Plain white baby clothes

[LMH20]

Ok so call me Boring if you like but i love the color white i think its easy to wash no worrying about colors running or decals fading or coming off etc etc BUT i was wondering if there is any one else out there like me who thinks the same it seems if i dress my my child in all white babygro's for the first 12 months or until walking age then i might seem a tad weird lol also i think babies should'nt be dressed in bright colours and weird outfits anyway its kinda like turning them into an accessory when i see babies in bright clothes and those annoying cloth shoes (which are so pointless) i just think well why dont you just put a couple of handles on your baby and tote them around like a handbag may aswell lol am i the only one who thinks this way babies just look so cute and scrummy by themselves they dont need anything else to make them cute IMO......discuss

Squizita I agree but she needs to find out and realise that unless you're preparedto pay for it you can't just demand to see no midwives and be entirely dr led. (unless she is in another country but refs to NHS suggest not).

[CheerfulYank]

Well. On the chance this is genuine:

No yanbu to dress your child exclusively in white babygros as this is what you like.

Yes yabu to judge others for doing something different.

Where I live, babygros are pajamas. People would wonder why a baby (besides a very newborn baby) was wearing one in the day time. And I have never in my life seen a baby wearing a cardigan over one!

DD is 9 months and wears leggings, bodysuits, and cardigans in a variety of colors.

OP it's a bit ironic that you say you live a simplistic lifestyle...

If you take nothing else from this thread, please take the point from a number of posters and don't put bleach near your baby. The chlorine damages their lungs.

[squizita]

Yangsun I strongly suspect, as I mentioned earlier, OP has no idea what an obstetrician is. Because you don't when you're very young. Hence her "GP" as shorthand for "doctor", and claims to be a "secratary" [her spelling] with teenage phrasing and her inability to punctuate. And the lifestyle she claims to have aged 20 (or older when this was queried) which doesn't seem to match with the socio-economical realities of most 20 year olds bar Made In Chelsea... they're all what teenagers think being a grown up is.

She'll google it and come back with a 'reason' she shares with her 'DP'. Then sneer. Like that weird little episode with her age.

Alternatively, she is indeed older and a fantasist.

Diege, BFP two days ago apparently.

You have attracted nasty or worried comments because some of your posts make you appear irrational.

It is just not rational to call the entire working staff of the NHS staff 'crummy' or 'low rent'. Mistakes can happen and perhaps you have suffered as a result and feel bitter about the NHS, but this still doesn't make it rational to right off the entire of the NHS, after all many staff work for both the NHS and also do private hospital work.

You get good at something when you specialise in it and do it a lot, midwifes study their specialty and see a lot of births, that is what makes them competent and this is why I would rather have my rather amazing (NHS) midwife who I have know for my last 2 births than my General Practitioner (GP).

Perhaps you think MN is a bit of a joke and it doesn't matter what you write? That's up to you, but you will miss out of lots of advice and support, that doesn't matter for you right now as it's all really easy at the moment, you have just fallen pg and you can laugh at how silly you think we all sound.

Later on your DC's will do things that will fox you completely, asking on MN could provide you will a solution...but NOT if you come on and alienate a whole swathe of people...the same goes for real life.

That lady with the expensive nappy bag and the baby that she has named Lily-Mae, who she has dressed in a tu tu and bought a top of the range Bugaboo for might have just the answer that might solve your problem...but she won't give you the answer if you tell everyone in your posts how people who buy Bugaboos do so just to keep up with the jones, and if she is a midwife or a nurse she definitely won't tell you!

FWIW a lot of parents choose the items that they buy on the basis of how comfortable it will be for their baby and how easy the item is to use not for how they will look to other people...personally imposing clothes that have been near bleach on a baby (even if you have rinsed them several extra times) and wrapping them up with two terry squares is all about what you want and not about what you baby might want.

My daughter used to wear a tu tu when we went out, she wanted to dress like a favorite character, she wore the tu tu until it was nearly in shreds when (thankfully) she out grew it. I let her wear it because there no point fighting over such a small issue with your 2 year old and mostly because it made her happy!

Has OP actually said she's pregnant yet? Had sort of assumed but reading back can't see that that's the case?

[allisgood1]

There's no way OP is pregnant. She is just a little teenage girl having some fun winding everyone up. I bet if we all stop posting and giving her attention she will implicate herself further may actually slink off somewhere else...or actually get a life!

[yangsun]

Op have you actually told your gp you're expecting him/her to deliver your baby (since by the dates of your other threads when you were ttc you have only been pregnant 2 weeks max). In the unlikely event of your gp agreeing, where are you planning on having your baby? Will you ring up at 8.30 to ask for an appointment and pop in to have it in a 10 minute slot? Gps generally only do home visits if you are housebound.

If you really want a doctor to deliver your baby you need an obstetrician and you will probably have to pay privately if other factors don't indicate you should be consultant led. Seriously discuss your midwife phobia early on so you can understand the alternatives rather than assuming someone will do something that isn't their job.

[betman]

Have you really thought through the gp thing? I mean done your research (and ask your doctor?) Calling Midwives 'crummy Nhs staff' is offensive. Can I please ask what you base your opinion on midwives on?

[GuybrushThreepwoodMP]

Buy I will say that I think some threads can be a compelling argument in favour of not allowing some people to procreate.

[GuybrushThreepwoodMP]

Oh. I replied to this before I saw the ridiculous and offensive comments by the OP. So I have reported.
Personal attacks aren't allowed so I am not going to address the OP again.

[fod27]

Oooo Aoife you bloody tell her!!!!

[Cariad007]

Have you ever actually been treated by NHS staff (apart from your GP) OP? Or are you just going by what the Daily Mail has to say about the NHS? Because I have never met a midwife with her "uniform halfway up her arse and reeking of Beyoncé perfume." Do yourself and your child a favour and grow TF up.

[mumbaisapphirebluespruce]

Start another thread OP, go on please.

[mumbaisapphirebluespruce]

Erm ..... I think GPs work for the NHS.....therefore they are NHS staff too.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

Hear hear!

[Aoifebelle]

Well let's hope your pregnancy and your birth are as perfect as your hermetically sealed house, otherwise you will be ending up in the 'crummy hands of the nhs', and if, like me, your pregnancies have not been perfect, you will be bloody grateful for the care you get. Or maybe not, if you are genuine and don't have mental health issues, you don't come across as someone who spends much time counting your blessings or being grateful - too busy criticising others and steam cleaning your floor.

[LMH20]

So im crazy because i live a simplistic minimalist lifestyle and dont live in a pigsty ?? ok then and my GP delivered me and my siblings he is amazing not like crummy NHS staff

[perfectstorm]

Oh, they're t-word deletions? Sorry, didn't realise (and my own will doubtless disappear, in that case). I've just seen threads before where someone may or may not be a bit unwell, and people have basically laughed at them, and it always makes me wince a bit in case it's genuine and the poster is really quite troubled.

[ThursdayLast]

I used the T word and got deleted.
What I meant was,
This thread must be a wind up

[perfectstorm]

Either she's on the windup, in which case feeding it won't do anything constructive, or she genuinely has serious issues, in which case I don't think personal attacks (if that's what the deletions were for; in fairness I've not read most so that could be way off-beam) will be either kind or helpful.

OP I am hoping this is just a rather daft recreational diversion, not a genuine problem for you. But if it is the latter, I do think a chat with your GP might be called for. You don't, honestly, sound very well.

[SaggyOldClothCatPuss]

I was the one who reported this thread... And got deleted!

[Seff]

I was dressing DD at 2 weeks old (under pressure from my mum, because otherwise "people will think you don't care) but I CBA doing so this time - baby gros until at least 3 months, probably closer to 6.

(Probably not white ones though!)
