Now that we have infants...
Now that we have infants does anyone else feel like there's a even bigger gap between children and teens? Newborn: pretty much sleeps all day Infant: more interactions (not sure what they are yet) ...

I don't think we need another life stage either. As a mother of 4 kids, I can tell you there isn't much distinction and I find the whole tween idea silly. It's a short transition between about 10-12 where they stop playing with "little kid" toys and start doing things that are slightly less "childish". But major changes in activities and interests happen after they hit their teens.
The biggest gap is actually between toddlers and children. The age from about 3-6/7 is missing. But, as I said already, I don't want anymore life stages.
These are my exact thoughts. I always felt like little kids are missing and the kids we have feel closer to what people call "tweens". I always wanted smaller kids but there is no demand for it so I doubt we would ever get it.
Teens with the highschool pack, childish trait,, and parenthood fill all the tween check boxes. We just need shorter preset heights to choose from IMO.
