She always has a bow in her hair and usually has some sort of pink on. Plus she has girly hair now.</p> <p>When she was a baby she had a mohawk and I think that was the cause of everyone thinking she was a boy. No matter how much pink I put on her she was called a "he." My niece has the same problem. She's bald but was dressed in all pink and a man said to me, "he's a cutey." Babies don't always have hair. It does not make them boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707522 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:33:28 +0000 pelikila 707522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until very recently (he is now over 2) my son was always called a girl no matter how he was dressed. His big blue eyes apparently said "girl" to most everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707468 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:25:01 +0000 swurlygurl 707468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but that's only because I haven't really taken DD anywhere yet. I kinda think she looks a little boyish though - she looks EXACTLY like her dad... kinda freaks me out sometimes. She'd better hurry up and get some hair!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707436 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:19:56 +0000 Springtime 707436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People always mistake my boy for being a girl! He gets called "she" all the time, I can kind of understand because he does have long hair, but he's clearly wearing boy clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707415 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:17:08 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 707415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't understand people LOL If there is any question in my mind, I just say "Oh what a cutie!" and leave it at that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707364 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:07:01 +0000 Honeybee 707364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People always thought DD was a boy, even when she eas dressed head to toe in pink. It never bothered me much and when she finally grew some hair, around 2, it stopped. </p> <p>Most people recognize that DS is a boy, but I think that's because he is so big? Usually I get comments about "what a big boy" I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707360 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:06:42 +0000 mrsjazz 707360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO always gets called a boy...even when she's dressed in "girl" colors like pink and lavender. We've tried headbands but she rips them off. Plus, she has a boy's name so we just gave up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707359 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:06:32 +0000 rachiecakes 707359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is called a girl while wearing a motorcycle jacket, scally cap and Vans.<br /> He did have longer hair for a while but was always dressed like a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707355 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:05:09 +0000 MamaMoose 707355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An old lady once said to me "look how cute he is" when M was wearing a headband with a huge sparkly flower on it. I just stared at her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707354 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:04:32 +0000 tequiero21 707354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they were younger maybe. Now, they look like girl and boy.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707346 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:03:01 +0000 bunnylove08 707346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes LO is called a boy when she is dressed in pink, like full on pink onesie, tutu pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707339 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 10:00:37 +0000 jennylynn 707339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: our LO used to get called "he" a lot, and it drove me crazy! I remember being out at the store once and she was wearing a pink jacket, leopard print shoes, a headband, and had a pink blanket and someone called her a "he". Really?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707329 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:56:27 +0000 anbanan15 707329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this problem too. DS had really longer tight tight curly hair and we LOVED it, however he would always get called a girl...even when dressed completely like a boy and I would correct people that he was in fact a boy, they would still say "she". It got really annoying and we finally got him his first hair cut around 22 months. We HATED the hair cut because his curls were gone, but now his hair is growing into a nice curly shag again :) I think people, especially the older generation, equate curls with girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707319 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:54:00 +0000 BelugaBean 707319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO was called a boy once when she was a week and a half old. She was wearing purple and in her pink car seat so I thought it was strange but I didn't correct her. People usually know she's a girl though. A doctor once commented that she doesn't have a ton of hair but that she's a very girly looking baby (some people have suggested it's the eyelashes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-people-know-your-lo-is-a-boygirl#post-707310 Thu, 11 Apr 2013 09:52:14 +0000 littlebittyhouse 707310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a boy but ALWAYS gets called a girl! Even when he is dressed in all blue! </p> <p>I am not a boys in blue/girls in pink type of person but perfect example: We were out the other day he was wearing navy pants, an orange and navy zip up hoodie and a hat with baseballs/basketballs/footballs on it. Someone said "ooooooh look, she is a little sports fan!'</p> <p>I don't mind and I never correct, I just say thank you! I do think its really funny that he gets called a girl 80% of the time. </p>
