Developmentally, babies don’t even have gender yet. Gender develops in the brain between the ages of 2 and 4 (and keeps developing until the end of puberty). I don’t think it’s developmentally appropriate to gender babies. All babies are nonbinary, and we should encourage children to choose a gender and pronouns as a rite of passage on their fourth birthday.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. I agree. Internal sense of gender develops later. If babies do have a gender identity, they can’t communicate it. We shouldn’t push gender expectations on babies.
Oh, it’s just the normal everyday cisheteropartiarchy burned into people’s brains why they’re downvoting Me. My suggestion goes outside their comfort zone, and they don’t know Me well enough to seriously consider what I’m saying, they just feel a negative emotional reaction to radical new ideas. Thinking new ideas is hard work, cognitively taxing, so they perceive My new ideas as a threat.
