However, she has a mix of more babyish stuff and more fashionable. A lot of her everyday clothes are things that I would wear, but her nicer clothes are usually smocked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-844164 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 08:21:30 +0000 Adira 844164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I are lazy. Xander's been wearing sleepers his whole life (3 months). Until he stops spitting up on everything I put him in, I'm not going to do anything more fancy, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-844096 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:54:37 +0000 Anagram 844096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I had to look up what john johns are..... and it's confirmed, I love the baby clothing!!!</p> <p>Obviously, I just have a LO on the way, so we'll see how that opinion changes, but I'm in no rush to have my baby dressing like a mini adult at this point. I think little onesies, and shortalls, and rompers and rufflebutts are So, So adorable. But honestly, I wore my share of rompers a few years back when they first became popular, so I'm into those on adults, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-844070 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:44:07 +0000 kjpugs 844070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have one for baby that says Potty Like a Rockstar that I just couldn't resist. I guess no one is 100% immune :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843963 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 06:33:10 +0000 looch 843963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the one piece things in the first year, but then my son's personality really started to come out and I could tell he wasn't himself in those kinds ofoutfits anymore, so now I dress him in casual/preppy stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843771 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 22:21:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 843771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love sweet baby clothes! I actually think the styles are leaning towards "mini adult" and I don't love it for infants. My mom pulled out all my little baby dresses and I love them - so classic and just sweet. Once they start walking, I think it would be fun to experiment with "mini me" looks, but I definitely prefer classic baby style for babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843717 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:49:45 +0000 fancyfunction 843717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a huge fan of babyish clothes either. I try to dress her in what I find to be stylish. Of course if money was no object, she'd be a fashion plate! My mom, MIL and SIL always buy her stuff from Carter's though. Some of it is cute but I'm not the hugest fan. Of course she wears it but if we're going out I usually dress her in the things I pick out. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843591 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:13:16 +0000 Springtime 843591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer little man clothing, especially now that he's older, but nothing over the top. I'm definitely not against "babyish" clothes either. They are are only little for so long, I think some of it is really cute! I'm also all about comfort and what's practical for my DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843561 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:01:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 843561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: I think that since that's what is all over the market, that's what family/friends buy! Carters is pretty prime example. I've found some cute stuff there that didn't have wording on it; for 0-6 months they are the most comfortable/functional so I bought a lot there. But I definitely prefer gap, TCP and h&amp;m.</p> <p>I did find one onesie I LOVED that had the wording, "Little Big Man" and I thought it was cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843442 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 18:16:35 +0000 kjpugs 843442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: LOL aww! And yes, function over fashion always!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843413 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:54:29 +0000 immabeetoo 843413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: I hated onesies too and was all about t-shirts and shorts... until LO got mobile and his tummy was all red from scooting in t-shirts! We actually never put him in them until recently because his HUGE head made them so scary to use when he was itty bitty :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843382 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:32:52 +0000 kjpugs 843382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I SO agree!!!!!!!!! I love adult-like separates or dresses that look like a little kid version of something that could be adult. I am not a huge fan of onesies especially not past 12 months at all. They're cute on bitty babies but that's it. I am REALLY not into the little shirts that say stuff like "Daddy's Princess" or "Mommy's Home Run Boy" or whatever, I feel like if you wouldn't wear it as an adult why put it on a kid!?! But I know some people feel the exact OPPOSITE! So I just hope people who like those don't buy us too many clothes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843358 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:09:00 +0000 runsyellowlites 843358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never been a fan of babyish clothes, P has some things that I consider pretty babyish that she'll wear *sometimes* but that's usually just bc someone gifted it to her.... I still will try &amp; take parts of an outfit to pair it with something I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843343 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:43:20 +0000 blackbird 843343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I was gifted a bag of NB-12M clothes, she wears those. She wears a diaper around the house. She spits up on everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes/page/2#post-843321 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:29:00 +0000 lomom 843321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like DS to look like a little man :) </p> <p>My favorite outfit is a polo and jeans. But easy access to his diaper is pretty important! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843291 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:04:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 843291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I love john johns and shortalls for baby boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843277 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 15:51:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 843277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babies in little costume are super cute. But, I will probably have mine wear more practical, but whimsical &amp; fanciful, clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843230 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 14:49:13 +0000 LittleFox 843230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love when DS looks like a little man, and I love babies in formal wear. That said, comfort is king for us so he wears onesies, sweat pants, etc a lot. I have adorable jeans and suits for him, but I save those for when I want him to be dressed up (church, weddings, etc). We're also trying to save money, so we use a lot of gifts and hand me downs or buy his clothes at consignment shops. The cost of nicer baby clothes is just not worth it to me, and many of the little man styles I like cost more than babyish stuff (especially free hand me downs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843217 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 14:30:33 +0000 Arden 843217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarbear: I agree, around the house comfort is my only concern. She'll often hang out in just a onesie, or lately in this heat - just a diaper. At least they're cute cloth ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843214 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 14:26:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 843214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not exactly sure what babyish clothes are. But I do love cutesy stuff! Having a baby girl gives me a good excuse to buy the stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843206 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 14:07:55 +0000 GrapeCrush 843206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i love dressing DS like a little man! but that's mostly for when we go out. when we are just bumming around the house, i'm all for ease and comfort, so more onesies and cotton pants. my MIL buys him tons of cutesy, baby clothes(Still at 13 months) and i don't really like it. i really don't like boys 1 piece rompers, but DH does and MIL buys them....i usually try to return them :o) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843169 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:34:50 +0000 heffalump 843169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love baby clothes. She's only going to be a baby once! She's 22 months and I still haven't put her in jeans. They just seem so uncomfortable. I know I'd rather wear leggings.... But I can't pull them off like she can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843129 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:10:58 +0000 lemondrop 843129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As cute as the little man styles are, we are all about comfort and being able to get messy. We'll give up the Carter's baby clothes when we get to potty training, when snaps become difficult. I love how the short sleeved onesies don't ride up like shirts do. Most pants are hard for him to move in, so we mostly go with athletic style pants and shorts. We don't really follow styles or trends even in our adult clothes.</p> <p>@shopaholic: C was looking at my phone and started babbling at the photos of K... I think he likes her ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843116 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 13:03:46 +0000 photojane 843116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: for sure! Comfort is #1 - especially now that Sadie is either folded in half with her whole foot in her mouth or rolling around the living room! </p> <p>@rawrasaur: the heat is totally a factor here too! It's already in the 90's &amp; 80%+ humidity. Shoot, she's just in a diaper most days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843109 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:58:51 +0000 rawrasaur 843109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer ease of diaper changes to any fashion. I love one pieces which tend to look more baby.</p> <p>ETA: Also, living in Texas, there is little opportunity for layering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843107 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:57:29 +0000 BananaPancakes 843107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's summer in Florida, so he currently wears a cotton tshirt and Oxford shorts. It's way too hot to care if he looks like an adult or baby. I feel bad making him wear a polo shirt, at this point. In the winter, I dressed him more grown up, though. I don't like anything too kiddie ("I love grandma" and such). He totally wears things like TMNT and batman shirts, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843106 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:56:39 +0000 loveisstrange 843106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: My favorites are actually from Carter's. I don't know when they are from, since I got them in a bag of hand-me-downs, but they are so soft and thick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843105 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:56:31 +0000 immabeetoo 843105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My number one pet peeve is when kids don't look comfy or like they can move! I'm resigned as well once LO is older that ill let him wear what he wants even if its gym shorts!</p> <p>I like a mix of both; I like prints and brights that are probably kiddish. I avoid licensed characters, pastels, tank tops, and anything mommy/daddy etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843103 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:53:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 843103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: we love jeggings too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-babyish-clothes#post-843099 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:53:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 843099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: now that he's a year old I have him in regular jeans, but am still picky about the feel. I don't like rigid ones or if they leave marks on his tummy. gap and TCP are the best I've found </p>
