If I buy a gift for my boyfriend that is personalized of our bio child, do I have to get him one with his daughter too? I know I don't HAVE to do anything. But is it the right thing to do? Do you think he could possibly be hurt if I get him gifts from the child we share but not from his daughter?

One of the gifts I want to get him are socks with our baby's face on it. I had previously gotten him a car freshener with his son's face on it and he had been saying he wanted one of his daughter too which made me feel kind of guilty. 

Update: if he gets full custody, I'm leaving.
