When my daughter was little, she was a calm, unbothered baby and toddler. She was just about as easy as a baby can be—sure, she spit up a lot, but she wasn’t a screamer, she slept relatively well, and she was generally easy to haul along to just about everywhere we wanted to go as new parents. In short, she was a brewery baby.
