Ever feel uncomfortable holding someone’s child? Or don't like being asked to see someone's baby? Just say you're sick (or just recovering). The parents will be very happy to keep the bay far away from you.

Why would anyone stick their ugly baby in my hands? I guess I can't imagine it as I live 40k deep in the forest.

That's a great one. Alternately, reach for the baby, but pause to have a terrible coughing fit. Then mention that you don't have allergies or anything, and reach for the baby again.
