Totally, like many of them can't even hold their necks up. We're expecting our second in a few months, and I can't even imagine how much easier it would be (lol as a parent, not as a pregnant mother) if the baby was 5 months older when it was born. You'd avoid the first sleep regression - I do wonder if the first sleep regression happening around 4 months means they're "supposed" to have gone through it before they're born.

Haha, yeah not for mothers lol. Those first 3 months are rough with a newborn. I have two myself (second is now 8 months) and it was almost like clockwork that at 3 months old they started sleeping through the night and it felt like we got past the super vulnerable phase. Best of luck to you and family.
