For 40 weeks, our babies live in the warmth and safety of our wombs. They are naked, have no toys, bathe in their own pee, and food is supplied on demand. Then, suddenly, at 40+1 (or whenever your nugget decides to enter the world), we have been trained to turn this upside down.

My point is, why this sudden change in how we view our babies? Yes, they will have more material needs now than when in the womb.
