A childhood belief about reproduction

When I was a kid, fresh bread and milk were delivered (separately) to houses during the night i.e. you woke up in the morning and there they were on the doorstep.

Living in a new suburb which was full of young parents (like mine at the time), when I was in bed, I would often hear babies crying at night.

I used to believe the baker delivered boy babies and the milk-man delivered girl babies.
