Take it or leave it. Babies are basically breathing petrie dishes so. It's a little different when it's family though. When it's family or friends so close they are family it's different. As soon as they chit or show signs of puking I hand them off to someone else though.
Babies are a curious phenomenon and, like the philosopher's stone, have the ability to transmute a room full of feminists into a gushing, gooing, group of baby cuddlers.
Well, I'll try to get you pregnant, but I don't think it's going to happen. Wouldn't hurt to try though or maybe it would hurt. We will have to see.

Literally---no not really. They are fragile and always require head support. But I do like being around them for a short time, and I will let them fall asleep on me.
In general, I'm pretty useless around babies and young toddlers until they get to be about 2 years old. By then they are less fragile and can interact with me more.
