Here is the scene:
After a restless and anxious night, mother and baby are sprawled in the master bed, carefully hemmed in with pillows for safety. Baby has finally settled down to not thrashing constantly, though there is a little space between them because baby kicks like a mule.
Mother, hazed and so exhausted that when she closes her eyes she feels like everything in the world reduces to wireframe and starts to spin giddily around her head, squints blearily at sleeping baby.
Sleeping baby rolls onto her side.
Baby's arms come up, blindly groping, her eyes unopened, flailing with silent, toothless menace. The arms claw forward, grasp, the roll moves a little further.
TIny hands close around a nipple.
The mouth opens ....
(Infancy: the Zombie Movie. Booooooooooooooooooobs.)
