"I 've never understood this need to call babies he or she , rather than `` it `` . I refered to my own daughter using `` it `` for the first month after she was born . It was only because my own mother objected to me doing so that I stopped . Babies look like babies , not like boys or girls . It makes sense to refer to them as `` it `` . It also saves strangers getting embarrased when they guess the gender wrongly . Refer to babies as `` it `` : it is n't disrespectful and it 's sensible ."
"Well i know it would n't be sensible for anyone to call my child an it that is just disrespectfull to both your partener and child ."
