Oh my! Well I had to abandon my sim who had triplets (she already had a toddler) it was the most overwhelming experience I've ever had playing this game. These little dudes are hard work.
So my explorer sim had a baby and this was much easier.
One of the cutest things is the sucking thumb, along with grabbing toes, that's so realistic.

Did have a few issues. Mum went to the gym with infant and the portable crib, after a nap she handed him to a friend. Who promptly made off down the street with him! She had to go chasing after her. Was panicking a bit as the friend isn't in the world and I wasn't sure if the baby would disappear.
It was a mad idea but I took my sim and infant to the jungle for a short vacation. Went great with no issues until the infant was ageing up to toddler, then he got stuck and Mum couldn't do anything with him. His needs were all in red so sent them home where he promptly aged up as normal.
It was worth trying out as a test though and until the ageing issue the vacation went smoothly.

What I like is that parents have to interact with the infant. Toddlers can be fairly self-sufficient, especially if the Watcher helps by getting food out of the fridge, etc.

So far, one toddler and three triplet infants have been a challenge for my Alien sim and her human husband.

The Sims 4 Infant Care Guide

Infants will age into toddlers with one of three reward traits:

Top Notch Infant: These infants were extremely well cared for. They have a very positive outlook on the world and trust other Sims very easily thanks to that early childhood bond with their caregivers.

Happy Infant: These infants formed a good attachment with their caregivers. They see the world as a good place and find it easier to trust other Sims.

Unhappy Infant: These infants were neglected and as a result of this neglect, they see the world as a cruel, unforgiving place. They don’t trust that other Sims have good intentions and are highly skeptical of others.

So far, this Infant Update has been beyond adorable. I have myself as a Young Adult Simself and a Sunny infant son, Jordan. He loves Rice Porridge and the sensory toys. Since I couldn't wait for the pack, he already knows how to crawl, sit up, use the high chair (obviously), and eat infant foods. He took one nap while I was playing. I am going to wait until tomorrow since I know now that I will be able to play the pack uninterrupted for the next 2 weeks to explore everything combined with the 2 patches. I will be back to update this thread.

Sims finish the "hand to" animation with a tickle and it's the cutest thing ever.

Yes my infant looks evil, it's by design.

Cool, babies can have Occult eyes. :p

FYI, just learned that if you want your sim to be able to use bathroom when infant or toddler is in bathroom use a stale toilet and then sim will not get upset that the kid can see you. lol Have not figured out shower yet. lol

I'm pretty sure that my infant has been getting hiccups occasionally.
