I wouldn't know, I was a baby. But I was very cute as a toddler, although sadly only until age 5 or so.

I admit I'm not a fan of babies but they can be kind of cute - but newborns all red and squashed are not objectively beautiful other than in the sense any new life is beautiful so when someone puts a photo on FB why do you get so much gushing about the baby looking "gorgeous", "stunning", etc?

I stick with "congratulations"
