I have met people referring their babies as "it" 🙄

Like, I've heard people referring ships as "she", why would they use "it" on their own baby?

In our language "it" is reserved to inherently non-observable or strange objects, or to monsters. Even non-living items are gendered, like "book" is "she", for example.
