  Volume doesn’t matter, it’s surface area.

  And shrinking may actually increase the surface area.

  What’s going on with memory, is likely different and would have more to do with staying more present in the “now”. Babies are fickle, it’s hard to plan ahead, and better to have a constant idea how the baby is doing
