I'd be concerned about pesticide exposure if the baby was at the 
field. Even if regulations are being followed (e.g., keeping workers 
out of the field for X hours after spraying), I'd still be wary 
because the baby's would be more vulnerable to any pesticide-related 
harm. First because he or she is so young and still developing, 
second because the regs were likely written with adults and adult 
exposures in mind.
