If it's just the one, he might be wearing something that's refusing to scale down.  Don't know why the game would suddenly refuse after reloading but it does that to me sometimes too!  Could be that an apparel mod updated.

Actually I think you have found a bug -- in beta 19 babies and toddlers can develop a tolerance to social joy. This is grossly unfair on the player since they don't have easy early game alternatives. I've patched social tolerance to not accrue for that reason. Long term, baby and toddler toys might be a good addition to the mod.

Thanks!  I'm glad it wasn't entirely something I had just missed. When I updated the mod the babies started taking care of their recreation right away.

To solve the baby/toddler joy problem once they start crawling and walking, I either research to get tube television or just save up my silver and buy a TV from the exotic goods trader when they swing by. I feel a little guilty about sticking my kids in front of a TV set all day to entertain them, it reminds me when my baby brother would watch Ice Age or The Incredibles all day on repeat, but it gets them to stop crying and rest properly at least

How is the B19 update jarry made working out for folks? I'm still running B18 because of this mod (basically my favourite mod & an essential one to my play now) and a couple others that won't see updates to B19 or 1.0 whenever it lands (Cupro's stones and alloys, and I'm sure some others). I may try to bugtest jarry's version of Thirite's mod if I attempt B19 again sometime soon, but I'm also plenty happy to wait for the full release.

I wish I had thought of the TV!  That seems like a good work around!  And I'm enjoying the mod a lot.  I didn't find it until recently, after B19 dropped, but aside from the recreation thing that just got a patch, jarry's version is working great for me.  And I haven't noticed any conflicts with the other mods I have installed either (of which I have way, way too many).

Oh my god is that what childcare does?  I literally just saw that right now and one of my colonists is playing with the baby.  I assume they'll play with the toddler too once he's part of the colony again?  Lol nevermind the previous post, problem solved! 

Is there a way to fill the baby or toddler's recreation?  So I popped this on top of a save where I had a baby and toddler age pawns.  They're both severely recreation deprived and the toddler wouldn't do anything to try and fill that meter until the point where he had a mental break and became a wildman (wildbaby).  Now I either have to tame him or arrest him and recruit him back into the colony.  I find this incredibly hilarious but there should probably be a way to fill baby recreation.  XD
