to think style threads for little babies are a bit weird?

Mine lived in babygrows...

yanbu pfb syndrome

YAdefNBU

i went to one of my first postnatal groups with my now 4 year old Ds in a babygrow where all the other babies were togged up to high heaven.

I didnt know they existed. It makes me feel a bit queasy.

not PFB ... my dd is DC3 and I started one

YANBU.

DD was a babygrow baby. I like babygrows and cardigans - makes them look like, well, like sausages babies.

I lurrve cute baby clothes but IMO its utterly pointless to dress a baby up when its still all squashy. You cant see what they are wearing and the clothes simply dont hang properly my dears

I do like to dress my kids in a certain way because it makes me smile but never buy anything expensive EVER.

Whats pfb ?

I was going to say it's a pfb thing - but DC1 was in babygros for ages. I don't understand why anyone would want to stick their baby in anything other than a babygro - all they do is grow out of them/puke. My hairdresser on the other hand only put her DC1 in designer gear. Luuuuuuvley.

al a bit creepy i think. it reminds me of the child models in american pageant show things. jonbenet ramsay etc

che - precious first born - pfb

Where? How can I judge properly without evidence?

Who cares?

I like buying my girls nice things to wear. I am well aware that some people choose differently - that's fine. Provided they aren't stealing to fund a baby dior habit - then is it worth getting het up over?

I remember seeing a very new baby (prob a few weeks at most) dressed in brand new jeans and trainers at baby clinic once. Poor little mite looked so uncomfortable. I was very judgy at the time with my pfb DD in lovely soft white babygros and cardis...

My pfb is 14 mths and has worn a babygro today to go swimming and tootle around the shops! I didnt realise there was an age limit for them!!

YABU, it's really not worth getting worked up about. I love shopping for baby clothes and putting outfits together. I even love nice patterns on nappies - dressing/changing a baby is one of the more mundane things you do with them - so why not brighten it up? It makes me smile.

I agree designer clothes for babies are pointless though! I would never spend over an absolute maximum of £10 on an item of baby clothing - and before anyone says £10 is ridiculous, I get most of DS' stuff handed down or on ebay. I might buy one or two things new each time he goes up a size depending on what gaps I have. But I don't overbuy like some people - he has a small enough wardrobe to get wear out of everything in it.

Have just spent an hour or so sorting out his outgrown/next size clothes actually and really enjoyed it

Hmm and ok he is my pfb - but I don't expect to be any different with the next one as I sort his outgrown clothes into love and don't love - so I still have some shopping mileage for next time!

at newborns in uncomfy looking jeans and trainers though.

Well i wouldn't start a style thread but i do dress my babies in clothes as opposed to babygrows.

Not jeans/shoes on a teeny baby but i think a little dress looks sweet on a little girl or little dungarees on a baby boy.

Am pregnant with dc3 (my first girl) and very much looking forward to having a doll baby girl to dress.

My DS went out in his Pyjamas today - having spent all day in them, and no I am not a slob, he was ill all night and wanted to go and feed the ducks, so I slung a jumper over his plain navy PJ bottoms and it looked ok!

I always dressed both DC in babygros for their first six months, but picked pretty ones for the day and plain ones for sleeping in, all soft and cuddly - they are not babies for long!!

I liked to dress both of mine in 'day' clothes even when they were very little. I'd dress them in leggings and t-shirts but something different than baby grows which I see as the equivalent of pajamas tbh.

I've never seen babies dressed in babygrows at toddler groups either.

As for jeans, my ds had a gorgeous pair of really soft ones that he wore when he was around 5 months.

I wouldn't say you are BU though - each to their own

what age should they stop wearing babygro's ? I love little babies in babygro's but think they look like sleepwear on babies over about 6 months

Both my DCs were pretty much exclusvely in babygros until they were about 6 months old (and continued to wear them fairly frequently thereafter).

So what about style threads for babygros? Aw!

But the babygros on that link were £32

A tshirt and leggings for a baby would be half that - or less! What is really different between spending a fortune on babygros and a fortune on clothes - designer babygros are just as bad IMHO (in fact perhaps a little worse actually!)

Well, I should admit that I've never spent more than about a fiver on a babygro, but I would be sorely tempted to get summat like this for a special occasion.

Yes but what about these?

Mind you I could be talked round for this

ok so babygros seem to be a no-no over 6 months, what about rompers?

here?
