See now you’re all offended, but the thing is you came up with that coddling baby summary.
I didn’t say you don’t know how to interact with a baby (I’ve never seen you).
You got me defensive and perhaps I should have been more careful in my wording, allow me to try that again.
I know you don’t know what I’m talking about regarding my interactions with infants and toddlers. Then I went through the trouble of trying to explain how I act, and I’ve had the chance to watch plenty of others interacting with infants. There is a distinct different between seeing the baby, and seeing the person in there, that most don’t get.

I’ve always been a bit of serious kinda guy, the kinda guy the never had a nickname till a couple decades ago when my twin first called me “baby whisper,” which was echoed by my kid sister (not to be mistaken with our baby sister), nowadays it’s echoed by my wife’s son and wife, parents of my three most recent additions to the pageant of little ones that have entered my life. That’s for a reason. Which has been reinforced after the past couple weeks of bonding with yet another sweet little baby.
