neutral baby clothes

[centralsquare]

If you are Team Green -- where are you finding good gender-neutral baby clothing? My mom commented last night that it's hard to find cute things that aren't pink/blue.

Carters has a few. They mostly have ducks or animals on them

Apparently Old Navy believes babies can only wear pink, blue, or gray :-P

I haven't really gotten any outfits, but as far as onesies and sleepers, I have found some at Target and Kohls. I got a really cute fleece sleeper from BRU for my shower, it's white with orange foxes (which I consider neutral). I've received a pack of onesies that are blue, yellow and green that I think are Carter's. The ones I have mostly have either ducks, frogs, foxes, stripes or dots on them, or are solid colored.

The Gap actually is what I was going to recommend. They may categorize things by boy or girl but a lot is pretty neutral.

Otherwise some good brands are: L'oved Baby, Leveret, Zutano, etc.

I probably wouldn't stock up on too many gender neutral outfits- I suspect once baby arrives your mom will want to get something more gender specific. We got hand me downs from DH's cousin and they didn't know the gender, but most of the gender neutral clothes in the bin were hardly used, or still had tags on them!

I found a cute koala onesie at baby Gap I think it was. Definitely could be neutral! Carter's had quite a few neutral things. There are a few things at Kohls, Target and Old Navy, but not a whole lot.

Now that I think about it, that koala onesie was from somewhere else. Gymboree? I can't remember now!

If you look at the boy's clothes, some of them can be worn either way. Also Osh'Kosh has some good neutral items.

Never had a problem with my first. Got things at Gap, Children's Place/Gymboree, and Zutano is fantastic for bright colors. Kickee Pants have clothes in every color of the rainbow.

I also found it much easier to shop in the boy's department/side because every boy color is "gender neutral" and didn't have bows or ribbons on it. A lot of the girl stuff trends towards pink and sparkly.

So far Carters/Oshkosh, Target, BBB, and Kohls has had items to my liking. I've also joined swap groups and am not opposed to second hand places like Goodwill. I also buy boy things just because I like blue or puppies and stuff. I really don't care if bunny is a girl and is wearing an alligator sleeper, lol.

Plus I've already been told that as soon as bunny is born there is some massive clothes shopping being done by my MIL and mom when they leave the hospital, haha.

This is what I expect will happen once our baby is born. I'm really not worried about having a lot of clothes ahead of time. I figure clothes and toys just magically appear in your home when you're not looking.

This happened to us.  We got almost no clothes at the shower, but as soon as we announced "It's a boy" at the hospital, we were inundated with clothes.

The thing for us is, we live in the birthplace of Oshkosh B'Gosh and have an outlet mall. My MIL has been saying all along "as soon as we get kicked out for the day from the hospital I'm coming right over here!!!" Lol. She's adorable with it. And I expect will go quite overboard.

I got a ton of hand me down clothes and I feel like a lot of it is gender neutral--yellow, mint, beige, etc. Most of it is Carters, some Gerber and then some mixed things.

I've been intentionally buying clothes that aren't blue/"boyish" even though I'm team blue. I figure people will get me that stuff at showers plus I hate the whole "it's a boy; he must wear blue"! Thing. I've had luck at various places, like carters (cutest stuff), old navy, gap, and kohl's. Buy buy baby too. The selections will be less- green, white, yellow and gray are the most common colors. I was thrilled when I found an orange outfit. I bought a few sleepers and onesies at estate sales before I was team blue and they have some bright colors on them in prints, maybe even pink. I think he will survive sleeping in those and not be traumatized

I have had better luck in the boy's section. There are lots of animal prints etc. that work as gender neutral for me. EVERYTHING in the girls area has bows or ruffles.
