| I’m going to a funeral with my 8 month old baby boy. What should he wear? Serious question. |

| I guess I’d go with a darker color like navy or dark green |

| I don’t think it matters. I’d say to dress baby in something clean. |

It really doesn't matter. No one will judge you for the color, but I suppose darker, more somber colors are better than bright yellow.
Also, sit on an aisle or easy exit row in case your 8-month old does not do well. Leave at the first moment of fussiness. |

| My baby was 3 weeks old at my mothers funeral, he wore whatever, I didn’t even think about it. For a 9month old I would put them in something darker if I already had it on hand, but I wouldn’t buy anything specific. |

| Skip the onesie that says "Celebrate!" Other than that, no one is going to judge you for what a baby wears. |

My first thought was "don't take a baby to a funeral " but, maybe it can't be avoided.
Do you have anything in grey or navy? Put him in something you know he's comfortable in. |

| Oh my gosh, you were definitely overthinking this. What would you have them wear to church/synagogue? Same attire. Bring back ups in case they spit up. |

| I work in the funeral profession and it doesn’t matter at all. Babies are such a gift at funerals, helping people smile during a difficult time. |

| Darker or muted color onsie and trousers/sweater/socks if it’s going to be cold. No one will care honestly. |

| They should wear their normal daily attire, as is appropriate when they are at home with a sitter, as they should be. |

| People are so thrilled to see babies or young kids at funerals they can wear anything they want. They uplift people during a somber time. |
