I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.

I (M) remember my overnight stay after delivery, I tried to soothe the baby when it awoke and it wasn’t feeding time, and woke every time the nurses came in i was there to help mom during feedings. We slept in fits, they wake mom every 4 hours to encourage feeding.

I remember the nurse’s told me that most dads don’t help, don’t get involved, and leave everything to the mom.

We were jut recovering from a brutal birth so I was eagerly interested in both baby and mom’s health and recovery but the stories the nurses told me were shocking.

Referring to your baby as “it” is certainly a vibe. Do we need to be concerned about your parenting or just your writing?

As soon as I saw that I stopped reading. It reads as either fake or AI.

Or, just going out on a limb here, its to not reveal the babies gender and preserve anonymity

Preserve anonymity… of someone who is already anonymous and in no way would be traceable because we know that a baby boy or girl was born sometime, somewhere on earth. No, my vote is for either bad AI, bad writing (in 21st century English we would “they” to not gender) or, and I really hope not, a deeply worrying perspective on children 🤷🏾‍♂️

You can do that with they/them pronouns
