If you can choose to care for the baby or leave it...

[Hillbilly_Dave]

If everyone else is dead and at the end it's just Clem and the baby, what will your Clem do if given a choice? Myself? I'll leave Alvin Jr. in the first trash can I find, probably brain it first though, to be merciful. Even though she's more resourceful and intelligent than most of the idiot adults around her, there's no way Clem can keep an infant and herself alive. The baby will need lots and lots of formula, so assuming she can keep it fed, Clem's going to spend more time foraging for baby formula than things she needs. Aside from that, babies cry, a lot. Every time it's hungry or cold or tired or gassy or whatever, it's going to cry and draw walkers, which is gonna get Clem and it killed. So yeah, call me cruel, heartless, whatever, if given a choice, my Clem is gonna ditch that baby first chance she gets.

Good logic for getting rid of the child is that it WILL get you both killed, but I could never bring myself to do it - even to a pixel baby. Felt bad about that dog, a baby will kill me!

Could be interesting, I dunno know.. Both maybe.

[Beat Monkey]

Here's a possibility....as they'll likely kill off a few more of the characters due to the finale of ep. 4, they can have Christa return and become a surrogate mother to the baby since she lost the one she was going to have with Omid. In fact, if they do go this route, I'd say they'd likely kill off Kenny(again...ok bad South Park joke lol) for her to take his place(one season 1 character for another).

Meh, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ leave it.
Sad thing is the dog at the beginning I had more emotion for than any of the characters, except maybe luke. But I still like the dog best.
GG telltale, killed best character in first 10 mins.

While the cold hard calculating angle of surviving would say, you can't keep the baby alive and safe in this environment,... there has to be something said about how we as a species tamed our surroundings, eliminated the predators, domesticated animals, learnt agriculture etc, in large part due to our need to protect our weakest family members. Human children/ infants take a relative long time to mature and become self sufficient. They remain dependant on their family unit for quite a long time.
Compare that with those species where there is no such dependence. Most herd creatures have young which are up and running within hours.
In many respects, the need to protect our young is a driving force for conquering our environs,, as opposed to the nomadic or herd like existance other species and indeed many of the survivors in the Walking Dead lead.
If the species is the survive, then at some point the survivors are going to have to stop being scavengers and start adapting to the new reality and start being builders, farmers, conquerors and also start having babies,.. otherwise within a decade or so there will be no more survivors.

Maybe a bit deep, but I suppose the storyline is going to have to go that way at some point.

[Scribble Clash]

While by all means I put those with high survivability before anything else, leaving a baby behind would be the wrong way to go in my opinion.
If it plays out to be impossible to survive with offspring, then there's no hope for the survival of anyone. The risk that comes with a baby in this scenario, is one that I think has to be taken.

It'd be a way to profile psychopathy or the influence thereof among players of video games. Of course that sick online survival dayz or whatever is more appropriate.

FInd the first group you can find that seems half decent, give them the baby and move on. Yeah, the baby will be a huge bother for just one person to take care of but my Clem isn't a zombie yet.

[Friendly Fire]

To be fair, a lot of the "survivors" in this series do behave like idiots a lot of the time. I appreciate that in the initial stages of the outbreak it would be hell with the chaos, looting, failure of infrastructure (clean water, sanitation) etc,... however a year or so on, only those who successfully adapted would still be around,... people who can plan ahead, keep cool, fight smart.
You would see a semi fuedal society, where "strongholds" exist, probably no ammo left at that point, so fighting the undead would resemble a mismash of modern public order and medieval tactics with the use of stake and fire pits, funneling and shield walls, spears, trench spikes etc.

There would be tyrants and religious nutters running some of these strongholds, but also survivalists and genuine excellent leaders. The worst kind of criminals criminals would likely diminish due to infighting and their own self destructive tendencies in time. That means that some kind of stability would have to be out there for having children and "communities".
However, caring for a baby "on the run" in zombie territory would end very quickly in tragedy. Realistically this is something you should have had a good 8-9 months to plan and consider.

[Boskov]

I would pass on the "take out the knee" trick that Jane taught me, give it a nail file, and be on my way. Anacondas don't raise their young, so why should Clem?

[Adel]

You do know Clem is no anaconda right?

[MissChibiGoddess TTV]

its carver Jr from the skin tone.

how did humans survive in the past and look after babies n kids?
how did we get to where we are today without looking after them with our lives?
Where would we be now if we had this mind set to kill them cause we were prey.

[bollo]

meh, who knows?

Cuz before we didn't have to worry about us being detected by sound of a baby's crying who deosen't know any better. We was never prey and we lived safly knowing that death isn't a day to day life. Before we knew that even if we died the child might still have made it. The child is pretty much dead anyway it will slow you down and lower your chances for survival more than it already are considering day to day survival is already hard. And when you die the baby will die with you. It will cry so laud a walker will hear it and eat it. You don't see hords chasing you wherever you go do you?

Walkers only find, chase and eat very likly in groups and they outnumber the living by far. You don't have to worry about something like that in real life
