to have a terrible urge to dress my 6 month baby up as a pumpkin....

[liath]

Should I suppress it?

Dd has a couple of Halloween fancy dress parties to go to and I can't help thinking it would be fun to dress ds up too.

Would you? Is it a bit of fun or too naff to contemplate? Might I scar the poor wee chap for life?

DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate babies in fancy dress and NOT at a fancy dress party.

lol

yes do it ,it is naff ,but so what?

so long as you know it is purely for your own benefit and he will get nothing at all from it

Yep I'd do it too.

It will only scar him if you take pictures and show them to friends - esp girlfriends - in later life.

It is extremely naff. But then so is most of halloween malarky.

It can't be worse than a friend of mine who dresses her two Alaskan Malamuts up every year.

lol my first impressions to the title was 'how sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

I've just bought my DD a pumpkin stretchsuit from Tesco for the mum and tots halloween bash

I'd have done it - my dd was dressed in a santa suit her first Christmas .

I did put her in a pretty dress for the rest of the day - but she'd have been more comfy in the santa suit.

I'm currently making my dd re-use her bat dress for the 4th year in a row (it's aged 4-7 and is only worn for a few days each year). Make the most of pumpkin babies whilst you can!

The older kids will love it too! A friend once dressed her baby as a skeleton with full face paint -- now that's scary! Halloween is naff but fun; enjoy!

• might go for it. It just struck me as one of those "bright" ideas that seem good on Planet Mummy but pretty sad in the real world. LOL at dressing up the alsatians.

lol
I have this urge too
so far I have resisted...

me too me too

No No No - you're making your child look ridiculous and playing into the hands of the supermarkets which seem to have a scarily huge array of naff costumes/accessories for every conceivable occasion.

Not my cup of tea at all, but he is yours to dress as you like. Doubt he'll be scarred for life unless you keep bringing out the photos in his teenage years.

i think its really good to dress up my son was 3 month old at christmas he looked great dressed as santa and all the chidren who came round to our house and family loved it so did we.My son is going to a halloween party and he is going to get dressed up not sure what yet grin

Just added a picture to my profile of ds last year at halloween dressed as a pumpkin
our family from america came over and threw a big party. They bought the costume over for him
