I 100% used that phrase before Game of Thrones.

Edit - It is weird that even ChatGPT says Martin invented it. According to it, there has never been a documented or written use of the phrase prior to Martin.

The phrase “sweet summer's child" became a popular way of describing an innocent, naive person (especially among American writers) during the early Victorian era. It was used by a number of authors during the 1840s, notably:- Fredrika Bremer (1840), James Staunton Babcock (1849) in The West Wind and Mary Whitaker (1850) in The Creole.
