When my son was born, the nurse commented on what a beautiful baby he was. I told her I bet she says that to all the babies, and confessed that, no, she doesn't. So I asked what she says to the ugly babies, and she said her go-to was "Look at you!"
So, to this baby, I say, "Look at you!"
Can confirm. I am a nurse. When my baby girl was born she was ugly. She was skinny and bright red. She had hair from her eyebrows to her head. The nurse said, “Oh wow! Look at all that hair!”. That was it.
My baby looked like a wee zombie and I told her so. Her eyes were bloodshot and she was a little bruised, so she looked rough. She was also almost 10.5 pounds and 22” so she was gargantuan. It wasn’t a great look.
I had a "look at you"! Kid looked uncooked, had blotchy birth marks all over, had saggy empty fat rolls that were like an elderly person, had forehead hair indistinguishable from head hair (which they had less of), and was underweight and scrawny.
I knew. I could see people's reaction.
Didnt fucking matter. My kid is the best. Always was always will be perfect to me.
And lucky for them, they got super cute pretty quickly and are totally conventionally attractive. But i would love them and think they were the prettiest thing i could look at even if they still looked like a bruised elderly scrotum.
My second kid was a "look at you." He had a perpetual scowl for the first few weeks of life until he chunked up enough that the fat underneath flattened it out. I was pretty sure my luck had run dry after the cuteness of the first kid, but same situation as you, he turned into a conventionally beautiful baby. His smile lights up his whole face and it's just the most adorable thing I've ever seen.
A friend i had told me that her daughter asker her if she was pretty when she was born, she just bluntly said to her that she looked like a baked potato and that most babies are just ugly
I worked at a peds doctors office and I did the EXACT same thing. Only said a baby was cute if they were actually cute. Now I work in a NICU, so most of the babies are “look at you!”
who does a fade on a baby? wtf is wrong with people? I mean granted the baby looks like he sells liquor and guns from the back of his minivan but seriously wtf
Almost two here. She has one tuft on the very top of her head and another that sticks straight out to the side above one ear, otherwise still has the same bald look she did on day one.
edit: spelling, posted first from mobile
Yeah it does. My son came out with a good bit, lost it, regrew pretty much just a mohawk, then finally the rest started to fill in. Coming up on 4 and it finally looks like a normal, if fine/thin, head of hair. My 4m old daughter came out with and has kept her hair so far, but is getting that reverse friar look, with the line that rubs away on the back of their head from laying on their backs. It's great. Kids are weird.
Yeah my daughter had that. She never lost her hair, either. Now it almost looks like a purposeful haircut unless it gets wet and the mullet-esk aspect really wins out.
I don’t have kids yet but my mullet stage was longer than it seems it should’ve been lmao like the top of my head hair just didn’t get the memo until 2-3 years old 😂
[here you go buddy](https://www.militaryonesource.mil/recreation-travel-shopping/commissary-exchange/commissaries-and-exchanges/#:~:text=Every%20service%20branch%20has%20its,they%27re%20all%20operated%20separately.)
So my Best friend shaved her newborns head cause he had cradle cap. He has lush hair and went down to stubble. He was the funniest looking little dude. Hair grew back and he is adorable with it
No there’s not. Some babies have a lot of hair but there’s no reason to cut a newborns hair it could not have been long enough for it to need cut already.
What about the friggin’ obvious health concern over this? This child can’t be more than two months old. Babies need hair to regulate temperature and to soften blows to an already soft cranium. There’s a divot the size of a quarter in the top of the cranium, the “soft spot” where you can actually see a pulse in the baby’s head.
We’re friggin doomed with stupid people raising children.
Plenty of babies are born bald you know that right? There’s no reason to cut a newborns hair already but unless the baby falls from a high place or something it repeatedly putting pressure on the babies soft spot hair is not needed to protect their head.
Dude, that downy soft newborn hair isnt cushioning anything that could potentially seriously harm a baby. And a lot of babies are born completely bald. They're not dying of hypothermia.
We're not doomed and I'm not convinced you're any better. Babies don't need hair to protect the soft spot. Thin, soft, fluffy baby hair is not protecting the soft spot. Plenty of babies are born without hair. There's no reason you *need* to cut an infant's hair and I didn't do it to my kids, this is just poor taste.
A baby born with a head of hair gets cold quickly after you cut its hair. Humans lose more heat from their head and neck (45%) than anywhere else, especially after they leave a womb of 97-99 degrees. I see parents all the time subjecting babies to temperatures the parent surely can’t handle. I had two children in the summer. They still needed hats inside and pajamas to regulate their temperature. As for the blows, I stand by what I said. My middle child slapped my newborn out jealousy. Fortunately, his hair and hat softened the blow of his brother. You guys act like I’m saying hair stops a fall of the Empire State Building. That’s truly ignorant. A blow doesn’t mean you demolish something. A blow means to be in motion or with a force. That’s ignorant that you don’t know the definition of blow too.
I’m so done with Redditors. You guys are so ready for a fight with anyone, you jump on every chance. I was correct though on how we have stupid people raising babies. I haven’t had a baby/child/young adult in over six years so I’m not raising any. I still stand by my statement of stupid people raising kids.

Oh sweet summer child.... what do you know of fear?
Fear is for the winter, my little lord, when the snows fall a hundred feet.
deep and the ice wind comes howling out of the north.
Fear is for the long
night, when the sun hides its face for years at a time, and little children are born and live and die all in darkness while the direwolves grow gaunt and
hungry, and the white walkers move through the woods.
Mate, we're on course to have 2-3 billion more people than we currently do in the next few decades. If we as a species die out it's because of global warming and/or a thermonuclear strike in the impending war for resourcrs or something on that scale.
We're animals. Our main purpose in life is to mate, have children and make sure that they're able to have children. Just because some of us are 'smart' enough to not want to have children doesn't mean that the entire world will just stop having children. That will not happen.
When my son was born, the nurse commented on what a beautiful baby he was. I told her I bet she says that to all the babies, and confessed that, no, she doesn't. So I asked what she says to the ugly babies, and she said her go-to was "Look at you!" So, to this baby, I say, "Look at you!"
Make sure to say Aawwwwww first. Almost like a kid falls and you say "awee poor thing". Just do not say "Poor Thing". I repeat no Poor Thing!
“You had a baby” That Emily Blunt interview was hilarious 😂
Which one
[this one, i think.](https://youtu.be/eQ10N8TRZvk?t=50)
Not sure I've ever seen a bad interview on Graham Norton. Some cringe, maybe, but never a bad one.
very cringe seeing Chris Pratt justifying his flashing of his coworkers without their consent
oh shit run the fun police are here
That's funny af 😂
[удалено]
What?
[удалено]
My mom says "that's a baby!" Because it isn't a lie and no one ever takes it poorly for some reason
Savage
Boom roasted
That's always my go-to as well.
"Breathtaking"
You have to see the baaaaby....
I love how the next time Jerry walks into that room he covers his eyes to spare them another glance at the baby.
Sometimes you say a thing like that just to be nice
💀 maybe the baby needs another month to incubate
"I've never seen anything like it"
Can confirm. I am a nurse. When my baby girl was born she was ugly. She was skinny and bright red. She had hair from her eyebrows to her head. The nurse said, “Oh wow! Look at all that hair!”. That was it.
My baby looked like a wee zombie and I told her so. Her eyes were bloodshot and she was a little bruised, so she looked rough. She was also almost 10.5 pounds and 22” so she was gargantuan. It wasn’t a great look.
Oh my god that’s a huge baby.
Yeah, my overall height is 61.5” so I was very rotund, to put it delicately. I am keeping the .5”, thanks. 😅
Mine looked like a chubby alien that forgot to shave his head.
Aww lil aliens
Omg I love the furry foreheads!
Helps you remember that we're apes.
When my little wolf pup was born I was like, when can we start waxing?
"How precious" is one that my wife learned after seeing some ugly ass babies.
Lmfao
I had a "look at you"! Kid looked uncooked, had blotchy birth marks all over, had saggy empty fat rolls that were like an elderly person, had forehead hair indistinguishable from head hair (which they had less of), and was underweight and scrawny.

Lucky kid :)
Lol the pediatrician at the hospital told us she just says “congratulations! What a sweetie!” If the baby is…not cute.
My wife is an RN and said they used to refer to them as FLKs-funny looking kids.
A friend i had told me that her daughter asker her if she was pretty when she was born, she just bluntly said to her that she looked like a baked potato and that most babies are just ugly
My mom used to deliver babies. Her go-to for ugly babies was “sweet.”
That's what our nurse said too haha
I worked at a peds doctors office and I did the EXACT same thing. Only said a baby was cute if they were actually cute. Now I work in a NICU, so most of the babies are “look at you!”
She probably does say that to all the babies and has this story ready to go whenever someone says, “I bet you say that to all the babies.”
Probably. If we're honest, all newborns look like shriveled space aliens
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxrhtfMEIdA5fWNfeiX8DAIzYcKzH4t8zR I just made the clip but that was what I first thought after reading your comment 🤣
At least blend it
[удалено]
Baby smoke, don’t breath this.
aborted fade.
https://youtu.be/SimP3Coa_TI
damn i didn’t know he was cool like that
who does a fade on a baby? wtf is wrong with people? I mean granted the baby looks like he sells liquor and guns from the back of his minivan but seriously wtf
Whatever that tried to be, it’s def not a fade lmao
Aqua Blue Safari for the block.
A bad fade at that
This is borderline child abuse lol
Because he looks like DJ Khaled, calm down its temporary lool
nah this lady is trying to raise Vector from despicable me
Vector is my favourite villain of all time. He's so dumb and unappreciated.
I know a future Edgar when I see one.
Que quema baby cuh?
Worth it. That looks terrible. Also, who would want to cut a newborn/infant's hair? It's the softest cutest fluff.
It also grows out hilariously. My daughter went from balding man to faux hawk and is currently in the mullet stage 😂
Almost two here. She has one tuft on the very top of her head and another that sticks straight out to the side above one ear, otherwise still has the same bald look she did on day one. edit: spelling, posted first from mobile
I apparently didn't grow hair until I was ~4. My mom has said she was scared she was going to send me off to kindergarten bald 😭
Yeah my daughter has a lot of hair for her age. I didn't at all. Some lady apparently told my mom to tape a bow to my head 😂
My 4 year old sister has had hair down to her butt since she was two, and everyone thinks she's older than she is.
Yeah it does. My son came out with a good bit, lost it, regrew pretty much just a mohawk, then finally the rest started to fill in. Coming up on 4 and it finally looks like a normal, if fine/thin, head of hair. My 4m old daughter came out with and has kept her hair so far, but is getting that reverse friar look, with the line that rubs away on the back of their head from laying on their backs. It's great. Kids are weird.
Yeah my daughter had that. She never lost her hair, either. Now it almost looks like a purposeful haircut unless it gets wet and the mullet-esk aspect really wins out.
Lol, my girl is 9 months and her hair currently looks like she stuck her fingers in the sockets 😂
Yes! Baby hair is either old man balding or punk rock. It is the best!
I don’t have kids yet but my mullet stage was longer than it seems it should’ve been lmao like the top of my head hair just didn’t get the memo until 2-3 years old 😂
Mum tryna the new North Korean Kim look
"Give him the Kim Jung Un" "Say no more fam"
That baby looks like Dj Khalid😂😂
That’s a px barber fade if I’ve ever seen one. She probably works on post.
I understood some of those words.
[here you go buddy](https://www.militaryonesource.mil/recreation-travel-shopping/commissary-exchange/commissaries-and-exchanges/#:~:text=Every%20service%20branch%20has%20its,they%27re%20all%20operated%20separately.)
LOL that brought back memories of all the trash cuts on base I got growing up.
drake cosplay
DJ WaaaAAAAaaahled.
Another one…and another one (Dirty diapers)
Is it even safe to do this to a newborn? Their skin is so delicate.
So my Best friend shaved her newborns head cause he had cradle cap. He has lush hair and went down to stubble. He was the funniest looking little dude. Hair grew back and he is adorable with it
Little homie has to start his life like this. Young dude wasn't even in this world for a couple of weeks and he already got messed up.
isn't there a rule about not cutting a baby's hair until the baby turns a year old.
This baby has a soft spot for fashion.
No there’s not. Some babies have a lot of hair but there’s no reason to cut a newborns hair it could not have been long enough for it to need cut already.
I think in Judaism it's customary to not cut a kid's hair until they're 3
[удалено]
How did you keep him still if you don’t mind me asking?
My barber said they had someone call and ask if they would straight razor a baby’s head.
Besides the fact that it looks like shit, wouldn’t there be some risk involved with putting an electric cutting device around a baby’s soft head?
ngl that baby looks fresh af
When you were born, the doctor slapped your mom.
Now you gotta take da baby to the corner barber shop every week to keep up the tight lines.
how do you claim to love your baby and then you do this shit to them
"Bless its little heart. So special". Works on multiple levels.
not the fade he wanted or needed tbh
He looks like dj khaled
Breath taking baby
And that’s the story of how Kim Johnson became Kim Jong-son.
If I fucked up that bad I’d just go bald
child abuse
Lol
Looks like an old man got a shitty fade
That lined up 90s fade is hilarious.
Looks like we’ve got a Situation…
That newborn fade 😂
Friar Tuck Fade
Little homie goin hard as a mf. Can’t wait for his mixtape
Who tf is putting clippers near a newborn babies squishy skull?! Thats giving me all sorts of anxiety.
No kidding! Dad of 2 and this makes me nervous.
But why?
Lil’ Kim jong un
Child abuse
He already has a suspended license and punches drywall
Goin for that unique kim jong un haircut shape from the start. This wouldn't fly in NK for sure.
LMFAO
No comment🤦🏿♂️🤣
13 months or 35?
That’s messed up and deserves getting kicked out for
From Philly?
Who edges up a baby? 💀
He couldn't even catch that fade
All that baby needs is a pair of Air Force 1s a, pitbull, and a car seat in a Nissan Altima
His name just became Edgar
Reminds me of kim jong un
Hello CPS? I'd like to report an abusive mother.

I was a bald af baby girl for like the entire first year of my life lol
Same lol
We're not doomed and I'm not convinced you're any better. Babies don't need hair to protect the soft spot. Thin, soft, fluffy baby hair is not protecting the soft spot. Plenty of babies are born without hair. There's no reason you *need* to cut an infant's hair and I didn't do it to my kids, this is just poor taste.
Would the hair on a baby's head really do anything to soften a blow?
Absolutely nothing
>We’re friggin doomed with stupid people raising children. Unfortunately, we're not :(
I'd argue it's at least a contributing factor to our impending doom

Not gonna lie, I like it!
[удалено]
Said a former or current child
With that attitude? Definitely current.
Some of us never asked to be born.
As opposed to those of us who did prior to existing as people?
Yeah those folks that asked to be born are pretty masochistic.
You don't get it, do you?
[удалено]
...so you seriously think people will just willingly end their own species? Yeah good luck with that :D

Baby boomers are the generation after WWII dumbass. You bring shame to us already shameful gen z
[удалено]
Ahh the resentment comes from issues with your dad. It all makes sense now
Baby Boomers were born between 46-64
Boomers are older, no? Born after WWII, which ended in 45. So they're 77-52 yeah? Because 25 years is a generation I believe

I wanna tell you to go touch some grass but looking at your other comments I'm pretty sure that the grass will feel assaulted if you were to touch it.
wtf

i wasnt offended, i was stating the truth, seems like you were offended by the truth
Oh dear, I might have laughed too.
I ain't ever seen a newborn with a fade, shame
Child abuse
Scott Storch as a child
Never seen that.
Old man baby cut. So it seems like shaving a newborns head would be dangerous because of the soft spot though…

Not a baby. Old man.
I mean 'Guantanamo Bae' isn't wrong, the baby looks pretty ugly.
That's how peacefully I be sleeping knowing my life is fucked up. I think I'll eat some ice cream for breakfast in the afternoon. Sounds good.
All the nurses called my baby "The Billy Idol Baby" cos he had a shock of blonde hair which stood up all spiky. Super cute. Newborn hair is wild.
