LO at a funeral First off some people may think that bringing your child to a funeral isn't OK. I understand however my…

When we took dd2 to a funeral I found a black dress on Amazon. Also any dark color would be fine. Just depends how traditional it is. I've been to some where people just wore jeans and tshirt. I never do but have seen it. OP sorry for your loss.

Thank you guys. The service sent beautifully. My stepmom and I never got along. She was a very difficult woman. That being said it is heartbreaking to see someone who is sick and battle cancer for 3 years be taken. It was very difficult to see my younger brothers (18, and ,21) have to bury their mom. And watch my dad say goodbye to his wife of 23 years. She is no longer in pain and I'm sure she would've loved that Avery wore the dress she picked for her.

It's fine to dress her in whatever. My 4 year old went to my grandma's funeral in a pink dress and everyone thought she was the cutest thing ever

I just took DS to my uncles funeral in june. He wore long slacks and a Polo long sleeve shirt. Most kids in there were in just nice clothes that varied in color. I saw my cousins in bright dresses, I really don't think colors matter when it comes to children.

Imo children are permitted to wear bright flashy colors. Actually I'd expect it. Children are generally the only source of happiness at events like these. I'm sorry for your loss.

When my father passed away I took my dd1 to his funeral. She was about 7 months at the time. I went to the mall to find her a black outfit but there are no black baby clothes. I ended up buying a navy blue shirt with white pants. Good luck!

Around here people usually just wear church clothes to funerals, so I wouldn't think anything of it. I am so sorry for your loss, op.

Ps. Im really sorry for the loss of your step mum.

I think a nice blue or dark blue outfit would be appropriate. And of course she should be there... she doesnt have to view your step mum in her coffin but thats her loved one too.

Ppl love seeing babys at funerals because it brightens up the day and dress them in whatever works dont worry about color, no ones judging color of clothing on a baby for a funeral, just not a onesie that says something trashy written on it.

When a lady I knew passed last year we took our 1 yr old and 3 yr old to the wake. So many people came up to us and thanked us for bringing the kids. The lady was a teacher and loved kids.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That must be pretty tough. :/

We recently went to a funeral for a family friend. My son was about 6 months. I dressed him in a white onsie and some blue shorts. We are in SoCal and it was pretty warm.

Definitely put her in the dress your step mom gave her, that's really sweet

I think the Dory dress is perfect.

I took my daughter to a funeral and I dressed her how I usually do. I don't think babies have to wear black. They don't know what's going on anyways.

When my mother in law passed away my daughter and I both wore purple to her funeral because it was her favorite color and she hated black at funerals

I think the dress she picked out for your daughter would be perfect. My dad passed away a little after my daughter's 1st birthday. We didn't have a funeral but I had to bring her to the memorial. She wore a onsie and jeans (it was too cold for a dress) and a jacket my dad picked out for her.

I think that's a great idea, OP!

Thanks ladies. I actually realized for dds 1 yr bday my step mom picked out a cute dory summer dress and she thought it was the cutest thing. I think that would be cute since she picked it for her.

First and for most I'm sorry for your loss. Second what was your step mothers favorite color?

When my grandmother passed we chose not to wear black it was too depressing. We chose light colors

The baby should be able to wear anything. Dress her for the wedding & my daughter has been to a few funerals.

While a sad occasion family who didn't get to meet her will

When my husband's aunt died we dressed my girls in as blue tank top type dresses we could find.

It was is Phoenix as well.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Do you know your stepmothers favorite color? I'd dress your dd in that. ?

No one will really be judging what she's wearing unless it's under dressed

So sorry for your loss. ?

I had to take DS1 to a funeral when he was under a year old and I just had him in a onesie and sweatpants. Nobody cared whatsoever. He brought some happiness to a dark day and everyone was very glad we brought him. Nobody made any mention of what he was wearing.

My dad passed away in August. I dressed my 15 month old in the same dress she wore for her birthday party, so it was red, black and white. Honestly I think young children can wear just about anything.

OK I just wasn't sure. I haven't been to a lot of funerals.

I don't think it really matters, my DD1 has been to two funerals before she was a year old and I think she wore blue to both of them, I think maybe it was the same outfit, a dark blue dress with little sailboats on it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I really don't think it matters what the baby wears.
