Best baby girl headbands/ bow brand?

[Anonymous]

Baby Bling Bows - 100% the only brand that didn't leave a mark on my girls heads after trying lots. She's almost 4 and can still wear them so I think they are functional well beyond baby years.

Ugh why?

But I ordered these and am impressed by how super-soft the headband is:

We'll see...

Zozu is a good brand! OP, what you’re looking for is small shops (think: Etsy) where the bows for babies without hair are sold on soft nylon headbands (literally like pantyhose material—super stretchy.) They won’t leave marks. My bald daughter wore them everyday the first year of her life without complaint and by 10 months would tap her head to ask for a bow when we were leaving the house.

Favorite shops below. Bows are usually shown on clips in the pictures but you just select headband as the finish when you add it to your cart.

That’s just straight up crazy. There is literally no need for a baby to wear this. It didn’t protect her from anything. But every day you put this on your kid. Did you think you were dressing a doll?

Perhaps her daughter was unattractive and OP wanted to distract from or enhance her baby's look? Be charitable, PP. It's important for a girl to look good from her earliest days.

I love these commenters who are anti bow who think they’re so progressive but are really just misogynistic. If someone posted asking where to find tiny baseball hats for their infant son would you make fun of them and say “ugh, why?” and comment on how unnecessary such an accessory is? No, you wouldn’t. You’ve let society convince you that feminine things are inherently bad or less than masculine or gender-neutral things. Your attitude isn’t doing your daughters any favors. Baby girls can wear bows and still grow up to be scientists and athletes. Expand your mindset.

A hat keeps your child warm. A bow serves no purpose. If a person was putting a baseball hat on their kid so that no one mistook him for a her you bet your butt I would roll my eyes at that. Who cares if someone thinks your daughter is a son or vice versa? They're BABIES.

Elasticized headband style bows can cause intracranial pressure and are a choking hazard. Please only use Velcro bows.

God this is dumb. I don't think there's anything wrong with femininity, but forcing femininity on a baby with an accessory that babies generally find uncomfortable is self-centered and stupid. If the entire purpose of the baseball hat in your scenario is to make sure a *baby* isn't misgendered, that would be equally stupid.

Here’s a thought: maybe the bow has nothing to do with proving gender....maybe some people just like bows?! I often put my daughter in shades of blue or black and white with no ruffles or feminine details. Sometimes I put her in pink or a dress. Whether she wears a bow with either outfit depends on the day but doesn’t have anything to do with ensuring her gender is known. I’m not bothered by what other people think she is...I just like accessories. Again,
you and pp can imagine another purpose for a baseball hat besides accessorizing or proving gender (although I can’t fathom someone actually choosing one as a practical means of warmth) so again I think this is a situation of placing weird value on masculine accessories and only seeing the worst in feminine ones. Silly moms and their silly bows. It’s self-hate. You should think about what society has taught you.

Would you dress your son in a bow?

This. Bows are uniquely worn by women.

A) why?
B) if it bothers you that much it takes two seconds to say "actually, she". Is that really so very inconvenient for you that you have to stick an uncomfortable choking hazard on your poor baby's head?

I HATE the bows and told everyone not to get my daughter any. God, I even hate thinking about the bows. What a stupid idea that was. Leave the baby's head alone.

These are great. You need ribbon to cover all the metal parts. These are probably from China but I’m not convinced ones in boutiques aren’t as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ID4TYW4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TYB8Db3DJC3MW
