WHAT NOT TO WEAR: baby edition
poor Winnie the Pooh. Such a great guy, but mommies are not into him these days.
We asked our Facebook page about what types of clothing they refuse to put on their children. While this is a very subjective topic, and I don’t imagine we all share the same opinions on these styles, here are the things some mommies named as styles they don’t want their babies to wear.1. Camoflague. It’s too early in life to draft our little ones into battle, I gather. though it’s been a recent trend, lots of of you don’t want your kids sporting camo.

2. Bikinis. No “likes” on Facebook for the teeny weeny swimsuits.

3. References to mommy and Daddy. Mommy’s little Sailor above a picture of a boat? Wild about daddy with a cheetah print? You people say, “No thank you.” especially not this remarkably graphic tribute to Daddy’s relationship to the baby. Umm.
4. pastel animals. Also, neon animals. Also, neon cars. Ok, this one is pretty subjective. I think what we’re getting at here is general cheesiness. Or maybe just ugliness? I feel bad selecting a product to illustrate.
5. Turtlenecks. We don’t need to say more. but we will. San Francisco mommy Val says, “Because a baby shouldn’t look like Steve jobs in a tiny black mock turtleneck onesie.”
6. Announcements that this baby just might be a jerk. I Heart Boobies, little Monster, call Me Princess, lady Killer, and other artificial big-headed claims are rejected.
7. writing on the butt. What’s worse than a onesie that brags “Little Diva”? One that says it on the tush.
8. Skulls. lots of mommies find them creepy. enough disagree that sincere Co makes diapers with skulls, and I gotten them for my nephew because I knew his mommy would dig ’em. Oh well. find these at Target. Or don’t if you hate skulls.
9. NFL, NASCAR, NBA licensed gear. Some parents are uneasy with their child functioning as a billboard for multi-million dollar businesses. That includes Disney. fair enough.
Bonus discussion topic: Overalls. Wait, overalls are cute, aren’t they? Or you people hate overalls? I can’t tell.
No matter how much you agree or disagree with the picks above, I can guarantee that by the time our kids are grown, we’ll think it was all charming — even NASCAR turtlenecks with neon animal-themed overalls.
