Pink was worn by little boys until the 20th Century, due to its energetic and vibrant nature, women were surrounded by blue as little girls, duw to blue being a calmer color, more in line with a ladies preferred demeanor...then it got inverted...
That's fascinating but that was then and this is now.
Edit: I researched your claim, which is true. Well prior to that (as it turns out), everyone wore white dresses for the first few years, both sexes (easy for diaper changing, outfit easily bleached clean etc). So....
My mom has pictures of me (born in 1953) wearing a white gown as an infant. I have pictures of my dad (born in 1929) wearing a white gown as an infant.

Yeah, and FDR wore dresses as a young boy. Not everything from the past is worth preserving. Especially FDR.

AGAIN. That was then, this is now.
I didn't know about the white clothing...'The Great American Bathroom Book" is a wealth of information! Five Stars!
Apparently its wealth of information stops short of the "all kids used to wear dresses till a certain age" part
No, it was a short anecdote about the Pink/Blue swap, not a long dissertation on the history of bedclothes...
And yet they didn't have any confusion about whether they were male or female.
