By nature, parents will not eat their babies.
If they do, there must be some reasons.
a) The babies are not healthy.
b) The babies are sick.
c) The parents feel their babies are not secure.
d) They have been disturbed or frightened.

Sometimes you may have mistaken that they eat babies:
a) Parents clean or bathe their babies. They swallow into mouth and blow them in certain spot.
b) Parents shift their babies to a better or ideal location with mouth. Don’t panic and nervous and do anything to frighten them.
