To be fair, A has very little pink clothing but it happened once while she was wearing a dress :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116925 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 13:04:04 +0000 lamariniere 2116925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: he totally looks like a boy to me!</p> <p>When my daughter was in the stroller bassinet people always assed she was a boy because the stroller canopy is blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116923 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 13:00:57 +0000 illumina 2116923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day?! She doesn't have a lot of hair for her age and I don't dress her head to toe in pink, so maybe that's why? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116913 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 12:46:11 +0000 gingerbebe 2116913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EVERYONE tells me what a beautiful daughter I have...except we have a son! And we've never really dressed him super gender neutral either so its sorta surprising. People will ask us what his name is and we say "Sam" and they say "oh, for Samantha?" LOL. We took him out dressed in blue from head to toe the other day and the guy at the notary public commented about our "daughter." I think, like your son, its because of his insanely long eyelashes! </p> [attach=1472/15/nlkpcz.600x600.Photo-Dec-08--11-08-23-AM--1-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116912 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 12:44:33 +0000 chopsuey 2116912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD - a bunch of times until she turned 2<br /> DS - never.

He is a boy! Haha. He can be head to toe in blue and people still guess girl. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116902 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 12:23:25 +0000 JessKas 2116902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens to my daughter a lot, especially because I tend to favor more neutral colors. But we've even gotten "little fellow is in pink!". Okkkkkk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116896 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 12:10:18 +0000 Radish 2116896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any time we leave the house it seems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116878 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:52:04 +0000 FaithFertility 2116878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A fee times, but it always seems to be the elderly so ...lol I just laugh it off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116876 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:51:00 +0000 youboots 2116876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now a lot, since she is wearing a fair amount of her boy cousins hand me downs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116875 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:50:46 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2116875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've only had it happen once and it was an employee at a baby store while DD1 was wearing a hair bow. I figured they'd be more adept at baby pronoun usage.<br /> I think in general because my girls have so much hair people automatically assume hair=girl. Not that boys don't have hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116874 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:50:25 +0000 MrsHoneyC 2116874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: thank you ! He's 16 months old, 21 pounds of adorable. :heart: </p> <p>@MenagerieMama: it doesn't bother me either, i know some parents take offense but its no big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116869 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:46:31 +0000 Anya 2116869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is sooo cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116866 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:39:53 +0000 MenagerieMama 2116866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a big fan of pink and also think LO looks great in blue because of her eyes so this happens all the time! Babies are so hard to tell so it doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116860 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:32:28 +0000 Anagram 2116860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it hasn't ever happened to us so far, but I've heard this is super common! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116858 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:31:58 +0000 simplyfelicity 2116858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHoneyC: Those eyes!!! *swoon* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116854 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:30:56 +0000 MrsHoneyC 2116854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: haha thank you very well could be the sweater. Here's a photo from this winter, i love that little sweater. </p> <p>@MrsSCB: my little brother is dressed in TONS of pink in his baby photos because of all my handme downs haha. i honestly dont mind if people think he's a girl, kids under 2 can look so gender neutral.</p> <p>@catlady: haha seems to be a common thing, my SIL's daughter gets mistaken for a boy all the time.</p> <p>[attach=4917/15/nlklvk.400x600.DSC00434.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116851 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:26:45 +0000 catlady 2116851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get "what a cute little guy!" to my daughter pretty often. I think it's because her winter coat and hat are blue (but they are floral and covered with hearts!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116849 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:25:57 +0000 MrsSCB 2116849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww he's adorable! I would think boy if I saw him, although I think either gender could get away with his cute little outfit :-) I tend to just say, "your baby is so cute!" Because you never know, haha. People always thought I was a boy when I was little because my parents dressed me in hand-me-downs from friends with a boy. They also just didn't bother to correct and just said thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116848 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:25:39 +0000 simplyfelicity 2116848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe the sweater? I honestly have no clue but he is so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-does-you-lo-get-mistaken-for-the-wrong-gender#post-2116844 Sat, 21 Mar 2015 11:23:10 +0000 MrsHoneyC 2116844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put this in mini style because i think it might be the way i dress DS that makes people think he's a girl, yesterday we were out shopping, and i had 4 strangers tell me how pretty a daughter i have. </p> <p>It's gotten to the point where i frankly dont even correct people anymore i just say thank you and carry on. Except yesterday i had a woman ask: "what is her name?" Which had never happened before so i told her his name and she says: "oh thats pretty." hahaha. :silly: Maybe its the leggings ?? or mini mocks. </p> <p>This is the exact outfit he was wearing minus the hat. I thought it was boyish. But i can see how it could be super gender neutral too. haha </p> [attach=4917/15/nlklim.450x600.11082904_10155351265140296_574161633_n.jpg] [attach=4917/15/nlklin.450x600.11072580_10155351235915296_125750519_n.jpg]
