Im placing an order for LO's gumdrop pacis (4mo DS)

I've ordered 3 paci savers & was wondering what mamas thought about boys wearing purple or having purple pacis? I was going to get a blue, orange and purple paci to match these..





To me it seems the same as orange in the sense that its unisex.. but i do see it more on girls which makes me wonder if im being silly for wanting a purple paci for DS?

I think it'd look cute & suit Eeyore on his pooh paci saver  

WDYT?

I'd let my boys rock pink. I give no smurfs. lol

All colors are unisex to me.

Honestly no one is going to care what color his pacifier is. People aren't going to walk up and point at him: "HAHA, PURPLE PACIFIER YOU BISEXUAL INFANT!"

Hes actually got a electric purple shirt - i think its got a band name on it with a guitar or something.

I like purple - pampers have purple diapers and they seem unisex enough to me haha!

I just wanted to know if i was being weird wanting purple & what other mamas thought about the colour.

I know OTHERS will think it's girly but I personally wouldn't care. My son wears his hair in pony tails for God's sake... Lol.

My boy would rock it.  

I think many, many other people though, see it as a 'girl' color.

Im more worried about him being mistaken for a girl LOL!

I think purple is unisex, but i wondered how many would jump to assumptions & think DS was a girl if he had a purple paci.


I was out shopping with our eldest DS (dressed in unisex colours - soft lime green/yellow when he was about 3 mo) a few people walked up & said 'Ohhh shes got gorgeous eyes! what a beautiful little girl' hahaha  

I've placed my order!  

1 blue
1 orange
1 purple

Hes going to rock it regardless haha!

I think purple leans more toward a 'girl' color but I don't pay much attention to it, to be honest. I have had people call my daughter a her when she was wearing all pink with a bow in her hair (as a very young baby). And now it's all popular for guys to wear pink and purple anyway. So to me it's whatever.

I don't think the paci color really matters. My daughter sucks girl & 'boy' pacifiers. If it was clothes it'd be different.

I think its always been known as more of a girl color...but now days people don't really worry about what color their kids are wearing or what color their pacifiers are   My sons had purple bottles and I could care less. This also reminded me of when my daughter was a baby...I had her decked out in pink all the time, with a pink carrier and pink blanket...and many people told me I had a beautiful son...lol

I think people are more harsh on boys if im honest.

A girl wearing blue, sucking a blue paci etc doesn't matter, but if you dressed a boy in all pink and gave him a pink paci it'd be like   uhhh why?

LOL

I've got him purple anyway  

I like it!

I was in Toys' R Us one day and a little boy came up to play with my daughter by the power wheels, he was wearing a bright pink boa, carrying a pink umbrella and went straight for the pink escalade. Very flamboyant little boy and I was so happy that his mother was breaking gender barriers. I mean, pink is a pretty freakin' color. Boys should be able to enjoy it too.

My oldest DS's favorite color is purple. My youngest DS has a pony tail and gets his toenails painted regularly. In our book, everything is unisex.

I've actually found a lot of cute boy stuff with pink.
Obviously it's some kind of statement now haha.

I think strict gender types/roles/rules are a recipe for disaster, though..
