NPCER: @ settle a clothing debate

[pamela]

Am I dressing my toddler boy like a girl?

Hope this shows up right, I'm trying out the app.

I don't think so. P has a bunch of those rompers - I don't think they're girly at all.

You're dressing him like a toddler. I love rompers on James because they're really easy.

[ladybrettashley]

Well I don't think Rompers themselves are girly, C wears them all the time. But I have to admit, when I first saw the picture before reading your post, I thought he was a girl. Maybe that particular romper just looks a little girly?

[emmybean]

I stopped putting MPT in rompers when he turned one. They just seemed too babish. But I wouldn't call them girly.

I don't think it's girly, but it not "boyish" either. As pp's stated, it's classic toddler.

DS wore rompers all last summer, until he was about 14 month as they were so easy. I preferred less "traditional" on him, favoring knitted/tshirt material with open legs.

I don't think rompers are too girly. I think with the way the bottom that one falls it could be mistaken for a dress.

I think that romper just looks kind of girly. DS (granted he is only 7 months) has a ton of rompers. They are all very boy looking though.

I agree with Emmybean. Maybe not girly, but definitely babyish. Of course, I don't like that real traditional style for my boys, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

[Deleted]

I think yes, but I have no issue with that whatsoever.

[pixy0stix]

I don't think so, but my idea of general of traditional gender role clothing is skewed.

a little babyish but not girlie. I like that look but lately find that the pastels etc just don't look right on my 13 month old. He will be living in overalls (including bubble hemmed ones) and rompers (with short sleeves) this summer... just in darker colors (plus I don't want to have to worry about him ruining pale clothes)

I'm a huge fan of the classic rompers. So, I love it.

I think whoever is telling you that you're dressing your child like a girl needs to mind their own business (unless of course it's your husband...lol).

I love jon jons and rompers for little boys - I don't think they are girly and I don't think it's too babyish, either. MH and I agreed that we would stop putting them on Jackson at age 2, even though they go up to much larger sizes (especially smocked versions in the south) b/c he didn't like them very much. It was a compromise that worked for us.

[pamela]

Yes, it's DH naysaying. I love them because they fit better over fluffy diapers than more "current" styles. There is a store in the mall that specializes in well-made traditional clothes, but I don't want to spring the money for them if DH thinks they're too girly.

[heyjude]

It definitely looks girly. I think it's the color, the neckline, and the hem. But. Who cares?

[curmudgeon]

I definitely thought he looked like a boy, team dressed like a toddler. Now if you are painting his fingernails pink...maybe.

[ringstrue]

NO! In what world is blue stripes girly?? He looks cute!!
