| DS is 7 months old and fits into DD's hand-me-down pink pajamas. Is it so terrible that I plan to use them this winter instead of buying new ones? I often don't get him dressed until after his morning nap, which comes after DD's preschool drop-off. |

If you don't mind having a gay son, I don't see a problem with it. Because dressing him in pink clothes will definitely make him gay. I mean, it's pretty much guaranteed. But think how awesome it would be to have Tim Gunn as your son when you're 75. I bet he just dotes on his mom. Ooh, or Neil Patrick Harris. If my son grew up like him, I'd be over the moon.
By the way, if you DON'T want a gay son, you'll have to splurge on PJs with trucks and baseballs. You might wish to discuss this with your husband, and decide if the family budget can manage the cost of ensuring your son's heterosexuality. Good luck! |

| Don't worry about it at all! That's my feeling probably since I am trying to justify that DD will eventually where some of DS pajamas. My DS wears pink polo or button down shirts though. Kind of annoying when people call him a girl... |

too funny! I hope you get that this is PP's humorous way of saying "its no big deal," OP.

| If my daughter can wear her brother's old dinosaur and baseball-themed PJs (and this is at age 3 mind you), I see no reason why your infant son can't wear pink PJs. |

I do this to my son all the time, and he's about to turn 3. Of course, now that he can voice his opinion, he prefers monster trucks to pink fairies, but occasionally I can still get him into his sister's old clothes.
I have a friend who is SHOCKED by this. Her DH would never even dream of letting their son wear pink pajamas, even if no one but family ever saw. |

| I fully intend on dressing #2, if he's a boy, in #1 (girl)'s hand-me-downs. PJs, some pants and some shirts-the ones I can get away with anyway. . . |

My husband, who has a degree in Victorian Studies, has often pointed out that until about 1920, pink was used for boys and blue for girls. In fact, in a lot of old movies from the 30's you will see little boys dressed in pink outfits.
Apparently pink was considered manly because of the association with red blood. Blue was considered fay and feminine. |

If the movie is in color... |

Where's that thread for best things ever said on DCUM? Because this should be on it, for sure. In fact, you're number two on my personal list, right behind, "Enjoy Applebees," which will never be topped. |

| I tried to buy gender neutral jammies for my son so that I could use them again for the next kid, but they don't exist. I am dressing my lil girl in "tough guy" jammies. Don't worry! |
