r/French on Reddit: Why is everyone asking if my child is sage?

August 21, 2022 -

Could I get a clarification on what it means for a child to be sage? My husband is French, his sister is currently visiting us in Canada and there have been a lot of video calls to show family in France our baby boy. I understand maybe 50% of french conversation between native speakers, and one word I keep catching is sage. Everyone is asking if he is sage and how he sleeps... I've translated it and just get wise/wisdom. Which doesn't really make sense to me? I would never ask if a baby was wise, or describe them as such... My husband doesn't know ab equivalent word in English. Am I missing a meaning of this word or do French people associate babies with wisdom?
