Some companies allow bringing baby to work. Is that a good thing?

If your job encouraged you to bring your infant, would you? A report in this week's Time Magazine says that Parenting in the Workplace Institute has a database of 70+ baby-friendly U.S. companies with more being added regularly. Whether people are for it, against it, or think it's best on a case-by-case basis, one thing is constant - people have strong opinions about it. Of course we have an office full of Moms here and a few strong opinions ourselves. Not all of us agree that babies at work are necessarily a good idea... do you?
