Are male and female babies treated differently?

Yes, male and female babies can be treated differently due to societal norms and cultural expectations. In some cultures, boys may receive more attention or be encouraged to exhibit traits like independence, while girls may be nurtured to be more compliant or caring. These differences can manifest in the way caregivers interact with, play with, and respond to babies based on their gender. However, the degree of this differential treatment can vary widely across different families and cultures.
