DH having a go at me for dressing DD in babygros

[TopBoi]

DD is 8 months old. Some days I take her out in babygros (nice ones and they're clean) especially days if I think it's a bit cooler as she always pulls her socks off and I think all in one suits are cosier for her.

I sent him a picture of us in the park today and she is in an all in one suit. He said to me "why is she in her pyjamas? Were you really struggling today?" It's really irritated me. I've told him all the reasons I've said here but he says it's the same as me leaving the house in my pyjamas. He's implying I can't dress her properly. AIBU?

Tell him from MN he is being a TWAT.

My 3 never left the house in anything else until about 8 months old.

Babies don't do anything and comfort is more important than style... I assume he's mortified in case you bump into someone you know.

Put him back in his box pronto. As for the "are you really struggling" comment..... CF! Has he now decided he is officially the world expert on babies fashion?

By today's low standards of pj's etc YANBU...

I'm not an expert but that's b*llox IMO- babygros are for babies to wear whenever x

YANBU !!!

I never dressed any of our new borns in "proper" clothes till they were at least 3 months old! I was always super worried about fabrics being rough or outfits being uncomfortable on their delicate skin. Onesies are perfectly fine for a new baby! Not going to lie - our latest addition is 7 months old and I still sometimes do the school run with him in his pram in a onesie. You do what you want - your the one looking after DD!

My kids were in baby grows until about year. They were super comfy and able to move easily. I used to feel a bit sorry for 6 month olds in jeans!

I do see baby grows as an indoor item tbh. I stopped buying them when ds was 6 months old

He’s stupid. My baby’s all lived in baby grows for the first year. I did dress them in other clothes sometimes but they always look so uncomfortable!

I haven't rtft but agree babies should be comfy and baby is are perfect. I dont think I did actually dress mine in babygros during the day though, I had lots of velour trousers with feet. They didnt get socks till they got shoes.

During cold weather I used to have mine in a babygro and a dress over the top so it was like she had thick tights on. She was lovely and warm and I couldn’t care less what others said, babygro’s are multi purpose as far as I’m concerned. You’ve done nothing wrong

I’m not a fan of babygros in the day. Makes me think the parent couldn’t be bothered dressing the baby. I always dressed my son in proper clothes during the day. Each to their own though.

They are the most practical thing to put a baby that age in and comfiest for her- easiest too for crawling if he’s a fan of her learning to do that . Would he prefer she was petrified in ruffles she bows?

Babygros until they were walking. Agree with previous poster about another way for retailers to think we need more crap

Petrified in Ruffles and bows?

Yes Itsnearly - I couldn't be bothered to dress either of my two in proper cloted during the day. Life's too short

The ruffles and bows petrify me.

couldn't be bothered to spell clothes right either ....

I don’t think it’s good that he’s suggesting you’re struggling.

I hate babygrows. All those annoying snaps. I actually don’t find them that practical apart from for newborns. Once they can hold there head up so that you can pull things on there are much easier clothes to get on and off. There are also plenty of comfortable baby clothes.

I also think it is good for babies beyond about 3 months to have a different day and night clothes. Yes babies aren’t the best at telling the difference between night and day, but it is up to us to teach them. Getting them dressed into day clothes in the morning for me is all part of that.

All that said op I think your DH was extremely patronising. It is up to you as the person taking care of your Dd to choose what you dress her in. So long as it’s not inappropriate for the weather it’s nobody else’s business. Your DH can choose what she wears when he is the one getting her dressed.

I've never thought of babygros as pjs. to me they were always just something a baby wears.

So you put a newborn in an outfit rather than comfortable baby grows ?

Both of my children lived in babygrows until they were 2.

Babygrows are the warmest and most comfortable clothes for children's developing bodies.

Your partner is a fool ..

My dc were in baby grows all the time until they could crawl. So much more comfy for baby, and easy to change for parent/carer.

Same problem in my house except my wife is the one who insists on her getting in to an outfit each day.

Really winds her up when she finds out after been in a onesie all day, especially if we've been to a class.

I feel the name is apt for the term of clothing. Worn by a baby while they grow..

People dressing a baby in full normal clothew insinuating a baby grow is not appropriate clothing..I honestly wonder what kind of life you lead. I can't imagine anyone being so uptight!

Your husband is being a dick - I’d have just sent a few laughing emojis back
