Baby boys in tights....

[mooshie]

With this chilly weather upon us it has made me think how cute and cosy my little baby boy would be tights. Hubby thinks it is just me trying to get in on tights act as I am a mother of two boys. But i think tights can be for baby boys too?? Or am I just forcing my poor little boy to live out my dreams of babies in tights?

My son wears tights! And I think they were even boys' tights from Mothercare. He's 2 in Feb. Cosy, and no need to be just a girls' thing. Sometimes I want to put a clip in his hair but that's another story.

All my boys wore tights as babies, and all their friends did too - I thought everyone did it? I was very sad when they outgrew the habit. It just didn't seem to work for them after they were 2 or 3.

My son came home from nursery one day, having made a mess of his clothes, waering navy blue tights and long khaki shorts. I thought he looked great!

One day he did come home with hair clips - I think a message to me to cut his hair...

He has also worn pink t-shirts etc

Oh good, I am not mad then. Let tight purchasing commence!

Im sure in Norway it is the norm for little boys to wear tights?

I never thought of doing this - last winter my son wasn't walking, but could def do with another layer this year if we're not to go mad staying indoors. I've just bought a fleecy snowsuit for the same reason. Tights, yay!

My son wears tights. Keeps him warm and he looks soooo cute! Go for it :)

Do eeeeeeeeet.

My elder is now 3 1/2 and this is his first winter without tights - I thought they might cause confusion when he's going to the loo. But if it gets super-cold I might change my mind!

How can boys in tights be wrong?

It's fine - all champion jockeys wear tights under their breeches!

In Scandinavia we wouldn't even dream of sending our kids, boys or girls, out in in cold without tights for girls and little long johns for boys! As duchessofdulwich said, little boys do wear tights but mostly as little babies as we have long johns for even little baby boys in Scandinavia, very handy as the little boys are not keen on tights but are happy to wear "big boy" underwear like daddy! So for a couple of years now I've had mine shipped from Finland :)) I've actually been wondering about this and why e.g. H&M doesn't sell them here when they sell them in everywhere in Scandinavia! Just figured that maybe there was no demand but looking at this thread I'd imagine there would be?

my mother in law who is swedish/ norweigen, said she used to put my husband and his brother!! when they were little in tights or long johns.

You can get skiing base layers from Decathalon in childrens sizes,not sure what age they start at though.

New Zealand Nature on line do lovely silk tops & longjohnsfor children, maybe a UK on line company does baby sizes, though I think tights are fine for then for first couple of years.

think m&s might do them (out of stock in younger ages at moment): http://www.marksandspencer.com/Thomas-Friends%C2%A9-Thermal-Top-Bottoms/dp/B00425ONBQ?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_14&sr=1-14&qid=1290868602

need them at the moment!

love it! so cute

Both of my boys wore tights too. They were great as socks always came off.

I found them great last year when little sb was 7-10m. This year they are OUT OF THE QUESTION as there is no way on earth he will stay still for long enough for me to get them on him. And the fiddle with trousers and tights at nappy changes - unthinkable. So I've quite a few pairs of nice jersey/fleecy lined trousers and jeans and some knee socks from jojo that I'm hoping will be ok. What to do about freezing little hands and glove refusal though? And do you think it's wrong to put boys in uggs?
