blue and pink, do you follow it ?

I am the grandmother of a baby girl. I have bought many things for her but nothing in pure pink. She looks good in all sorts of colours. I think it is important not to start stereotyping at an early age. Just recently I bought her a reversible little shift dress. It is purple on one side and turquoise and orange on the other. So cute.

I don't really follow the blue and pink colour schemes for boys and girls. I will dress a boy in any colour aslong as its not pink and aslong as its not a dress or girls clothing. A girl can be dressed in boys and girls clothing because they both look nice on them, and you can still tell they are a girl. ~ Joeys wife

As a grandparent I liked buying a varitey of colors...not just the typical blues and pinks. They have such cute clothes out there in asssorted colors so why stick to the mondane typical stereotype articles.

You can choose what your baby girl wears. Just remember if she is wearing blue people will think she is a boy or will criticize you.

My baby daughter doesn't wear much blue I admit and she is olive complected so green is not her color. Pink happens to be my favorite color, brown being next. So she wears lots of pink and brown. I also love her in lavender, yellow and white though. Whenever she wears brown everyone assumes she is a little boy. It annoys me, but what can you do? We decided against piercing her ears.

certainly not i wont choose the bubbling colours out...aprt i would choose the dress format in such a way it must suit the person like wise the appearence os the person should be dignified and what ever the colour it amy be!!

yes blue for boys.....................

My son is at the moment dressed in a blue-green sleeper with pink and purple flowers on it. He also owns sleepers in green, blue, and pink. He loves pink and looks good in it actually. :P His regular clothes are mostly in typical "boy" colors, but when I can find cute items in softer colors for him, I buy them. He simply looks good in pastels, and he likes them. He gets very excited when I dress him in those colors. I don't really care about gender roles, colors for boys and girls, and all that kind of junk. I don't dress my son in dresses, but he can wear any color he likes, and he happens to like both pastels and darker colors. :)

When my first daughter was born she did not wear a stitch of blue until she was over a year old. I kept her in all shades of pinks, yellows, and purples. When my first son was born his clothes were almost all blue and only a few greens and yellows. Then my second daughter was born and she had mostly the girl clothes but she did have quite a few of the boy's clothes. After her I have had 3 boys. They haven't been dressed in any girls clothes but they definitely haven't been in all blue either. My 4 1/2 year old boy loves pink and I support him in it even though it means going against his oldest brother, grandpa and Dad. Colors are just colors, they don't mean anything and there shouldn't be rules.

I don't think much about the code of color - However, I have 3 boys and would I go and buy something that is pink - probably not. But, my sons all wear all other colors - there may be a hint of pink in some things, especially like their plaid over shirts, but I wouldn't buy something that is all pink unless I had a girl - which I am hoping to have someday, I am getting a little 'taken over' with testosterone.. :P Anyway, my step son, he's eight his favorite color is yellow, so is my hubbys. So, I really don't think much of the whole code of color. Like others have said, it's cute for when the baby was first born, after that, no matter how you dress your kid, you are always being asked, boy or girl, or "what a cute girl!" when it's a boy...

My wife and I don't usually follow color codes for choosing dresses for babys. We buy clothes that look cute, neat and comfortable for the baby. As long as a baby girl or boy won't be mistaken as a boy or a girl in her/his dress, I think it should be okay not to have color codes.

my sister has a boy and a girl so when i buy things for my niece (she's older) i tend to buy neutral colors so they can both wear them at some point. especially since they grow so fast!

I have a son, and it is easier to find a variety of colors for boys than for girls it seems. I look at the girls' section and it's just a sea of pink, with an occasional drop of white, yellow or purple. For boys there is blue, green, yellow, red, orange, brown, gray. I try to dress my son in a variety of colors because sticking to baby blue would get boring.

I have a boy. When he was little it was pretty much that way. Pastel blue or yellow for a little change (and only now and then). I solved this by going garage saleing. I don't know where they get their clothes, but I found bright colors, dark colors, and all sorts of color. Also with a girl, you can mix in "boy" clothes with something pink. If you dress her in all "boy" clothes people will think she is a boy. Throw in a pink blanket and that isn't likely. Although, Marcus (my 16 month old) will be wearing a red and gray outfit with race cars on it, his bright blue eyes, and curly blond hair and people will still say, "Awww, what a beautiful little girl!"

i think that decorating for a baby shower using blue for boys and pink for girls is cute, but when it comes to clothing and accessories for babies - any color should be allowed for both sexes. when i have children i won't dress a girl in all pink or a boy in all blue. i'll mix up colors and buy whatever looks cute.
