This may come as a suprise to some, but Sims are not real living beings. They are pieces of code that run on your computer. I imagine that in terms of how the game is programmed Sims, not just babies, but all sims,are very much treated as objects.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
Uh... pretty sure it has already been established that babies are objects long before now. Really, in every iteration of sims games, my sims babies always stayed in the crib, except in sims 2, when we actually had changing tables that worked properly and our sims, once they finished changing the kid, took it back to the crib and put it in. Sims 3's store version, they finish any interaction on that changing table... and they put the kid on the floor...
Babies no matter the incarnation of sims title, have always been objects. Sims 1, poof bassinet filled with a baby. Sims 2, you could only see the color of their portrait and had to guess what they wanted. Sims 3, they were basically objects your sim could pick up, interact with and carry around.
The picture was funny but when I saw the title, I thought "Oh great, another hate thread". And here I was with the perfect gif for it!

Leaving them in the crib was your personal play style. It didn't have to be, though. In Sims 3, babies had need bars that you could see. They had moodlets. Evil infants derived pleasure from someone else's pain. They could accumulate lifetime aspiration points, and they could have relationships with other sims. They could become friends with the babysitter or maid or neighbors. They could be taken to the park in a stroller. I had a mod where they could be taken on vacation, as well.

They were sims, not objects.
Uh... Sims 4 babies do develope friendships with people who interact with them. After having my sim mother and father interact with the kids while they were babies, they showed up in the social list with a reputation, quickly becoming friends. And when they aged up into children, they were still friends with the sim parents. Also, Sims 3 babies, when it came to lifetime aspiration points, mine never got any no matter what I did. They had no wishes to fullfill, or anything of the such. Yes they had needs bars, but beyond that, they were mere objects. They only had the needs bars because they thought it a good idea to let them have it over sims 2 babies, who you could not see their needs bars.
It was toddlers that started developing aspirations and wishes and interacting with things and other sims. Overall, I'm okay with how they did babies. I'm alright with how they put in an age up on them regardless of time till their actual birthdays. For me, it's not a big deal.
My current feelings about The Sims 4. Here is hoping The Sims 5 can restore The Sims franchise.
Sims 2 babies might have had needs bars hidden but there was a boolprop cheat (as well as a multitude of mods) that would allow you to make the baby selectable, and you could see the needs. Sims 3 babies could get aspiration points. They didn't tend to get them very often, but they could. Things like beautiful vista, nicely decorated home, having teddy in their inventory and the music playing as well as hygiene being up could all combine to give them points. Also, test number one to see if they were sims.... you could click on them and select interactions that were sim interactions, not just click on a bassinet.... Yes all sims are objects but they are a different category from say, a chair or a table in the game. And babies fell in the sim category, not the chair one, except for in sims 4. (well maybe they were in the original sims as well, too.)

Does that make the coffee in coffee machines alive?
Or give pizza from the oven the right to vote?
They can vote as to what their toppings are. I'm going to eat them anyway.
Unless they say anchovies... then they lose the ability to vote period.
Haha i remember seeing that move in a UA cinema nice reference there .
