A little experiment, can you identify the sex of a baby when they're wearing neutral clothes?

[memoo]

This is something that fasinates me! I have a 7 month old and I really think without wearing gender typical clothing you would have no idea of my babys sex.

I have put a picture of my baby of my profile, can you guess the sex?

Would be interesting to see others DC too!

I think - possibly - a girl?

Although not sure.

Some children do seem to be easy to identify as boy or girl - my nephew, for example, was very much a boy from the time he was delivered. My own two girls were less obviously girls - even when dressed in bright pink I would still have old dears ask what his name was!

Lovely baby, though, regardless of gender.

If forced to choose I would say girl, but who knows?

My dd has been mistaken for a boy many times.

I thought girl straight away but can't justify why. A real cutie. I love that direct look . It's a sort of " The game is up ! I know what you are doing " look.

My first baby was a girl and I'd take her out in head to toe pink and some old dear would still think she was a boy!

i also think girl. Apologies if a boy

I must say think they are a girl.

I would guess girl but I'm not sure!!!

I can't really tell but I'm going to go with boy.

No one could tell that my dd was a girl until she was about 3!

i say boy, but only because the baby in the pic had the same hair line of my DS when he was born.
a beauty either way though

I won't be offended if your guesses are wrong. I myself think its impossible to tell!

I'd say girl, but can't quite put a finger on why.

girl...

I think girl!

soooooo,,, which one is it?

I can't tell, but your DC is very cute.

Okay tell us now! Watching this thread like a hawk!

I think a girl but not very sure.
It depends on the baby - my ds is eight months and one of the most regular comments I get is "There's no mistaking him for a girl!"

Ok, she is a girl! Intersting that there were definately more people guessing girl than boy.

Tbh I think she looks like a boy!

Yippee, yippee

I think I guessed because of mouth shape - weird I know!

girl - something to do with the ears

I'm guessing girl. You may (or may not) be interested to hear that babies are actually much better at guessing the sex of (neutraly dressed) babies/toddlers than adults are (they haven't learnt to judge by pink & blue yet, so see more of the differences in gait/build apparently)

I guessed girl, but posted too late. I agree with Starberries I think it it the shape of the mouth which is the give away.

I really think my DD 11 months looks like a girl too, but living in Spain and DD not having her ear pierced .....

I think its a girl.

oooh yay I got it right! (note to self, read whole thread before posting)
