Some are ugly, some are beautiful, some are ordinary - just like real humans, eh?
Evolutionarily, mothers need to think their baby is beautiful and the most important baby in the world, to make up for all the hard work, sleepless nights, etc that go with motherhood, not to mention the guilt of never being the perfect mother.
I've noticed a big change in men's responses to babies over the last 30 years or so: it used to only be us women whose faces went all soft and doting when a new baby came into view, now lots of men do it too, which I think is great. Back then it was almost unheard of for men to carry babies around, take them to the supermarket or the park, now you see it all the time.
