What should you dress your young baby in to attend their grandfather’s funeral?
Question by enjoy-shoe-shopping: What need to you dress your young baby in to attend their grandfather’s funeral?
I am asking this question on behalf of a buddy.
Her father in termally ill and will probably not last till the end of the year.
She’s is currently two months pregnant and is hoping that her father will be around when her baby is born.
A black materinty dress is not a probelm even so she has asked me what she ought to dress her young baby in if it came down to it….I haven’t got a clue so i thought i would ask other people…
Must a baby wear black / white?

I wouldn’t think color would matter for a baby. Just something dressy. Most of the time they are covered by blankets etc anyway.

Navy blue I’d say.. or any darker color.

Like someone said before,I agree-definitly not black.
White is fine and really any other color,probably on the lighter side should be fine.

You can’t put a baby in black. IWhat do you think the grandfather would say? If it was me then white or bright colours for everyone at my funeral. I went to a funeral recently where they specified bright colours and it raised everyone’s spirits.

Just normal, smartish baby clothes.

The baby should be in his/her normal clothes. It is held that a baby is totally innocent and can’t be expected to mourn, being unable to understand the loss.

A lot of people think that the traditional black is no longer necessary for a funeral. Although a funeral is a very sad occasion it is also a celebration of the deceased person’s life.
Perhaps your friend could discuss this with her father? (If he is the type of man who is open to such conversation)
My 6 year old son died when his baby sister was 4 weeks old and his funeral was when she was 6 weeks old. Everyone wore something purple as this was his favourite colour. The baby wore some purple dungarees and matching fleece.
If the funeral is going to be one where everyone wears black then a baby should be the exception to this. Something plain but still ‘baby clothes’ would be appropriate.

Just normal baby clothes. I wouldn’t dress the baby as if he/she is in mourning. If the baby is a little girl go with a pretty dress, for a little boy go with a cute little outfit.

Honestly, if the baby is very young (like under 7 or 8 months) then it shouldn’t matter what they wear. Babies that young are exempt from the fashion rules of the adult world. I wouldn’t wear anything too “cute” though, or course nothing that looks like an easter dress with frills and pastels.

i wouldnt dress a baby or child in black, it doesnt look right. something smart but not sombre…its ok, no one will expect the baby to be in black.

Baby can wear any clothing. No one will expect the baby to be dressed in black or even sombre clothing.
