A baby "onesie" or one-piece suit featuring a bikini-body imprint in the front side has caused negative reactions among parents in Mississippi, and elsewhere.

The company producing these, Bon Bebe, had a department store in Southaven, Mississippi - Gordman's - sell the outfit for 18-month-old babies.

According to the Huffpost, Action News 5 interviewed some customers outside of Gordman's, who responded by saying, "I just think that is a little ridiculous that you would put that on your child" and "it gives people the wrong idea too quickly."

However, a Houston woman asked of her opinion by the Latinos Post thought otherwise. "I believe cuteness was the idea in mind. The figure imprinted isn't too-sexy, and it looks quite healthy...it sure stirs some humor."

A New Yorker upon seeing the outfit responded, "It's harmless. It looks like it is more of a mother-daughter thing. I have a toddler and it's normal for her to mimick her mother. As long as proper education is there, it should be ok."

Did the idea go a little bit too far?
