Yeah, I wouldn't expect other people to like/hold my baby. I'm not a particular fan of other people's babies either, and they're often not fans of me. It's pretty awful when some proud mother hands you her baby and then the baby starts crying.
When I was born, my mother thought people would want to see and hold the new baby. Result? Mother grew tired and cranky receiving so many visitors, I grew tired and cranky from being disturbed all the time, and visitors weren't really impressed by either mother or baby. For her subsequent children, my mother subtly discouraged visitors and let sleeping babies lie.

My step-sister pretty much had that realization. If any of my nephews / nieces after the first would start crying when people are like "aw lemme hold da baby" my sister would say, "Okay fun is over." Which is how I'd handle things.
Luckily I was able to pre-emptively avoid baby holding. When asked 'hey, when are you having kids?' a quick response of "If I wanted to be stuck with a screaming, demanding, compeltely self absorbed shit and vomit factory, I wouldn't have divorced my last one."
Said loud enough in a crowded office, and it even assures they keep their kids away from you during take your kids to work days!
Except my bosses kids. But they're teenagers who just want to talk video games anyhow, so we coo'.
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.
I was dropped as a baby. As my gran carried me out of hospital at 7 days old after spending my first week of life in the ICU. Thanks gran! But I turned out fine, I think. Or at least only damaged in ways hidden to society, which is hardly damage at all.
What I'm saying here is throw your babies.
I bounced myself off our countertop when I was a baby and hit my head.
I turned out ok.
I flipped out of a cart
Luckily I was all bundled up (winter baby) so plenty of padding
I believe the only baby that didn't cry when I hold it is my friends' kid. Which is good cause I see that kid a bunch.
Might be the curly hair. Babies just don't know what to make of it. My friend has a big ol afro though, so my hair was nothing.
Also, holding babies while being the Easter Bunny was terrifying.
So glad I had assistant so help me cause I couldn't see shit.
Fear: having to watch anyone else die again. Like, watch the light drain from their eyes. It's the worst thing I think I've ever experienced.
Oh God. This sucks. I know how much this sucks...
My dad sat next to man he worked with who was sawed in half in a horrific lumber-mill accident, trying to comfort him as he died (not to mention all the crap he was exposed to in Vietnam). My brother had one of his closest friends die in his arms on the side of the road after a motorcycle accident and found our next door neighbor after her motorcycle accident (deer tried to jump over her and kicked her in the helmet - led to brain damage).
Somehow I've thus far managed to avoid actually witnessing the tragic, untimely death/catastrophic accident of someone I know.
Maybe it's a good thing I don't have a lot of friends in RL ... for their sake.

Still, out of pretty much all mammals, we take by far the longest to grow into some kind of form that can adequately defend itself.
At least, that's what I'm led to believe based on very poor information.
The post natal growth period of humans is incredibly long when compared to other hominids chimpanzees or bonobos.

Just... ugh. Can you imagine going through pregnancy and giving birth to a perfectly healthy baby and then he dies by complete accident?
It was her first child, too.
Something like that would make me absolutely lose my shit.

which is what babies are.
"No thanks."
Invariably whoever I'm with will then step in and take the kid.
And then they took the baby away.

so he did
turns out all he was after was the prestige, and didn't care for actually holding the baby, so he dropped me
in such a way that I struck my head
I only learned this story comparatively recently, like four or five years ago, when a relative accidentally let it slip
Now... toddlers. Oh my god. I want my children to go from, like, 1 1/2 years old to like 12 years old, please.

I do not like the ocean, and have a fearful respect of its power. It has tried to kill me twice now.
Rats, ants, and roaches make me very nauseous in a way that reminds me of fear.
Somebody isn't going to be a mother.
Babies are ugly
Okay no, I guess that's not really true
NEWBORNS are not cute
Babies are okay

I hate all children.
Trying to work at a school was the dumbest thing I ever did
"Doesn't he have his fathers eyes?"
No. He's a baby. They all look exactly the same. Stop being an asshole.

When little baby first learns to smile it's just d'awwwwwwww
then they burp up lunch or they poop or start screaming and godamnit
Upside, we eventually become the deadliest game
I know, it's just kind of insensitive and can be taken the wrong way.
