[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you wan to dress your child you should be able to do so. Why does your wife decide what the baby wears?

Many people dress their babies in clothes, it is normal. If there is an outfit you like or end any to wear (maybe gift giver is visiting), put it on baby.

Is your wife controlling in other ways?[/quote]

Not usually she’s just very particular about how things are done with him.

She thinks that he doesn’t nurse as well in the outfits with pants because the waistband is too tight on his stomach.  It’s not.  It fits fine and he doesn’t seem uncomfortable [b]I’m concerned it’s new mom anxiety on a whole new level. [/b][/quote]

This is funny because you’re describing your new dad anxiety that’s on a different planet.

It sounds like if you want your son in your special outfits all you have to do is dress him and change his diaper. Instead you want to control how your wife dresses your son. That’s a bit much. [/quote]

Isn't it a bit much that his wife changes the baby out of whatever OP puts on the kid?  [/quote]

No because the baby is less than a month old and likely goes through 2-4 outfits a day. At that age, babies spit up and have blowouts more frequently -- they are just tiny organic machines the eat, sleep, and ooze out of all their orifices (sorry, it's true).

So no, it's actually totally normal that the wife is changing the baby out of the clothes OP is putting on the kid, because likely she'd be changing the babies clothes multiple times a day anyway. It's just that she'd be exchanging one cotton onesie for another and no one would care because it doesn't matter what clothes you put an infant in.

As many others have pointed out, OP is welcome to just change the baby himself, and then he can switch the child from one three piece ensemble to another if he so wishes. Though I bet after a day or two of wresting an infant out of his matching corduroys and sweater vest combo (now soiled from a diaper leak) and into an adorable matching sailor top and paints, and then watching the baby instantly spit up what seems like a gallon of milk on the fresh outfit, he'll be grabbing a clean onesie out of the bin next to the change table like his wife is.[/quote]
