If the next generation of adults evolves into a neglect character (such as Gozarutchi), the parents will also evolve into matching neglect parents (such as Kashiratchi). Unlike the children, the parents' evolution can't be reversed. Some parent characters are exclusive to certain pure families (such as Mamavioletchi). If a Tamagotchi sent from one version to another is rendered as Nazotchi, it will not evolve into a parent character, but can still become a neglect parent during the next generation. In vintage Japanese media, this stage was not considered an independent stage; rather, it was an extension of the baby stage, although it could die at this stage. Releases from 2004 onward have codified them to be distinct from each other. In some media, it is referred to as the "Rebellious" stage. DJ Play: The Tamagotchi will be playing on a DJ turntable. Arrows will appear and the user must swipe in the correct direction to raise the excitement meter at the top of the screen. There are various ways to keep your Tamagotchi characters happy. If you have an item, you may play with it outside in the yard. You can even travel to another Land and take an ITEM with you for added play! Ambulance: This calls the ambulance which will send the Tamagotchi to the hospital if the Grim Gotchi has shown up to take them away.

The Baby Stage is the second stage of the Tamagotchi life cycle. After the egg hatches, a baby will be born from it. The baby starts off with both the Hungry and Happy meters depleted, therefore requiring immediate care. On versions that include the naming feature, the baby must be named before the user can begin caring for it. Training Games: Three games are dedicated to training the user's Tamagotchi for their potential future career. These are available in the Tamagotchi's character room which can be accessed once they are an adult. The room itself will change appearance depending on the character and playstyle. Rooms have aesthetic changes depending on the characters raised (e.g. Cooking Room might offer either pottages or smoothies, and Customization rooms might offer items or potions), but the gameplay is otherwise identical to each other. PLAY: Press ‘A’ until you get to your ITEM BOX, press ‘B’ to open the options, ‘B’ again to open your ITEMS, ‘B’ to begin playing with the item. Continue to play with your Tamagotchi character to increase its happiness. On the Mothra and Game de Hakken!! Tamagotchi 2, the player cannot interact with the character at all while it is in the cocoon - on the former this stage lasts for one hour, while on the latter it lasts for several in-game hours. By the time it has entered the cocoon, the adult it will evolve to has already been determined.The Debirutch no Tamagotch features a completely unique growth process with four different devil "Classes", these being Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Special. It is born in the Elementary stage, evolves to the Intermediate stage after four days, and the Advanced after five. If special conditions are met, it will reach the Special stage after six days. The stages are roughly equivalent to the child, teen, adult, and special stages respectively. Touch buttons allow you to interact in a whole new way by customizing your items, bathing your character and petting your Tamagotchi character with a swipe of a finger!

The baby's Hungry and Happy meters deplete faster than any other character or stage, poops at a faster rate, and will take a nap instead of sleeping through the night. On most of the early pets released after the 2004 reboot such as the Keitai Kaitsuu Tamagotchi Plus, the IR Communication function cannot be used during this stage. From the Tamagotchi m!x onward, the baby will not be able to travel outside the house.

Tamagotchi – A blast from the past

Regardless of the gender of the Tamagotchi, they always sleep in a blue quilt since child stage, as opposed to in previous color-screen Tamagotchi toys where the female characters would sleep in a pink one with hearts while a male one sleeps in a blue one with stars. The babies still sleep in an orange one with yellow dots. The bed is the same one from Tamagotchi On and since there is no twin feature, there is always a bear next to the Tamagotchi. Football: Pass the ball to the Tamagotchi so they can shoot into the net guarded by a goalie. There are five chances to make a goal.

The TamaOtch features five growth stages that function similarly to the standard growth stages. These are Audition (baby), Debut (child), Active (teenager), Maturity (adult), and Mature (special). Certain characters can appear in multiple stages; for example, Kakuretchi can be in either the Active or Maturity stage depending on what character it was previously and how it was cared for. A character cannot evolve into itself in its next stage.
