Unicorn foals, or sparkles, are born without their horns. Instead, they have a hard knot where their magnificent horn will eventually grow as they get older. Cool! What is this?
Babies who wake up every 2 hours to feed for weeks and weeks
Waking every 1-4 hours is much more common than babies who sleep 8 hours a night from birth (I like to call these super sleepers "unicorn babies" - I have heard of them, but have never experienced one myself).
