We need to talk about the “is he a good baby?” question.
Because somewhere along the way, “good” became code for sleeps through the night, settles easily, and doesn’t need much. And by that logic, half the most normal newborn behaviour on earth gets quietly filed under “bad.”
So here’s your official guide to telling the difference. On the left, all the things that get a baby unfairly labelled difficult, the night feeds, the contact naps, the 3am parties for one. On the right, actual bad behaviour. The white-collar crime. The tax evasion. The Ponzi schemes.
Notice your baby isn’t on the right side, mama. Wanting you is not a character flaw. It’s just a baby being a baby.
Tag a mama whose “badly behaved” newborn has, to date, a completely spotless criminal record. 🤍
