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 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

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?

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.

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?

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
