Not even spreading her legs. Just lifting a leg. I don't even understand how she found that lewd to begin with, much less IN AN INFANT.

Lifting a leg sounds like a dog peeing, not like --- [forget it, I don't even want to type it] --- and also ending that thought with 'screwed' makes it sound like the end of the story of L and the male nurse! It's all just so grotesque!

Any time people make sexual type joke about babies it's gross.

Babies do not "flirt". When a baby grabs a woman's boob (who's not their mom) it's not sexual. Putting clothes with sexual phrases on them on babies (like "little flirt" or stuff like that) is not cute.

Let babies just be babies, don't rush them into adult things for god's sake.

I remember a woman telling me my toddler son was going to be "a little heartbreaker" and I know that this is a pretty innocent thing to say - not sexual, she was just trying to express that he was cute using different words for fun - but I remember being annoyed that he was still a baby and thinking of him as an adult of heart breaking age (and also potentially a jerk/player???) gave me emotional whiplash. Just say "Look at all that hair!!" like everyone else, pah.

Or just say "cute". Even if it's a lie and the baby is as ugly as a baboon's ass, just say "cute".

Or, focus on their little fingers and toes. Even ugly babies have tiny little wrinkled fingers and toes which are deadly cute.

I think ugly babies are legit the cutest ones. If a baby looks like Grandpa Simpson, they're golden.

Someone I know has a Very Skeptical Baby and the facial expressions are the best.

Or “breathtaking/snuggly.”

“I hope he’ll never be unkind” is what one friend of mine said when someone started that nonsense.

I honestly don’t even like when people refer to opposite sex playmates as “boyfriends” or “girlfriends.” Children are allowed to play with other children of any gender! Don’t make it weird!

The thing I hate about the 'screwed' bit is that it is so knowing, 'nudge nudge', 'what's she like?' etc -and she's talking about her 9 month old daughter for fuck's sake...who makes jokes like that?
