How early do sociologists believe parents begin socializing their children into gender? At birth and perhaps even in utero.

Parents are full of happiness with the coming baby. So they start to talk to the baby before he/she is born. That is why the father talks directly into the belly of the mother and expresses sweet and tender words if it is a girl. Or the opposite, if the baby is a boy, the father expresses words such as "you are going to be a tough man," or "you are going to be a great football player..."

That is why doctors and sociologists think that the baby starts to feel or listen to the first concepts about masculinity or feminity.

could you go a bit more in depth with you question? it's quite hard to understand. as soon as you do that i will be glad to : )
