OMG what an ugly baby

Each new-born baby is a joy to behold and a harbinger of good luck to its own family. No one thinks a new-born is ugly in the actual sense of the word and since babies reflect the physical characteristics of their family members, so people know what to expect. Even then, if a child is born exceptionally ugly, nobody says so on the face and no mother asks whether her child is cute or not. Holding a baby in you arms gives you a different kind of feeling which has nothing to do with external beauty. But then friends and family members do talk about the looks, behind the mother’s back. Its not bad all the time you know, out of such discussion many remedial measures come up and a child actually grows up with much better features than it had as a baby.

Newborn babies, in general, can tend to look a bit disconcerting. (They are most definitely not the pink-cheeked two or three month old cherubs that we see used as newborns in movies and television!) The birthing process is rough on the wee one. Even if I truly did think the child was ugly, there is usually something to find appealling. "Look at that hair!" or "What nice eyes!" or "What good strong lungs!" (That works if the babe is crying!) Really, the parents are probably going to be absolutely gaga with love over the new baby, compliments are not required, just heart-felt congratulations for the parents. (And perhaps an offer to wash the dishes or bring over dinner one night in the near future!)

I have never seen an ugly baby in my life... i consider all babies beautiful maybe because of their innocence... they are so cute no matter what race, weight, etc...

Hi. There is no baby in the world, that I would think or say as being ugly... Babies are the innocent little gifts that we are lucky enough to have and hold and love for the rest of our lives... I would never think or tell someone there babie was ugly, because all babies are treasured gifts, and at one time in our lives we were babies too... OMG what an unusual post lol... What drove you to creating this post... Just curious?

Lol what a great discussion. My neice was recently born and when I saw her I was forced to not say anything. I believe most newborn babies are pretty ugly for our standards but most of the time in a few weeks they get pretty cute (if your wondering where the experience is from, I have 3 neices and a nephew lol) Now my niece is really adorable.

I would never tell any parent that their precious baby is ugly. I probably would say "He looks just like his Dad!" or something without saying the baby was beautiful but really, babies are beautiful to their parents and if anyone ever said my babies were ugly, I doubt I would be talking to them even today (and my kids are 21 and 16). I have come across this and I just say things like, "Wow, she has so much hair!" or "Look how tiny he is!" That's being honest without saying anything hurtful.

You can say that straight to the parents that their baby is ugly and I believe the baby could tell if your telling nice or bad things. Youmight offend the baby.. hehehe do not under estimate the baby's sense of hearing. Newborn are fragile.hehehe I love babies. I guess you love them too.

I wouldn't say anything because it will hurt the feeling of the mother.. I will just look at the baby and for that baby is a blessing for the parents..
