... I do it myself on occasion: especially when the sex of the child isn't readily apparent. To me, whether it's based on face-blindness or not, pretty much every child under the age of six months looks the same so I do it to avoid upsetting the mother by saying something wrong-gender-related...

Same here. I'll stop calling a baby 'It' when its gender becomes apparent, or when someone tells me whether its a boy or a girl.
