I know that story. It’s part of the Apocrypha............
Yes, nothing new about this story - it appears in at least one other apocrypha.
Yes, this supposed miracle story has been known for some time, and the apocryphal gospel seems to date to sometime in the 2nd century (before 180). The earliest records of Jesus’ childhood are found in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke.
I think you mean Gnostic.
Its actually a part of a 4th century Gnostic book that has been rejected since the 4th century by orthodoxy ie by Catholic and Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox church
the book of thomas has always been around
