I see a lot of headcanons about hobbit babies being grown from gardens and dwarven babies being carved from stone. But I haven't seen many ( if any) headcanons about what is done to the baby after its carved from stone. my new hc is that they have to be essentially baked. they're kept in super super hot places like in small caverns near a pit of lava or in what is basically a pizza oven. when they're fully grown newborns their stone begins to crack and they're taken to a cold room to encourage their tiny fists and feet to kick and hit at the stone to break free so they can reach the warmth of their parents bodies
