I always get asked if he's a boy or girl. Lol he always has a blue pacifier, a blue outfit, and a blue blanket. (Blue is my favorite color!)
Do people ask or mistake your LO's gender?
-
maybe when she was much younger? but now she has a lot of hair so people know she is a girl I dont think people go by colors because my daughter wears blue a lot. and I know people that put their sons in pink
-
Ever since he was born. It still happens a lot even at 22 months because he has longish hair, no matter what he's wearing.
-
All the time, especially sonce I tend to dress her in her older brother's old clothes. But with her red hair, she looks so good in green and blue!
-
Oddly, not a single person has ever asked me if T is a boy! He has looked very boyish from day 1, I guess.
-
Last weekend I had 4 different people comment on what a cute little boy my daughter was. Normally it doesn't phase me, because she's six months old and doesn't have much hair and she does wear gender neutral clothes sometimes, but it was just odd this time because she was wearing a very ruffly coral dress with maryjane trumpette socks!
-
Yep, only because of his hair.
-
I'm still pregnant so I'm not sure about LO. However, when I was a baby my mom used to scotch tape bows to my head because I had no hair and everyone thought I was a boy!
-
Sometimes. I got told he was to beautiful to be a boy?!?!! OK....

DD has almost no hair (7 months). Even in pink someone called her "little man" at the grocery store yesterday. It's funny because her features are really feminine but people just don't see it without the hair. Oh well!
-
Yup. But to be fair, I put her in a lot of aqua blues and outfits without pink. They are obviously girly, but sometimes they hide behind her car seat buckle or in the ergo. I really don't care, in the end, other than it can be a little awkward.
-
Emma doesn't have a whole lot of hair, but we've never been asked if she was a boy- everyone just seems to know she's a girl thankfully!
-
I had DS all in blue and at the store and a lady referred to him as she. Then there are times when we are out and he is in neutral colors and people correctly say he.
-
I don't have a LO yet, but my mom's told me that people always thought I was a boy.. even when I was wearing a "daddy's little GIRL" t-shirt!
-
Usually DS isn't mistaken for a girl unless we let his hair grow out a bit.
-
Not yet with my newborn!
-
Yes, but strangely, she mostly gets mistaken for a boy when she's wearing dresses or a lot of pink.
-
Only once. This guy asked my DH what the babys name was. When DH replied, "Desmond", the guy said, "She's such a cute little girl!"
I don't know about you, but I never considered Desmond to be a girls name, lol.
-
They did until she grew hair. She could be in a pink dress and people would still ask or just assume she was a boy because she was bald. But she was a baby- it's not like I cut her hair like that on purpose!
-
Only one person called R him, which was weird cause she was in the Ktan do you could only see her head and part of her shirt, which was white.
-
Nope! He looks very much like a boy
-
Yes. He is clearly dressed in a polo and jeans, has a boy hair cut, they are told his name, and I've still been told how pretty SHE is. He's over 2 at this point. I quit correcting people around 1 year. I just didn't care anymore.
-
the other day he was wearing a (boys) pink polo and someone called him a girl lol!
-
All the time! People constantly refer to my daughter as a boy. She wears a lot of pink, but I don't dress her super girly in a lot of frills and jewelry. Still, I cannot figure out why people always think she's a boy. She does have pretty short hair, but otherwise she looks very much like a girl!
-
Both of my kids were bald as babies (DS still is) so people couldn't tell. It didn't bother me at all, to tell the truth.
Yesterday at the park I asked another mom about her son. Turns out it was a girl. Oops! But she didn't mind at all. She said it happens all the time and she doesn't even care about it now.
