I kept DD's hair and have it in her little keepsake box. I think it is very special and something I'll always treasure. Mum didn't keep mine, though I wish she had! You can keep it and can always get rid of it in future if it's not your thing?
Glenny - Thanks for offering a different opinion. I'm not sure whether it's something that I'll treasure, but I have a little snap lock bag of hair and will put some in his baby book. It's probably more for me than for him - don't know of too many men who have a soft spot for their own baby book!
Don't get me wrong, I think it's lovely to keep those kind of things if it's special to you. I personally just don't get it. To me, it feels like keeping her nail clippings. Maybe I'm just missing that sentimental thing? But for sure if you're thinking it may be something you regret not doing then I would keep it, as Belle said- you can always change your mind later but if you never kept it and regret it, it's too late to go back. IYKWIM?
I definately did! If it was me, and I could go back and do it again - I wouldn't have chopped it off at all! Well, maybe just had it cut in a different way. But yes. Grabbed as much of it in a nice 'lock' as I could. It's in an envelope with the date on it in a metal keepsake tin in his room. He was 2 days shy of his 2nd birthday.
