We're meant to gaze admiringly at the little miracles, but I have a confession to make: I'm babyphobic - The Guardian 9th October 2007

It's not just the looking. You often have to do holding, which makes me nervous. What if I drop it? There seems to be a baby boom at the moment. People are having babies all over the place, which is fabulous if one adores babies in general, but not so fabulous if you're not that keen on them, unless they're yours or closely related, then you can gaze adoringly at the little miracles for ever. I find that 10 minutes admiring the dinky little fingers and heavenly widgy face and saying, "What a lovely baby," is about enough for me.
