The only story I know that has an infant in it as the main character is 'Willow'. My question: Would it work for a story? I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure if they would work.
Babies are pretty easy to care for, if you keep them wrapped up against your body they pretty much sleep all day.
If you need any help with that, send me a PM. I have had four babies in the last six years and am pretty much an expert at this point. I can help you with any details you might need regarding infant nature and motherly instinct and the like. I took my babies everywhere and could definitely expound on what traveling while pregnant, labor on the road, or carrying a newborn on an adventure would feel like.
I have written three or four pregnant women in my novels, and have a baby I follow through to adulthood. So for me, I wonder why you don't see it more too. Babies are a fact of life. The only thing that puts me off are like in Legend of the Seeker, where that one woman has a baby in like twenty minutes and then gets up and keeps running with the group of refugees... Yeah. The pain is overwhelming before you get to the pushing bit, she wouldn't have given a rat's behind who was on her trail she would have abandoned the group the moment her instincts kicked in and told her pursuers she was going to rip their arms off and beat them to death with them if they caught up to her. And sorry, not to be crude, but if it's your first baby... you're not getting up and WALKING anywhere.
If you need any help with that, send me a PM.
