A coworker years ago in NY had the cutest baby I have ever seen to this date. Only 4 months old, had an adorable face, well proportioned head, and sharp megan fox-type eyes.

Poor girl probably started looking like her parents after a year or two, but atleast had a few good months.

hehehe

Now mind everyone I said this having two kids....

Most little babies are just nasty looking, lol

Viewing our newborns as "cute" is hard wired into us, it's one of the few ways an infant has of ensuring that it will be fed, cared for and protected.

A lot of newborns are a cross between ET and wrinkled up old men in looks.

They really aren't "cute".

i foresee a c-section in your future, baby-hater

Nah, I wouldn't want unnecessary one, doctors get too c-section happy because they don't have to go to the hospital in the middle of the night. It's a lot more major of a surgery that is not always needed. If I ever need one, then sure.

Very true. My daughter, though, was beautiful from the first breath.

My son wasn't nearly as pretty a newborn, but he is a very cute boy now.

At first I thought ours were fine, but looking back at pics, they look a ton better now than they did before.

Agreed. Newborns look pretty scary. Movies and TV almost always use babies that are at least 6 months old for those newborn shots you see.

Explain why I think some of my friends' babies aren't ugly at all? There's normal looking, then there's just freaky looking, there are both. It doesn't have to be cute vs. ugly.

BTW, I think the whole vaginal birth thing shapes the baby's skull, not the face necessarily. And C-section babies aren't immune to the freakish look so I'm not sure why that's a factor. Babies need more fat in their face before they begin to look cute.

They unsquish and cuten up pretty quick though.

My daughter was stuck in the birth canal for about 2 hours, so when she came out she had a reeeeally elongated head. Made her look like an Egyptian hieroglyph.

My son popped right out (even though he weighted 2 lbs more), so he was pretty round but still had a squished face.

There's some poor kids that look like they went through a meat grinder on the way out. They have forcep scars, smashed heads, eyes bugging out, wrinked up faces, ect.

Other's come out pretty "normal" looking. Our daughter was born natural...but she was a runt (under 5 pounds) so she wasn't putting up much of a fight on the way out. Parent or not, she's one of the cuter looking newborns I've seen.
