"It reminds them of the umbilical cord." Eugenio, on why babies love playing with electrical wires.

We use womb nostalgia to explain many baby things.

Felicity falls asleep within 10 minutes of a stroller run. She's like, "Home, sweet home." Reminds her of the womb, we say, noting how I ran throughout pregnancy.


Baby sleeping with bum in the air? Aw, just like in the womb. I would always feel her butt pressing against my navel.

I look forward to making awkward comments to Felicity one day. We'll be snuggling in bed watching Pretty Woman on the old classic movie channel and when she wakes up, I'll say, "You always fall asleep when we watch movies and snuggle. Must remind you of the womb."
