Don't Sneeze When You Hold a Baby

When you are holding a baby and you have to sneeze, it is a good idea to not just go ahead and sneeze all over the baby. If possible, try to turn your head, in a direction completely away from the baby, even if it is directed directly towards the mother, and let your sneeze go boom.

I shouldn't have to tell you that sneezing on a baby is dumb. You should know better. But, if you don't, then here's where I tell you to not sneeze on a baby because it is dumb. Just don't do it. Seriously.

Covering your mouth, like with your shoulder sleeve, is considered a good idea when you have to sneeze and you don't want to spread your sneeze germs all over the place. However, if you do have to sneeze, and you cover up, and you are holding a baby, then it is probably a good idea to just go ahead and pass the baby to person on your left, so you can go wash your hands.
