hisvso should wear.

I figured that's how she could have found it but was also secretly getting at how some mums secretly wish their sons where daughters and vice versa. of course that's something most wouldn't admit to in public. She could have also been browsing the girls category and came across it.

There's more romper designs for girls on M&S than there is for boys.

It's not even like it's covered in frills, I had to look hard to find it! It's fine.

Now I've established that the front buttons are only decorative rather than functional and it has poppers in the crotch, I think it's eminently suitable for any baby. It's also cute as buttons. YANBU, YPIBU.

Yep, this is definitely why she bought it. She wishes she didn't have a son . No way she could have found it while browsing in a bricks and mortar store, or by putting 'romper' in the search bar.

@ladycarlotta it's a discussion, your views don't trump anyones either. I said that's how she could've found it by typing in 'romper' but was digging at other feasible options.

It's very cute and who cares really, he's going to crap all over it. But that is for sure a frill.
