I can't help it: He's just cute in pink!

I have dressed all of my girls in "boy" clothes. Plaid shirts and ball caps and blue this and blue that. However, I've never dressed my boys in girls anything. I have very pretty children, boys and girls both look very much alike. For my now 8 year old son, his hair was never cut for the first almost 3 years of his life. My ex didn't want it cut, and my darling son had the most beautiful girly hair. He would be dressed in dark green sweatsuits with soccer balls on them and a burgundy plaid winter coat and I would still hear "oh what a pretty little girl" so I would never dress him in even remotely a girl color. For my youngest son, while his father is rather open minded, I think he would still have a problem if I put him in pink jammies.

I don't think my son has worn anything pink, but he also doesn't have much hair, and could easily be mistaken for a girl. He does love duckies though, and I found a pair of footie pajamas with ducks all over them. He loved them, so we got them. They rang up on the receipt as being girls. I looked at them, and the only difference between that and one we got with tools on it, is there's a tiny lacing at the edge of the neck. My DH was a little taken aback at first, but when he saw how much DS likes them, he was fine with it.

I probably would at least at home, but my husband has a fit when I put him in yellow. So I cant imagine what he would say if he came home and he was dressed in pink. I love the blanket sleepers, especially this time of year, and I dont blame you for getting them, even if you had to get them in pink. They are great. I mean if you look in the mens section, there are plenty of dress shirts and polos in pinks and purples, why should babies be any different. :)

What does it matter, if it is at home. I don't think I'd take a boy that age out in public in pink, but that's just me. My son hated clothing on his legs of any kind when he was a baby, soI dressed him in little girl's nighties at bed time and they are always frilly. And my youngest looked so gorgeous in blue that she never had any pink until she was walking.

i don't see why not but you might what to try putting something of a smart alleck reply on the sleeper lol like Yes I am a boy lol that would be sooo funny

No, I don't prefer to dress my daughter in colrs not typical for her gender. Because she may feel embarssed when she grows uo and sees the pitures that we have taken now. may be for our happiness we can dress them like that once in a while but not always. That is what I feel.

While I may not be in Yoopercountry right now, I will still answer your question. In Kansas, where I am right now, real MEN DO WEAR PINK, and they have their own bumper sticker that says so. This reminds me of that famous song by Johnny Cash called "A Boy Named Sue." I would be VERY CAREFUL, though. He may just grow up and Whup some Booty, later. Does anyone else have a comment?

Gender and Color, How our world is so blind to Love, and who made up these rules? I wrote once that I'm the exception to all the rules, and it is because I believe uniquely, that the superstitions of society and our rules need to change. We've been held captive to false beliefs, for some people yellow works very well for others yellow is not a color of compliment. Being honest and saying so should not be a crime. Sometimes a cut is wrong, and sometimes a decision is wrong. But knowing you're right even when others think you are wrong takes a strong sense of character, and this is a great trait. Take your stand and with Love, share your Love, I'm certain that your joy in Loving your child will also bleed over and your sharing your love with your husband and child expressed as a personal color choice that really goes well with the child's complexion. Caution, if your husband is really against the color pink I guess you should back off and work together with him and his preconception. Make a mental note of how well the color pink goes with the skin color of your child. Imagine your husband dressed in pink would that look just as cute? In the end your personal love and love of a particular color spectrum is a beautiful thing. This could be part of your personal make up, and I'm sure that pink is a good color for you. This could be a very personal walk. This could be a very lovely walk. You know your personal love. Keeping warm is color blind... In the end you first keep your family safe. Good Luck

I don' think it really matters one bit at his age. What ever works for you and him, that should be what you do. Don't worry about the colors or what the normal traditions are. Do what you feel is right.

ah poo! if he looks cute, dress him as you see fit! it's cool to dress in pink if your a guy now. whoever is just being a fashion stuck in the mud. here's the skinny in the news on the men in pink. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/27/earlyshow/living/beauty/main691184.shtml

When my first daughter was a baby, she had pretty much no hair to speak of lol...so no matter HOW we dressed her, people thought she was a cute little boy...i really don't think it matters in the long run!!!

Honestly, what does it matter? It's not like anyone else is going to see him, and I'm sure you dress him in typical "boy" outfits when you go out. I think a lot of people have too many hang ups about blue being a boys color, and pink being a girls color. I remember dressing my youngest son in an adorable peach color sleeper when he was born. Mom thought he looked ridiculous, but I said, what does it matter? He's a tiny baby, it's not like he's going to develop a complex when he's older if I tell him I dressed him in a peach sleeper as a newborn!

yah pink colour not so bad . i willnot mind if i have to wer it . but we i living in this world has made some customs or boons which stops us to do the things we want in life i think go on that pink sleep over will look great to ur son

colours are something to have similar objects with variety... if you think pink looks nice on your son, by all means, dress him in pink... my baby girl wears blue sometimes too..

It's not like the baby is going to know the difference so why not, saying that, I'm sure my son's Dad would have something to say if he saw him in pink so it's a good thing I'm the boss lol Seriously though, I think it doesn't matter too much although I probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy pink for a boy, saying that I wouldn't mind getting blue for a girl, I don't know why...

I thought they called pink "salmon" when males wear it? I'd rather him wear pink than a fish. lolol Sorry I couldn't resist I knew a guy that use to wear pink shirts he always said they were salmon. I checked a tag at a store one day he was right they called it salmon. If that is all that was left at least he is warm

I would! I don't have a problem dressing a girl in blue. So I wouldn't have a problem dressing a boy in blue. I think it is ridiculous that people make such a big fuss about dressing boys in pink. Give me a break like it really makes a difference, they are just clothes!
