I've lost the thread, so I'll have to start a new one.

Harry describes the experience as quite unpleasant:
 
  "Harry felt Dumbledore's arm twist away and redoubled his grip; the  next 
thing he knew,everything went black; he was being pressed very hard from  all 
directions; he could not breathe; there were iron bands tightening around  his 
chest; his eyeballs were being forced back into his head; his eardrums were  
being pushed deeper into his skull and then --
   "He gulped great lungfuls of cold night air and opened his  streaming 
eyes.  He felt as though he had just been forced through a very  tight rubber 
tube."
 
 
(US edition p. 58)
 
It's quite possible that apparating/disapparating with a baby will harm or  
even kill the baby.
