I disagree, babies are babies and they all need loving.

I had my boy's first, but I picked them up as quickly as I do my baby girl.
I don't don't know why boy baby's should get any less than baby's girl's do.
After all, a baby, is a baby, no mater the sex.  My Dad thinks boy baby's
shouldn't be handled as much as girl's.  I didn't listen to him.

treated differently dependent upon the sex of the child. People think boys
don't need picked up as quickly as girls. They tend to be expected not to
cry. There seems to be an expectation that they need to become strong and
somehow to be vulnerable is wrong. We didn't want Mark to be picked on and
we wanted him to learn to stand up for himself but we also wanted him to
feel safe expecially at home. School wasn't easy for him and we had to look
for the answers that was right for him and not just assume the answer was
only punishment because it wasn't. We found that as good as most teacher
were, we had to trust our insticts as parents and trust Mark to learn safety
in telling the truth to us. Sorry for the length of this.
