    While a newborn is rightly billed as a bundle of joy, two things can be true simultaneously: For many couples, a new baby is also a powder keg for conflict, as they are forced to evaluate and negotiate how their latest addition will affect life moving forward.

    The Italian word bombolotto doesn’t have a precise English translation. It means doll, toy baby, puppet, fat baby, happy baby, and all those things at once in a bouncy, onomatopoetic sort of way. It’s what the women on the street call out when they see something cherubic that must be pinched and clucked at until it gives up a giggle.
