Baby
A baby in dreams often speaks to new beginnings or vulnerable parts of the self requiring care and attention. The baby's condition matters—bright and content may reflect hope or tenderness, while distress can mirror the dreamer's own unease about what feels fragile or unformed within.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for baby, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of crying babies, is indicative of ill health and disappointments.
A bright, clean baby, denotes love requited, and many warm friends. Walking alone, it is a sure sign of independence and a total ignoring of smaller spirits. If a woman dream she is nursing a baby, she will be deceived by the one she trusts most.
It is a bad sign to dream that you take your baby if sick with fever. You will have many sorrows of mind.
