If my husband read LactNet, I'm sure he would chime in right about now that
a man who goes anywhere with a baby is automatically a "Babe Magnet."  All
the young girls/women want to come over to see the baby and fawn over the
dad for being a "80's/90's sensitive-kind-of-guy."  Kind of like walking a
puppy.
