It is definitely still okay, however I don’t like the traditional “baby blue” colour for boys and find it quite infantile. I do however like navy etc and the same for girls, I do not like the “baby pink” but strawberries or flowers etc are totally fine, just personal preference

I think it is still ok to buy either colour, but maybe ask the parents what they would prefer or would they like neutural colours. I feel that society is too sensitive these days about these sorts of things. I get that times have changed with DV, gender equality etc, but if someone buys/makes something blue for a boy or pink for a girl, just be grateful that the person has spent the time to either buy or make that item.

As someone who works in equity and is involved in gender equity research, including what contributes to gender based violence, DV and gender pay gaps, I don’t think people take offence as stereotype colours, but they should! Pointing out differences between genders is one of the things research shows us contributes to our obscene gender based violence problem in Australia, and colour coding kids based on their genitalia reinforces that as a thing. Obviously with tiny babies they can’t chose clothing etc, but a balance of colours and themes (ever noticed how ‘boy’ clothes are all predator animals (eg dinosaurs sharks, tigers) but ‘girls’ clothes are predominantly prey (rabbits, deer, etc,)?) can be helpful with the subconscious signalling that will help shift the dial and reduce the DV rates

I think you need to know the person. I think the majority of people would agree with you and still enjoy pink (or similar pretty colours) for a girl or blue for a boy. I think if the person you are buying for has alternate opinions they would have let you know, because those types of people tend to be very vocal lol.

I would think that generally it is ok, although it might be something you can determine depending on the parents. I know when I was pregnant, I asked that people not buy pink or boy as I didn’t find out the sex, but that was only because I didn’t want things I would not use.

I really cannot imagine anyone being offended by pink or blue baby gifts; colours are simply colours and a label does not need to be placed on them. The gift and the care taken to choose something and give is the important thing. Our children have gone through the spectrum of loving and wearing different colours.

I think it’s fine, but it’s really up to the parents and how they feel. When my daughter was about two, she went through a pink phase and there’s nothing on earth I could have done to stop her wearing pink! Re babies, if in doubt I choose a pastel yellow. That doesn’t seem to offend anyone.

yes it is totally fine to buy pink items for a girl. I think we tend to worry too much. You should know the person you are buying for and hopefully know what would be suitable, if you don’t, something white is always nice as this can be used for both boys and girls.

Yeah Pink for girls and blue for boys is alright on occasions like 1st Birthday.
Its nice to dress them in other colours then that I love to see boys in green beige and even red.
Girls I love to see in pastel colours and yellow or orange but not Black.

I go with all sorts of colours and always have for baby clothes. I choose the style, fit and comfort over the colour. If the item happens to be pink or blue it does not matter. I have bought both colours for all of the babies of family and friends and no one has objected.
