I am not sure if I have ever seen a girl wearing one of these in person. What do they do exactly?

This is the cattiest, funniest thread I've read in a long time. I don't usually like the catty ones, but the level of pure silly here is quite entertaining. Carry on!

Michelle and Anna Duggar put them on their baby girls.

Trashy indeed.

They announce your child's sex to the population at large. VERY handy if you're trying to have that arranged marriage set up by the first birthday.

Some infants are indeed ugly, as are many adults. Fortunately, some ugly infants grow into nice looking adults.

Fact of life, people - Quit being such Pollyannas!

And I, too, can't stand those dreadful headbands. I never tormented my daughter by placing such an ugly "ornament" on her head.

She doesn't, however, care in the least what any of you think of it. Nor do I.

And to the poster who added: "most of the infants are hideous as well" - I'm fairly sure that my daughter has better manners and judgment than you at 3 months.

Thanks for the wonderful exchange on this Wednesday morning.

Every time I see one I wonder why they didn't just write "GIRL" on her forehead in pink sharpie. I have the same reaction to the tiny sticking-straight-up-from-the-head-like-an-antenna ponytail.

Wow.

Baby haters and puppy kickers; please drain your teats of their barren sour liquids and form a line to the left.

You're just weird.

There's really nothing more to say than that.

I think mothers put headbands on their baby daughters to prove that they arn't hipsters.

I can see why it might appeal to parents of baby girls with no hair. There's no way anyone would confuse their baby girl for a baby boy with that huge flower in place. DD was born with tons of hair that always needs to be held out of her eyes with a hair bow or two, so we've never had that issue. On the other hand, my friend seems to rant daily about how no one can tell that her DD is not a DS, especially since she chose to be frugal and bought a lot of gender neutral clothing that she hopes to reuse with future kids. Maybe I will suggest big flower headbands to her.

My DD was born with just some fuzz, barely able to even call it hair and I would NEVER put one of these things on her.

Why would a parent be that upset over people mistaking their baby for a boy? They're just a baby. Like it matters. I personally wouldn't give a shit.
