Do newborn boys and girls look the same?

[jeaniebueller]

Yes. My DS and DD look exactly alike as newborns. My H and I joke that DD would look like a boy but for her pink clothes.

[MadamePresident]

Well my daughter is pretty much a clone of my husband and my son looks exactly like me, so i don't think there is a big difference.

[rootbeerfloat]

Most of the time, yes.

[andthentherewere10]

I think my boy looks only like a boy. Also, it was a relief to have a boy because I'm not the bow type

[undecidedowl]

I think they look the same.

My 1yo still looks like a boy sometimes. Damn mullet.

Mine too. No one ever assumes girl, even when she's wearing a headband.

[statlerwaldorf]

Yes. They all look like little old men.

Total girl. Her features are dainty

[rugbywife]

There might have been a few times recently where I had to remind myself that DD is a girl. I blame exhaustion and baby brain.

[rootbeerfloat]

One is a boy, and one is a girl.

[rootbeerfloat]

DS is on the left, DD on the right

here is another one from 16 months old, in CP pajamas from the boy section.

LOOKS LIKE A BOY



Nope. Girl. She is very girly looking!!

[AmyRI]

Some babies do. My babies don't. Unless, of course, you can all tell who is who:
*poof*

[Yankees21]

I've only had my son confused as a girl one day, and it was by two different people at a baseball game. Apparently his sun hat was girly? Haha

[timorousbeastie]

Babies almost always look totally androgynous, which is why it doesn't bother me that DD is always mistaken for a boy - she doesn't look like a boy or a girl, she just looks like a (ridiculously cute) baby.

[Jalapeñomel]

Yes

[brooklyn]

Jack would make a very cute girl.

This is a boy in a girl's sleeper. Because lemons are feminine I guess. 

Your comment about lemons being feminine reminded me - on more than one occasion, I've had people insist that DD was a boy specifically because she had on a giraffe print. Apparently giraffes are only for boys.

I got that right. She looks very girl to me.

[matildasun]

I don't think there is really a difference. A wore a lot of gender neutral clothes and you wouldn't have been able to tell she was a girl.

I think, even at two, the only things that makes M look like a boy are his haircut and his clothes. I put a barrette in his hair the other day, because he asked me to, and I think if I had put him in more gender neutral clothes people would have not known.

[bowies]

They usually look the same to me. The adjective I hear most often for DS is beautiful. Not that I'm complaining. He looks like a dainty old man.

I had this same sleeper for my son, born in 2006.

Nope

[hermione]

C got called a boy all the time. It didn't help that things I considered gender neutral, everyone else seemed think were totally boyish. Here she is in all her masculine glory.

[dancingirl21]

I don't know. I feel like J looks decidedly boy. But probably that's just because I'm his mother.

Trick question, those are the EXACT same baby Wow, I can't believe how much alike they look!

[curbsideprophet]

From my limited experience yes. If people ask who DS looks like I say DD.

[stever]

Yes, I think boys and girls look the same as newborns. People thought DS1 was a girl until he was three despite being dressed in, what I thought anyway, were fairly boyish clothes.

Must be the long hair.

This is J in a white onesie at 8 months old. You cannot convince me that she looks like a girl vs a boy yet people would always tell me "oh I can tell she's all girl" (an almost equal number of people would call her a boy, lol).

I think she has a very pretty face and eyes which makes me think girl. Some boys are very "pretty" too though. I'm thinking tulips ds but in a good way .

Dd has lots of hair now so it's easier but I would make sure to have headbands on her when she was really little.
