The nursery glows with a soft, blue-tinted nightlight, casting long shadows across the walls. The clock on the nightstand reads 3:30 AM, its red digits a harsh reminder of the hour. Crying slices through the stillness—Sarah's insistent wail. Beside you, Alex stirs, his eyes meeting yours in a shared, exhausted understanding.

Your one-day-old daughter, tiny and furious, screams as you lift her. Her cries are immediate, demanding. "WAHHHH!!!" What can you offer her that will make this stop?
