The baby just got his bottle. Now it is on the crawling blanket in the living room and happily stretches your legs up. The mother sits next to it. With one hand, she holds a small stuffed animal in front of the baby, with the other she wipes over the smartphone. She uses the quiet moment to read messages, open the chat group with the other mums, to see who wrote on Instagram. Finally breathe, finally a little distraction from the monotonous everyday life with baby, which primarily consists of breastfeeding, changing, playing and sleepless nights. Practical, because the baby doesn’t seem to get any of it anyway. But that is not true, as new research shows.
