baby headbands??

Savvy_Sue

Apart from anything else, wouldn't it restrict the baby's skull from developing properly if you left one of these on for any length of time? And if it isn't tight enough to do that, won't it fall down over their eyes all the time?

Can't see the point, myself ...

feathery hats?i mean those big silly white hats with feathers and bows and ribbons on them, cant find a picture to show you.
no defenetly not putting one on now, TOTALLY gone off them.my baby sophie who is 10 weeks now IS absolutly georgeous and doesnt need anything to say she is a little girl ive decided, although that picture with the baby with the hat on wasnt what i was on about, simalar but the ones i was on about were alot more dainty than that.
i dont think they would do any harm to the babys head either, you wouldnt leave them on all day, and you wouldnt buy anything that was tight or too small.

What a great thread this is... had me in stitches!!! My little girl had a head band when she was one - not one of those thick ones though, just a little thin Winnie the Pooh one. BUT it was to stop her looking like Barry Evans - she had a really fine fringey bit at the front and then it went long on top and quiffed back into curls. I had to put one on her to try and flatten it down on top. It definitely wasn't one of those cringey American type ones. Still giggling now - it was the Easter Egg comment that did it!!!

Where I grew up in Liverpool, loads of people wore those silly hats, there's even a stall in the shopping precinct that still sells that type of thing now.

I agree they don't do any harm,

I must admit I did also try fimbles one on my 10 week old, I didn't learn from my first daughter, I just couldn't resist seeing what she would look like (very silly).

Awww scooper, you made the right choice

I WISH I could put something on my 18 month olds head to keep her hair out of her eyes. She won't wear alice bands, clips, bobbles....anything!!! Her fringe is halfway down her nose but I want it to grow long so I'm not cutting it. Maybe I should glue it out of the way

just thought im quite amused of the response i got from this question, its baaen funny to hear other peoples views!
plus i feel quite embaresessd that i was going to put one on sophie, but relieved that i never!!hahaha

Have you tried MotherCare?

Although I'm inclined to agree with the "don't do it" gang, why do you want your poor baby to look like her head has been wrapped up as a gift?!

got same problem with my 2 year old daughter, but she does have a short fringe, so it isn't in her eyes

yes...i have bought loads of little babygros with matching hats for my impending arrival, but then reading this remembered all the hats my sister had when she was a baby that ended up unworn..they don't generally like having things on their head
