Give toddlers and babies fun!
Firstly they need to stop making babies an object!! I watched a great video on how they could make babies have two life stages (newborn) and then the slightly older baby stage before becoming a toddle...

I love that idea! I posted in a feedback topic most likely two years ago by now, asking the same thing. Babies could have two life stages. I mean, they do it in Sims Free Play, why not in Sims 4. I love the idea of having a new born, they really don't do much. That could last possibly two days or three. Then they start to sit up, and learn to roll over from their tummy. That's when they can be placed in a high chair, and feed baby food.
Then they start to crawl, zip around in a walker, start to babble and say small words like Mama, and Dada. And also start to gain the motor skills to walk. So when they turn into toddlers them already being able to walk (which I LOVE by the way) wouldn't be such a jump from a non mobile infant.
And with them no longer being objects they could be part of the family again. Chilling in a swing or baby mat in the living room while the rest of the family watches t.v. or just hangs out. They can be in a bouncer while everyone is eating dinner, or once older, in a high chair. They would once again be bathed in the sink, and once they learn how to sit up, then bathed in the tub with a baby bath chair.
Bath toys could also be added not just for babies but toddlers as well. They could float in the filled tub and provide a emotional boost while getting clean. Maybe even different colored bubble bath just for the little ones (kids included). I mean, adults have spa bath like rose petals, lavender, etc.
It would be super awesome to have these in game. If not in Sims 4, I hope the team takes notes, and if we get Sims 5 they use some of the ideas!
