In the Netherlands there is a comedian Herman Finkers that had a sketch in one of his shows related to this problem: What to call an ugly baby? His solution was to call them "a sweet baby" ("een lief kind"). His neighbours have the sweetest baby he'd ever seen in his life. So next time you're at a loss what to say about a baby, just call it a "a sweet baby" :-)
