Lord_Reed:Absolutely correct brother! The dude probably didn't know that...'it's' as in 'it is' or 'it has' while 'its' is a pronoun as u rightly said. Thanks man! |

onyejiokem: While this may seem untrue I think there is an element of truth in it; reason bcoz, it's not easy to differentiate a male baby from a female one especially from afar since they do not have a visible physical characteristics except on a closer look. The photo of my younger sis when she was 2 is often regarded as a male photo becoz she looked like one. So as a speaker/owner of a baby I think it's right to simply say, ''it's my baby'' to save a curious audience the stress of having to doubt whether or not you're telling the truth of your baby's sex since to him/her the child is either a male or female. I've also heard them say on movies, ''It's my baby'' instead of he/she is... As the poster of the thread acknowledged. The only time one could say ''he/she is my baby is when the child has actually grown past ''babyhood'' then those physical x-terics becomes visible, e.g the female wears ear ring, plaits hair etc. While for the male is the opposite. I hope this will help? onyejiokem: While this may seem untrue I think there is an element of truth in it; reason bcoz, it's not easy to differentiate a male baby from a female one especially from afar since they do not have a visible physical characteristics except on a closer look.
