Am I being racist towards newborn babies?
I think they start looking cute after a few weeks. Right after birth, I totally agree with you, can't understand as well what would make them cute, or why ppl would think that. But I could imagine if it's when it is your own newborn you are looking at, haven't made that experience yet 😅

Instinct, it all comes down to the survival of the species and the need for a newborn to be protected/nurtured by adults. Although, I tend to agree with you that some babies aren't as cute as their parents would like to make you believe ;>.

I think human babies never look cute, not when they are just born, not when they are a bit older, but I kind of hate babies/kids in general anyway :P BUT animal babies can be so cute and adorable! not all but a lot are so cute!!

...Actually, that's a baby rhinoceros beetle. XD
(There's nothing quite like moving a pile of firewood and finding a bunch of four-inch grubs. At that point, I had to raise one just to find out what it'd turn into.)

It is a basic Human instinct to feel protective of a baby which we often equate to "cute" which often spills over to baby anythings being cute. Some people don't have this feeling until they have one of there own, and some never really connect with the whole baby/protect emotion. It's an instinct to preserve and continue the Human race.

Yep. It has to do with certain traits like a large, round, head (relative to body size), a big forehead, large eyes. Because lots of other baby animals also have this, people think of them as cute too. They even get bonus points for being fluffy!

I do find babies very cute, generally. I do not know why but they just are, same reason why I find cats very cute.

I would presume that when the baby is born, parently love makes it look cute as hell..
Other then that - no god damn idea what others find cute in babies..

One reason: Evolution. Parents who didn't see their babies as cute practically reduced the chance of their survival. This is also why people tend to see their babies as cute, but not so much other people's babies.

It's laid genetically. Another young generation will be cast forever and perish. Similarly, with sex, the body receives such a great stress that, if it were not so nice - all would have long been extinct.

They're not. But think you have a baby and your family comes up and instead of "Aaawww, he/she is so cute!" says "Omg, that looks horrible" xD

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Besides, babies are the best excuse for parents to do all sorts of crazy stuff:

Not every baby is cute. Some babies are prettier than others, especially after birth they can look akward. they become cute after a few weeks though.

Human reaction to proportions. Like cutifying this hammer

All new kids look like shit.
Sometime it even is shit.
Unless it's your own or related to you.
Then it's cuteness overload time.

it is simple biology. we have to find them cute in order to care for them. noone wants to care for a crying shit bag if they were also ugly as fuck. :D

We're hardwired to find babies cute and adorable, thank millions of years of evolution overriding the logical conclusion in our brains so we can put up with all the inconveniences of taking care of a newborn, otherwise our species wouldn't have survived to this day.

When your own child is born, then you will understand. People react to babies because of their connection to children. (Although part of it is inherent in our nature.) Also, being nice to another person's baby is good tact.

I also do not find them cute. I understand parents liking the look of their own babies, but how do people find other people's babies beautiful? I don't get it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, this is basically what I was trying to talk about, some people genuinely find all newborn babies cute and not just in front of the babies' parents which is kinda weird to me

They all look/act the same way, after seeing a newly born baby for the first time, there's nothing new or surprising about them the next time you see one unless they were really fat/skinny yet people keep freaking out about newborn babies like this is their first time seeing one even if the baby wasn't theirs
Is it because they are small? and small = cute?
small =/= cute most of the time
Edit: just to clarify, I don't see babies disgusting, but babies are just babies and I don't get what makes them cute for many people
