Change crib?
My sims just had a baby boy and he popped up in a pink bassinet, how do I change him to being in the blue one I bought to match my nursery design?

Olden times?
You mean prior to the 1940's.
Though, typically, throughout most of western history, infants wore white. It doesn't lose its colour with frequent laundering, and can be bleached. And all babies, male and female, wore dresses and gowns, making them easier to change.
But as for older kids, yep. In the renaissance, salmon pink was hugely popular for boys and young men, whereas girls and young women wore a heck of a lot of blue... except at a certain time of the month, when they were more likely to wear red peticoats.
Boys remained in skirted garments until they were about 4 - 7, when they got breeched. A part of the reason for this, is that it's a lot easier to toilet train small children if they are in skirts, with no pants underneath. When they start to make a puddle, you just put them in the spot where they are allowed to make a puddle. A partocilar type of lettuce used to be grown near door steps, and it thrived on the pee of little boys.
Yeah. I'm full of trivia.
