There is no "best" gender for a child. Every child is unique and special, regardless of their gender. It's important to remember that gender is a social construct, and biological sex doesn't dictate a child's potential or worth.
Some researchers theorize that male babies are more fragile and are statistically less likely to be conceived or survive pregnancy when times are challenging – such as when food is in short supply. Baby girls are hardier early in pregnancy, they say, so in leaner times they may be more able to survive. However, this does not mean one gender is better than the other.
Parents often have preferences for the gender of their child, but ultimately, the most important thing is that their child is healthy and loved.
The best thing for a child is to be raised in a loving and supportive environment where they are encouraged to be themselves and explore their full potential, regardless of their gender.
