snugger

If you hear your daughter’s door open and shut, it might be the wind. If it opens and shuts a few times in a row, it’s probably not. If you don’t hear your daughter making a noise, it doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s not awake, and up to something. You should probably check on her soon. If you choose to leave her for a bit because she’s not making a grumpy noise (and you’re trying to get the dishes finished), you might well find that she’s doing something that you’d rather she didn’t. For instance, you might find that she’s managed to get the waterproof cover off her cloth nappy, and is sitting on the floor, sans nappy, chewing on said cover. If at this point you whip her off the floor and put another nappy on her, she’s probably not going to thank you for it. Just so you know.

And thus we learn what generations of parents have already discovered - a quiet baby is often more worrying than a noisy one.
