I'm sure I have complained about this before.
I am finding it hard to find pretty, colourful baby clothes which are not specifically for a boy or girl.
There is so much white, beige and grey stuff for new babies. If the expected grandchild is a girl I can't bear to think of her in these dull colours, and take no pleasure in buying them! I have managed to find a couple of nice little suits from John Lewis, which are basically white with multi colour animals on. I have bought a couple of white outfits too.
What I am looking for doesn't seem to exist. A baby sleepsuit in mixed pastel colours - blue, pink, lemon aqua etc. Or one with an equal amount of pink and blue.
There best things I can find are in the baby girls sections, ones without too much pink. But I still haven't found what I want.
When I was expecting DD3 (and none of us knew what we were having back then) along with all the white and lemon I bought 2 lovely babygrows in white with ribbed stripes of all these pretty colours. They were lovely and would have been fine if she had been a boy.
I can't seem to find anything like that now.
I am making a gift basket of clothes, toys, nappies, wipes etc for the new baby as I did for the others. As I don't know what sex this baby is I haven't bought nearly as much as I did for the first three.
I know I can make up for it once the baby is here, but I want to have a few nice outfits in the box to give them before the baby arrives as I did with the others.
There must be a market for pretty non boring unisex baby clothes! Or perhaps not as I suppose the majority know what sex is expected nowadays.
