My son is 12 months old and uses a pacifier. I don’t want him using it anymore but Im not sure how to go about it. I’ve had people tell me to wean him slowly like I did with nursing and I’ve had others tell me to just take it away immediately. Based on your experiences what worked best
Are/Were you as attached to it as your child?

Baby boy clothing size?

I’m due in February with a baby boy and I’m not sure what size clothes I should be buying. My mother-in-law keeps buying 3-6 and 6-9 month winter clothes for him. She think that he’s going to wear 3-6 months clothes when he’s born and be in 12 months clothes by summer and i’m worried that they are going to way to big. I am a small person (5’3" and 100lbs before I got pregnant) and my husband is pretty average size (around 6′) and I don’t think our baby is gonna be that big. I don’t wanna be rude and tell her that I think she’s crazy LOL but I don’t want to have all of these clothes that i’m not gonna be able to use. Please help me!
P.S. I’ve tried to mention that friends of mine babies wore Newborn to 0-3 months at birth, and she just kinda blows it off, and says "Well your baby isn’t gonna be like that" like she’s expecting me to have a 15lb baby or something! LOL

TODDLER BOYS & CLOTHING QUESTION?

I’m not second guessing myself nor am I going to change what I am doing but I am curious..

My son is 2. He now has an opinion on what he wears. Most of the time I do pick out his clothes but once in a while I let him pick something out as well.

Both times we left Old Navy and Buy Buy Baby he came out with Kai-Lan shirts. They are both for girls. He has NEVER seen this TV show before but he has always been obsessed with colours. That was the first thing that he learned by pointing and the first thing he learned how to say as well. Kai-Lan shirts have lots of colour usually. He holds onto these shirts with all of his might until he can put it on once we get home.

Anyway, my question, would you let your son wear a girl’s shirt if he wanted or do you just tell him no right away? One of the Kai-Lan shirts he wears as is but the other one I did actually have to cut the sleeves off because they were ruffled.

From what I’ve seen in the stores, American’s tell their son/daughter it’s a BOY shirt or it’s a GIRL shirt. Most of the Japanese kids don’t care. My son’s best friend, Kosei, who’s 3, wears boy clothes but has hot pink crocs. He wears them in public. My son, along with the rest of the kids in our neighbourhood who are boys ranging from 12 months to 5 years old ALL wear girl pants. It’s as close as we can find to Japanese pants while in the states.

First picture is a Kai-Lan shirt I’m asking about
Second picture is my son wearing girl pants, like all of his friends.

No TD from me.
For the last 2 photos are of the other Kai-Lan shirt that I did decide to cut the sleeves off after taking the pictures a couple days ago because it IS a really girly shirt. I don’t mind the graphics but I thought it was the best thing to do cutting the sleeves off.

Does it make a difference to you which Kai-Lan shirt you’d let your son wear? Would you only let him wear the one that is more of a unisex or would this second one be alright as well after the cut?

It’s so funny to me how much each culture is different from the next. No matter which ones are being compared.
Hey Momma -
I did look at Gap. They are alright as well but I didn’t see any with the flare leggings like the ones we have now.
Who am I -
I don’t feel as if I’m giving him control. I have no problem with letting my child dress in a way that makes him happy. It’s not like we go strolling down the girl’s isle. When you shop at Old Navy or Buy Buy Baby, all the graphic t’s are in the same spot. So I could see Batman, Spiderman, Strawberry Shortcake and Kai-Lan on the same shelf.

This isn’t a control issue at all. I don’t see many rainbows or shirts with lots of colours in the boy sections of places or I’m sure he would pick some of them up as well.

My son is over a year old and I have bins upon bins of his clothing ranging in sizes preemie to 12 months. I was going to go through and donate the majority of it but by the time I went through all those bins I only had a small pile of donate (about 10 outfits total) for some reason I couldn’t part with anything else.
Am I a wacko or do other moms (and dads) get attached to their child’s baby clothing??

I’m trying to tell myself that since he will never wear those again the sane thing is to donate them!

I used to be so anti pacifier. I thought it was so ugly to see a walking child with a paci. Now that my son takes one and it gets him to sleep easily, I love it! Except for the fact that they are ugly, why do they say take it away at 9-12 months?
