I have a master's degree and I think they're cute.

Do these silly, uncomfortable looking, head bands have to do with determining gender for strangers because I only see them on girls. Just put them in pink or a sticker that says, "I'm a girl."

And to people who buy clothes for their pets.

And to women who start "Why do you look so awful?" threads.

The headbands are ugly.

Honestly, I don't have enough of an opinion on this kind of thing to start a whole thread.

What I DO have an opinion on is why there isn't more green or red clothing in the girls' department.

Thank you! I don't necessarily mind pink, but couldn't a company offer a lot more color choices than just pink and purple? I have found some good stuff at Old Navy for girls that is not either of those colors!

Aww, c'mon. They're kinda cute, for special occasions. My daughter had a full head of hair from Day 1, and I never really felt the need to adorn it. She needed barrettes by 3 months, and that satisfied my dollbaby urges. But if I'd had a little cueball, I might have been tempted by something like this. Not for everyday. Just for a photo op or something.

Is there a correlation between educational levels and those who buy this shit?

Are you suggesting that highly educated women buy it? Bc I have a PhD.

Wow, awesome. Me too. They are fairly pricey, so pp makes a reasonable assumption

Some are hideous; some are not. The photo posted earlier seems kinda cute for a special occasion.

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.

Train wreck alert!

Wow, you have a strange definition of "train wreck." It's umm, a headband, not a reflection of bad parenting. I generally try not to judge parents on how they dress their children or on how they defend their choices. This whole thread is out of control.
