The Balinese believe thar Babies are re-incarnations of deceased people, newly returned from Heaven and therefore to be revered as demi-Gods.
If a Balinese person on Staff, picks up your baby and disappears with it, don't be alarmed as he/she is passing it on to others on Staff for a dandle, cuddle and adoration of this little Spirit newly returned.
Be prepared to bask in this adoration of your baby and don't be alarmed; enjoy.
