Why can't babies be dressed like babies?
TWENTY years ago when my babies were little, they were in their prams nestled in a cloud of white blanket, snug in soft pastel baby-grows and cosy cardigans.
Now glance into a pram and lying there will be a little 'new born labourer', dressed in denim jeans, striped T-shirt and navy blue hoodie. Tiny baby girls in black or drab dresses, with what appears to be a garter round their heads (it can't possibly be comfortable). Little baby boys dressed as miniature granddads in old fashioned Argyle pull-overs, dark anoraks, duffel coats and sometimes with a flat cap – only replacing the pipe with a dummy! Come on mums, babies grow up so quickly; they have all their lives to wear jeans, lumberjack shirts and overalls.
If this is designer wear, then how about reversing the trend and once again dressing your little ones as babies, (they often look like little refugees). Baby girls in pretty dresses and little boys in cute outfits are so much more appealing than the unattractive current baby wear.

“I most thoroughly do not agree. As long as a child is well cared for and loved then who are you to judge what you see when you 'glance' into others prams? It us perfectly acceptable to have your oppinion on how you like infants to be dressed however, to let it bother you to an extent that you deemed it necessary to write into your local press complaining about how other mothers dress their very own children is just plain ridiculous. I for one can assure you that my daughter has been spoilt with love and affection from day one, but has also been draped in a rainbow of colours from day one too! Actually, at 4 months old she had the cutest yellow skinny jeans that she wore with a funky t shirt and converse... Oh and a pair of sunglasses! Maybe next time you judge a child's appearance you should think more of their overall treatment.”
