Then why did they make that stupid episode about Bender being a baby robot when they already made another episode in the first season about him being born a full adult robot on an assembly line?

A wizard did it

I just chalk some things up to creative freedom.

I like to pretend that bender is an untrustworthy narrator and while he thinks he was born on the assembly line fully grown he actually was not

I like that theory! And it makes his son's birth and growth into adulthood a viable concept. Thank you for sharing.

I was actually frustrated at that inconsistency myself. Then you have the vending machine baby. Do robots age? Well his son apparently went through puberty and everything. I don't mind suspension of disbelief or shows that use multiple timelines to explain things (looking at you Star Trek), but here we are left without any explanation with two completely different, viable realities.
