waaaahhh!! almost everyone mistakes my daughter for a boy!

OMG! She is absolutely, hugely adorable! What a cutie! If you hadn't have said she was a girl, I wouldn't have known whether she was a boy or a girl. Most babies are like that, in my opinion. When I was little, my mother put a little pink bow on my forehead so that people would know I was a girl. Have you considered that?

First let me tell you she's very cute....and if you hadn't pointed it out...I wouldn't really be able to tell if she's a girl or a boy! I've had that happen to me with my older son....people would mistake him for a girl all the time.....he had lots of hair and that didn't help one bit to correct them. He wasn't even a chubby baby. There was this one instance where someone even looked down his pants to make sure I was telling the truth when I told them he was a boy! In fact, I would think with my second one being chubby...people would mistake him to be a girl....but even though he had hair too....he someone had a boyish look (I feel) because no one ever mistook him for a girl.

I think that when babies are little like that people aren't sure, so they go by what they think they see. I think your daughter is adorable. Try dressing her in pinks and purples, or carry with you a pink blanket. People usually get that your baby is a girl. I don't know what your beliefs are, but when my daughter turned six months old I got her ears peirced. And no one has mistakened her for a boy since. Good luck.

That is one cute baby! I have a girl, my only daughter and after having three boys I was really pleased. Unfortunately she had no hair and looked like her brothers so people were always confusing her for a boy which used to upset me no end. Even when she was in pink one day, someone called her a him. It is hard not to take it personal, if I see a baby and I am not sure I ask the person whether it is a boy or a girl!

She is a very adorable baby. To be honest I wouldn't of been able to point out if she was a girl or a boy either. I don't mean to be mean here or anything but most times you can't tell if the baby is a boy or a girl when dressed only in a diaper. They don't have those features that pin point them out yet. I think it might be of the colors you dress the baby in. That could be it. Dress her more in pinks and cute little girl outfits and I am sure you won't have no trouble after that.

Oh my gosh your baby i so cute and let me just say SHE looks nothing like a boy. And you shouldn't worry about the hair thing it'll grow in its time till then you should just put a little ribbon on her head if the 'people calling her a boy thing' still is bothering you that way they definitely know its a girl cause no boys have ribbons or bows on their head.

Hi kaye, [i]She is very cute and adorable really! I will not think that she looks like a boy! I agree with you, maybe they are looking her hair and judge right away! She has a nice cheek..lol! I am dreaming now to have a baby! LOL![/i]

She is absolutely gorgeous! I'd love to give her a big kiss on the chubby cheeksI have a girl myself and no, she did not get mistaken for a boy.. I didn't give them the opportunity to as I'd dress her head to toe in pink or something really girlie (although this was not the aim really.. I always wanted a girl and I had all the girlie gear ready as I started shopping as soon as I knew!) People who have no kids usually make this mistake not knowing how the parents may feel, some are subtle enough to ask 'what's your name?' aimed towards the child but for the mum to answer and go from there.. Mine also had loads of hair but there's boys too with loads of hair when they're born so I do not think it's a determing factor. You can also put small ribbons in her hair even if it's short It doesn't matter when they're this little that people get it wrong, they do not mean to and it's them that get embarassed actually...

Most people don't pay attention to the things that the kids are wearing. I have two boys and one girl. My daughter is two, has long hair in pigtails, and wears dresses all the time and people say, "Is your child a boy or a girl?" I think that the correct thing was said earlier. When people say what a cute baby boy she is, just smile and say "Yes, she is cute isn't she." Since it's usually in passing anyway, no one will be embarrassed. After all, they were complimenting her. :)

hi kaye, i have a daughter just like her, and she also looked like a boy, maybe the problem is the hair. What i always ask my wife is to make sure our baby always wear a girls dress and put an earrings to her. ^ ^ sorry for my english ^^

Hi kaye. I had this problem a little bit with my daughter. She too was chubby little newborn. The way I helped this problem was I always made sure she was dressed in cute little pink dresses. After I started dressing her this way, I always got remarks on what a beautiful little girl she was. People surely can't mistake your baby for a girl if she is dressed all in pink, especially if her clothing is a dress. Good luck until the little sweetie gets lots of hair!

awwwwwwwwwwwww, shes adorable! very cute! And she does look like a girl to me. I babysit sometimes, and the kid i take to the park is mistaken for a boy also...lol, but she har earings and everything...i guess people is people you know...dont feel ofended or anything, shes a baby, and yet has lots to grow! And yes, its very understandable you correct them, and that the right thing to do, i get a little weirded out too when they call the little girl i take care of a boy...shes like my little sister :P But anyways, like i said, people are people you know. Shes very cute! congratulations!

She's so cute...oh my with those eyes! Now, I envy you. I don't have a girl and I only have one child and is a boy. But hey she doesn't look like a boy. I'm also like that big when I was a baby, I was big and round and so chubby. But my mother never stops defending me even if I look like a sumo wrestler in my diapers. But I grew up healthy and that's all that matters. Make her as comfortable as she should be, so she would grow up healthy.

I guess it is very normal that when they still young, lot of people cannot recognize our children if they are boy or girl specially if chubby & no hair he he he, like my friend daughter.

She is very cute, but to be honest i would have guessed boy if I seen just the face. It is just hard at this age to know gender, especially with chunky cheekes hiding the line of the jaw. Don't let it bother you as my girls were born bald and 1 never had much more than peach fuzz until she was 6 months old and it was still pretty short when she was a year old. If it bothers you som much be sure to dress her in pink and lavender always. And never use any blues or greens when you are in public, including blankets. I always had my girls in fancy girly shoes or in pinks so that people would know without asking. I also tied a pink ribbon to her binky (pacifier). She will come into her feminine looking self soon.

Don't be upset to it, she will grow up to be a pretty girl soon:) I remember when my son was a baby, many people thought he was a girl because he has more hair and he has big charming eyes. But now, I think nobody say he is a girl any more. Otherwise this person may be blind:) I love China

The baby is very cute, no doubt about that. I love chubby baby. She is still young what an angel you got there. Don't worry her hair will grow soon.

First off, your baby girl is beautiful! I know you must be one proud parent. I used to have a friend who had this same problem when her little girl was a baby. Everyone was always telling her how cute "He" was. I never really understood this b/c even though she had very little hair, she had very delicate, girly features and I didn't think she looked boyish at all. However, my friend was so upset about this she started buying all kinds of girly outfits that had matching hats or headbands. That baby must have worn pink everyday of her 1st year just because her mommy wanted everyone to be sure that she was a girl. After her hair came in and started getting longer she never had this problem again.

Your baby is adorable. When I see babies like newly born to around 4-5 months. I could not determine if its a boy or a girl. I usually have to guess it or wait until the parents of the baby tells me. The most common thing I did was, I look around the clothes, the things, the bag of the baby. If most of the colors are pink or red, then it must be a girl, and if its more on blue or green, then it could probably be a boy. Don't be sad, soon everybody will know that she's a girl.
