I took my earings out when I had my son cos he pulled at things and I didn't fancy my ears being ripped, so I wouldn't like to think that a baby could tug at an earing and tear her ear!

As for head ornaments, this thread has really made me laugh. My son went through a stage of wanting to wear my hair grips, all pink and ginghamy. I let him. He doesn't care about looking daft and I don't care if people mistake him for a girl! He may hate me for it when he's 12 though. (Although I'm sure he'll have stopped wearing the hair slides by then! He's only 1.)

Me too, my boys have all made up, worn nail varnish and hair accessories, and why not eh? They looked GORGEOUS. Though like you say, they may not thanks me when I pull out the family album in front of their girlfriends. Tee hee.

Babies shouldn't have their ears pierced. Why give birth to a little miracle and then go on to defile it. Aren't they beautiful ebough wihtout extra adornments?

this has made me laugh so much very impressed by some of the comments, my son is the same hes always had nail varnish on tried makeup and regularly dresses up in his sisters swan lake dress! as for the ear piercing my daughter was 4 1/2 and was told it would hurt like when she had her tonsils out (so she knew what pain was) and she still wanted them done, she was also told that if she fiiddled with them then they would be taken out and she also had to learn to clean them herself, which she did so i think maybe its down to what the kids are going to be like whan having this sort if thing done and she looks very sweet with her earings in!

Wouldn't it be easier to grow your daughters fringe out when she's old enough not to take the clips out?

It really bugs my 2yr old when her fringe keeps getting in her eyes. I've been growing her hair since she was born, but I always trim her fringe for her.

Sooooo funny!!!! I was in my local town today and there were some young girls sat on a bench with their babies....LO and behold.....tiny 'weeks old' baby sat on her Mums knee with a big BLUE frilly headband on, complete with gigantic read bow .....two words came to mind ........ EASTER EGG :rotfl:


p.s...my daughter kept a (tiny) clip in all day today :j

Errrrr No they dont wear Burberry !! lolololol

And yes we do have hair with a selection of stiff ringlets (a snack for later !), another problem is that baby shampoo wont wash her hair thoroughly and so I have to use "grown up" shampoo and hope we dont get it in her eyes!.

But still I havent relented and purchased a hair band !!

LOL - just come across this thread.I've just thrown a heap out this weekend that a relative brought over from Canada when my daughter was born. I tried one on her, thought she looked like an Easter egg and took it straight back off.

See....Spendless you have begun a new craze ....Easter Egg spotting :rotfl:

I can't stand baby headbands either, along with jewellery of any kind on babies, and those awful knitted bonnets with ribbons & whatnot threaded through and a big ruffle that goes all the way round the baby's face & makes its head look like a big sunflower.

My MIL has penchant for these types of things, and even though we are expecting a boy we are not convinced we can fend her off. Husband has told her already that if we get any 'sunflower' bonnets they are going in the bin lol!

If anyone's read Kaz Cooke's hilarious (yet informative) 'The Rough Guide to Pregnancy' she makes some amusing references to headbands and 'baldy babies'. I'm sure she likened them to Easter eggs as well. I can't help thinking of that now when I see them...thankfully not very often!
