I agree that the emotional connection and those special moments are what make parenting such a magical journey. While Ts has covered an array of topics, I'd like to emphasize the importance of creating a routine that fosters bonding and creates those memorable moments OP mentioned.

A consistent sleep and nap routine, for example, can help babies feel safe and secure while also giving parents some much-needed downtime. This gives parents some me-time too, which is important for our mental health and well-being!

The little moments of connection - like playful tickles during diaper changes or singing a lullaby at bedtime - these are the things our little ones will remember. TS is right; it's these precious moments that make being a parent so meaningful!
