How to use baby in a sentence?
There is nothing like a newborn baby to renew your spirit - and to buttress your resolve to make the world a better place.

It also echoes some things like 'welfare baby' and things like that that make it sound like what's really going on is some strange people are having too many babies and overwhelming majority culture, i think there's that image that's associated with some of these terms, like talking about people breeding too much.
The baby gave me a chance. I’ve got to give the baby a chance.
