The game doesn't work properly when there is an infant in the household

In recent months, with an infant in my household, the game has been experiencing constant simulation lags. For example, time goes by and the sim stands around for hours at a time doing nothing with the infant in his arms, instead of feeding him or anything else. This happens in all households and with all infants. It's impossible to play.
I've attached a video of the game's behavior, which shows the infant lying in the cradle and has a sleep animation, even though the game thinks he's awake and sad. You can also see how poorly the switching between sims works.

I have no mods and have all the addons for the game. My version of the game is 1.112.519.102

Same issue. Any interaction to do with infants/toddlers, my sim automatically cancels them, or says theres something in her way. My toddlers are on the verge of starving and desperately need baths and she just wont do it. She prioritizes taking care of herself most of the time to the point I’ve almost lost my infants and toddlers. She will stand there and just stare at the infant/toddler while the kid is screaming cuz they need to be fed or changed. Any time I get her to pick up and infant toddler she instantly puts them down and cancels the action and goes to take care of herself. Ive noticed when i have toddlers/infants in the game, my sims needs go down just as fast as theirs. So she is always starving and dirty and exhausted even after just having had her needs filled like 3 sims hours ago. I think the bugs could have to do with someone the adult sim somehow having toddler programming mixed into them? Like my sim will get their sleep bar to full, then she’ll wake up and I’ll try to make her care for her toddler/infant, and 2 sims hours later, she’s passing out on the floor and refusing to try to take care of them because she’s too exhausted.
