Question

Is it permissible for me to take a baby from my wife's hands while she is in niddah?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

There is a difference between a baby who moves by themselves from one person to another, which is not considered as handing over from hand to hand, and a baby who does not move by themselves. Even if a baby knows how to move by themselves, it is forbidden to transfer them if they do not move by themselves.
