Ahhhh!
Hi Mummies,
This post contains lots of ranting so beware. We have decided not to find out the sex of this baby as we wanted it to be a suprise, however now im finding that i cnt get organised with clothes and stuff because everything is colour co-ordinated. Iv bin shopping on numerous occassions and have seen some lovely outfits, but they are either pink or blue, ahhh! Any of the neutral stuff that seems to be around i just dnt like. Maybe im been fussy and abit choosy but i cnt understand why they cnt make the same outfits in pink, blue and a neutral colour, er hello not everyone finds out the sex of their baby! OH keeps telling me not to get stressed and just have a few bits in and then we can go shopping with our new bundle wen its born, but i feel like im been cheated of that shopping urge that all us mums-2-b get. I didnt have this problem last time because we found out the sex and now im beginning to wish we had found out this time round as well. Is anyone who has not found out the sex having the same problem, or am i just been fussy? Kerry xxx

Asda have some nice neutral stuff only a few though and in there they mainly sell babygrows in neutral rather than clothes
Woolworths has a nice range of neutral clothes too, but they are a bit more expensive for baby clothes than other places.
Also Peacocks do really beautiful outfits in neutral and they are really cheap there - however it does depend on the size of the shop as to how many baby items they have in.
I haven't really spent much time in there as ours is only tiny, but I know that Ethel Austin sometimes have neutral clothes in, but have been told it is luck as to time of year and suppliers there

No ur not being fussy, we decided not to find out sex of baby, but now its driving me mad , there isnt much choice of neutral clothes and it drives me mad when the boy and girl baby clothes are in the sale and the neutral are not lol. i have seen some nice lemon, mint and white outfits in mothercare.

I think more clothes should be neutral really, after all only 50% of mums to be choose to find out the sex so you'd think there would be more choice. Like Zoey, I did see a lot of nice neutral clothes in Matalan a while back (we have some really cute bodysuits!) but not sure if they still do them. Tbh in matalan there was more neutral things than pink or blue, we had some cute cream cardigans as well. xxx
Trouble is I'm really fussy about baby clothes though. Both hubby and I like quite simple bold designs and I'm dreading gifts with fussy logos or cartoon characters.
My sister has got me a nice little black and white outfit (mothercare) and I also found a little white romper with a suitably neutral green on it but other than that I think its a question of wait and see ...
However if you like bold patterns blooming marvellous does some nice bright nimal print/spotty body and sleepsuits (which are in the sale now) and a lovely red fleece coat.. it's not much but they are really cheerful. The website is:
