Bra for 2 yr olds in J Lewis

I find this totally unacceptable.

Who would even think to come up with this idea angry

tiggypiro Wed 10-Dec-14 21:54:44

I have had the same reply granjura and have written back in the same vein as you - a case of great minds thinking alike ! I expect we will receive exactly the same reply from JL too. How do they think a bra for the measurements of a 2 year old will fit a girl who really needs one ?

MiniMouse Wed 10-Dec-14 21:49:25

I've emailed JL too. Just had an automated reply so far as they're experiencing high volume of emails - wonder why that could be?!

Think the offending items have been removed from website. The picture was still there when I checked it earlier, but when I clicked on it the info page had been removed.

Omg isn't that a magnet for peodophiles? Why oh why can't babies be babies, it's apawling!

Just checked the website. Definitely bras for age 2 - 5. £8. Bloomin' ridiculous!

granjura Wed 10-Dec-14 18:44:29

GD and GS both wear cotton vests under school shirts and sweatshirts, I am glad to say.

I have written to JL- and their reply was that they made a mistake, showing them with age rather than size on the website. I wrote back to say it is not acceptable- as any child that size does NOT need a bra anyhow.

The more people write, the more they will 'notice' of course.

I read what MN had to say last night yogagran. Their reaction is the same as ours.

Yuk indeed soop

I just feel there are certain things little girls will be dealing with as they get older but until these ocassions arise, I really wish they were allowed to just be children and not be pressurised to miss out on the innocence of childhood and forced to grow up to quickly. sad

I do wish GDs wore vests too, I have bought many but never see them wearing them. Bras for littlies, I would like to say not needed but I think our 5 year old will need one shortly tchhmm

soop Wed 10-Dec-14 17:37:24

Yuk!

What a horrible image featuring the boy and girl! shock
Wouldn't be allowed today, thank goodness...

yogagran Wed 10-Dec-14 17:11:18

It would be interesting to know what MN have to say on this subject, I'll pop over in a moment and have a look

Ugh, those liberty bodices.
They were warm, though, before central heating!

TriciaF Wed 10-Dec-14 16:56:33

Put them all in liberty bodices until they're teenagers wink

Having said that, the little girl in the advert seems to have been sexualised.

rosequartz Wed 10-Dec-14 16:50:49

I have emailed them as well, tiggy. (disgustedoftunbridgewells)

Perhaps we should contact a newspaper!

rosequartz Wed 10-Dec-14 16:42:59

Little girls need nice warm long vests to keep their tummies and backs warm.

Oh, sorry that was in response to the 'crop top bra' thing, not criticising other people's DGC who do not wear vests as I read the posts after writing this (as usual).

Nonnie Wed 10-Dec-14 16:40:42

They are shown as aged 2 up to 5. So silly why would even a 5 year old want one?

rubysong Wed 10-Dec-14 16:35:58

My DGC don't wear vests. I wish they would, they'd be so much cosier. In the last few years I have rediscovered vests which I stopped wearing as a teenager.

ninathenana Wed 10-Dec-14 15:56:03

My DGS haven't worn vests since they were about 12mths. And they often turn up at mine in with just a T-shirt on top half.
I keep a couple of hoodies at mine to put them in.

Have spoken to DD she just says 'It's what they're used to'

Ana Wed 10-Dec-14 15:47:36

Yes, my post was a bit ambiguous - perish the thought! blush

janeainsworth Wed 10-Dec-14 15:46:12

Ana grin
Seriously I am sure that DGD has had far fewer colds etc since the vest-wearing regime was introduced wink

tiggypiro Wed 10-Dec-14 15:42:09

Gosh Ana for a minute there I thought you were saying you had bought the bras!

Ana Wed 10-Dec-14 15:40:18

jane, I had to buy some for my GDs too! shock
What is it with modern mums?

tiggypiro Wed 10-Dec-14 15:34:12

I have emailed them to ask why they are selling them. I shall post the response - always supposing I get one !

granjura Wed 10-Dec-14 15:14:56

Beggars belief. I sincerely hope that those of you who live in the UK will take the time to write, phone or send them an e-mail. So much is done to fight child abuse, and then this.

janeainsworth Wed 10-Dec-14 15:02:14

Seen the link now. Who on earth buys these things? Some people must, or JL wouldn't sell them sad

JoyBloggs Wed 10-Dec-14 14:53:52

vampirequeen Couldn't agree more. Always been a John Lewis fan, but find this very disturbing.
