I have two sons, and at certain times they have both decided pink was their favorite color. So I guess if you're going to generalize that "girls like pink" then I can also generalize that boys like pink. It's a color. Liking it is arbitrary and not at all related to sex or gender.

My son loved pink when he was around 2 and continued it until 5. You couldn’t tell him nothing. He is 5 now and he hates pink. He will say it’s for girls. Thank you, corrupted kindergartners…

Mood.

Lol, no. No one needs a Harvest Gold onesie

Someone get the child some vertically-striped slacks

Here you go:


Or perhaps your child might like this delightful latch hook vest:


Or this:

Every time I look at my beautiful little girl, I think to myself, "Barrymore collars. That's what she needs, Barrymore collars".

Someone got DD a bunch of gender neutral infant clothes, and while they were very elegant and tasteful and well-made, holy crap did they make her look ugly. Wore them out in public and heard someone say "that baby looks like a grumpy old man". After that, it was all dresses and pink and bows and she looked SO much better, like the sweet little girl she was.

I also made a lot of clothes on my own that were feminine without necessarily promoting stereotypes. Example, I made her Avengers, dinosaurs, etc outfits that were in blues, reds, yellows, and greens, but also with skirts and ruffles and bows. So very obviously a girl, but with styles beyond just unicorns and flowers.

What concerns me more than the color or style is the message it sends. When DD was born, I looked everywhere for a superhero shirt, and all I could find was one that said "I'm a superhero because I help mom out!" Meanwhile the boys had Avengers, Superman, Batman, etc.

It's a little better now, but even so, girls are limited to just Wonder Woman and Batgirl. Which is a shame, because DD absolutely *loves* Batman. She doesn't want Batgirl, she wants Batman. I think we should celebrate girls who want to wear Batman and T Rex, and just as importantly, boys who want to wear Wonder Woman and Frozen.

We had ab/cd … like the band ac/dc.

Anything like that?

Novelty onesies? Yeah, there are millions of them. Google search.

I’m too old to know which young people like

None. Seriously. Search for a Beatles onsie or another classic band. Skip the tired abc “joke”. Target, surprisingly, has great rich baby shirts.

Beatles? How old are you?

What business is it of yours? Ageist much? What else -- sexist? racist?

I hate hate hate pink. the only pink my baby girl wore was from gifts. I would never myself buy clothes that color.

My boy also wore those few pink clothes we still had when he came along.

Sexism from day 1? No way.

When I had my 2nd child, a boy, he wore mostly mostly pink clothes the first year as they were his sister's hand-me-downs. I could not stomach the thought of wasting money on "boy clothes" when it could be going to his education fund.

No way would I put a baby boy in pink.

Beatles kids clothes are trendy right now. Even Walmart has them.

You see lots of shades of gray in baby clothes now-that's neutral.

OP, I'm fine with pink but not so much with leopard prints or sparkle explosions...when 6yo dd was born, several sweet generous family/friends gave us just that LOL!

I just used those around the house, and used my preferred clothes for going outside the home and pictures. They grow so fast and pee/poop/spit up so much that you need to change often anyways.

I did try to stay neutral for baby equipment though. A stroller doesn't need to be pink, that ensures that you can never give it away to a boy baby (well, you could-but really the parents probably don't want it).
