Tights for baby boys?

I would like some tights for DS (7 weeks).

All I can find is girly ones or white/cream ones - obviously he isn't going to care, but it'd be nice to get some in red, or green, or non-gendered stripes or something.

Anyone have any ideas?

I used to put DS in a sleepsuit/baby gro under his dungarees as it was much easier to change his nappy with two sets of poppers than having to pull tights off and get them back on again

speed is everything when you have a baby who rolls and crawls away from you constantly when you are trying to clean him up!

Sorry but aren't they tricky to get on? My DS is 7 weeks too and as a lazy mummy I've whittled his wardrobe down to vests, sleepysuits and cardigans but maybe I should reconsider...

Not too tricky to get on if they are big enough!

don't think I would put tights on a 7 week old for ease of nappies. Used baby gros and didn't have "proper" clothes until DS was about 6 months....

I can see any of the links so I'm not sure if anyone's posted this yet. They have airplanes, cars, stripes, and other "boy" patterns. When I was looking for tights for ds in stores I found there was always one pink one in the pack of two, or they had butterflies or whatever. I ended up buying the H&M plain white ones but beware that they run long for the size on the label.

I've just discovered tights4tots.com - they have a n=massive sale on and loads of choice for boys and girls. I've just bought up loads for the winter as well as some leggings for on holiday in the evening.

Oh my god. I can’t cope. What’s wrong with tights for boys? And why can’t they wear colours other than blue and grey? I despair. Mine wears tights only (no shorts or trousers on top) as this is what he wants to wear and he is comfortable in. He is three. I am currently looking for some rainbow ones for Xmas and I’m so annoyed by the labelling of them as for girls. Come on Jojo maman Bebe! Can we quit this tiresome gender division. It’s so lame.
