‘What happened to dressing babies like babies?’ Mum rages as she spots rompers with CUTOUT details on the stomach
A MUM has been left outraged after spotting baby rompers with cutout details on the stomach.
The self-described “crunchy mum” was stunned when she saw the one-pieces, which featured a bow on the chest area and a cutout beneath.
“What happened to dressing babies like babies?” she wrote over her Instagram Reel.
“Putting a hole on a baby outfit isn’t necessary!”
“So unnecessary honestly,” she captioned the video.
“What do you think?”
And while her post vastly divided opinion in the comments section, there were a lot of people who agreed with her.
“Girl yes wtf. Have you seen the bathing suits? It’s awful,” one wrote.
“I got attacked on Facebook for saying the same thing about a baby no older than 1.5 wearing a crop top and small shorts,” another added.
“They call us the creeps but not the grown ass adults that design these clothes for literal babies and small children.”
“When I was a teen I volunteered at a thrift store sorting clothes,” a third commented.
“I vividly remember pulling out a red sweater from a bag.
“Size 2T with the words ‘Seks Kitten’ embroidered on the front.
“I threw it out, but it stuck with me and I’ve been hyper aware ever since.”
“Anyone who defends this trend of babies and children wearing inappropriate clothes needs their hard drive checking,” someone else said.
“Don’t gaslight me. I know what’s inappropriate or not.”
“Modesty doesn’t exist anymore and it’s sad,” another commented.
“100%!! And why do shorts barely even cover her nappy?!?!” someone else said.
“I’m telling you, boys shorts in the same size 6-9 months are SO much longer than the girls so I buy the boys!!
“And don’t get me started on bikinis for babies.”
“I work at target and unbox the clothes the little girls clothes keep coming with more and more unnecessary cutouts – the hips, the backs and fronts!” another raged.
“It’s crazy!”
“Y’all why are people so obsessed w making children look older than they are?” someone else said.
“Why can’t your kid look like a kid and not your girlfriend you go out with for drinks?”
However, others insisted they didn’t see an issue with the romper.
“I’m sorry but….it’s just a keyhole design?” one wrote.
“I don’t see what’s inherently wrong..?”
“It’s just the design? Why are we sexualising babies?” another questioned.
“There is nothing wrong with this!”
“Do not blame the clothing, blame the people,” a third said.
“These are cute!”
“It looks like a little swim suit for warm weather,” someone else commented.
“Babies don’t want to be too hot either!”
“I feel like y’all overthink what’s happening behind the scenes in a lot of cases,” another wrote.
“Clothing brands mainly follow trends.
“Dresses like these are increasingly popular.
“Holes in weird areas aren’t very uncommon in the fashion nor are they inherently sexual.”
