I don't think the issue is the mother's erotic feelings at
intimate contact with the baby/child, but rather the child's
erotic feelings at seeing and being in contact with a private part of
the mother's body. BTW, many parents will not bathe with their
children (particularly of the opposite sex) after age one or many 1.5.
