A bow tie for a boy? a gun?

The people who put them on their babies obviously think they make them look really cute. The vast majority of people do not.

We bought a couple of outfits recently that came with matching hairbands. In the bin.

Aw, the little ponytail is cute, Pixie.

Yet another chavilicious 'invention' [boak]. Poor babies, it'll only get worse for them....

biddysmama · 24/05/2010 16:33

they do go nicely with baby hoop earrings tho...

My Dd used to wear a hairclip as a tiny baby, to be fair though she had a huge amount of hair (have uploaded a pic!)

Ds is 20 months and has long hair, he was mistaken for a girl 3 times today, Ok he was wearing a black hair clip (his fringe needs cutting ) but he still looks like a boy and was wearing boys clothes!

Jamieandhismagictorch · 24/05/2010 16:41

What a cute baby izzy. I had a full head of hair like that when I was a baby. Apparently people used to stop and stare in the street

Tidey · 24/05/2010 16:48

That Duggar baby looks like a frickin easter egg.

AliceAyers · 24/05/2010 16:50

I just worry they will get caught around the babies neck...yikes!

biddysmama · 24/05/2010 16:54

whats that duggar called? jo jingles?

Numberfour · 24/05/2010 16:54

hate the bloody things

ThreadKillerQueen · 24/05/2010 16:57

Why do you care? If they feel better and happy putting a headband on their preemie baby then so be it. Each to their own and all.

porcamiseria · 24/05/2010 17:03

agree tkq, its yet another chav bashing thread

ticktockclock · 24/05/2010 17:32

No not bashing anyone just think they look ridiculous, just as triple boob looks ridiculous, or 3 rings on each and every finger looks ridiculous.

izzybiz - OMG what ADORABLE children. I love lots of hair on babies, how cute.

nomorebooze · 24/05/2010 17:40

They are silly end of story!!!!!!!
not aimed anyone inparticular just people in general who put these things on there babies [biscuit}

I like them. Better than loads of frills and bows everywhere!

phoenixflower · 24/05/2010 18:02

Clearly I am in the minority here but I love headbands. They weren't really around as much when my older daughters were little but my youngest DD wore them all the time as a baby. I think they look cute, especially the ones with a flower on. We always got lots of lovely comments on her headbands and asking where we had got them from.It's deffo each to their own but imo YABU as they look cute

Jamieandhismagictorch · 24/05/2010 18:05

but they don't do anything!. And babies are cute in themselves. They don't need accessories (IMVHO)

AngelaCarleen · 24/05/2010 18:06

Of course YANBU, you don't have to like them, but I think my (very bald) 4 month old DD looks very cute in hers

nomorebooze · 24/05/2010 18:07
