Is it event safe to reuse pacis? I figure by the time I have a child at the same size paci the chewy part is unsafe to use. Don't know.
But DS loved a pink paci DH bought him when he was born. Would never leave the house wihtout it

I personally think the stroller is more a reflection of my personality than the baby's. My daughter is currently in a blue stroller (the horror!). A bright pink stroller is not my taste, but yeah, if it were, I'd use it with all the kids. Some girly stuff will definitely get reused, like the pink swaddlemes, random "girly" toys, etc. Honestly now, unless I dress my daughter in all barbie pink, I mostly get comments about my 'adorable boy'...Even if she's in girly clothes! Even with a bow in her hair! If it's not pink, apparently it's a boy.  But who cares what strangers think?
And let's be honest, the baby doesn't care!

Same here. If she is wearing a green flowered stretchy she becomes a boy. maybe its the lack of hair.

For stuff in the house, like baby swing or bouncer, sure... but outside stuff no.
Bat as a rule I get neutral stuff so that it wouldn't matter...
Also, clothes, I would stick to blues and greens for boys and pinks and purples for girls.

I took my son around in a pink stroller a handful of times. Before his upsherin and after. He loved it and I totally did not care what others thought. It was the only umbrella stroller we have.

Lol. I got a pink diaper bag when my daughter was born and my husband was just concerned about what if we have a boy next? Do we need a new diaper bag? Hm, who is wearing the bag, me or the baby?
In general, though, I do like gender neutral, colorful items. DD's stroller is colorful but I've gotten comments about it that it's smart I'm using it for a girl, because it so wouldn't work for a boy. Just one of the many parenting opinions I'll encounter and respond with 'smile and nod'.

My sister gave me her purple stroller and my son loves it. I don't think it's a huge deal at all.

My son has a handful of items in pink just because the pink option was prettier than the blue or green option . I like it so who cares

It's not the hair, because my gal has loads of hair and I still get comments! She also has long eyelashes. I think sometimes people just default to "boy unless proven otherwise"

I don't think the baby cares one way or the other.

I have usually been careful trying to get pretty neutral items but when I felt I needed an activity mat for my 7th (a girl) because I was a WAHM, and the price was right on a used pink one, I went with it. No clue if I will ever use it again, or if it would be for a boy, but there shouldn't be a reason not to, even if it feels a tad funny. But since I'm no longer WAH and I managed 6 kids without it, I might very possibly not re-use it even if I am zoche to have more children.
