I have had this dream at least 3 times a week for the past few weeks. The situations change, but the theme is the same: I'm taking care a really small baby--a newborn--who is always bundled up, and I can't really see his face. Every time, however, I end up having to leave it: yesterday, I left him at an airport baggage storage so I could catch a plane; a few days ago I left it outside so I could sleep in a cabin. And, in all my dreams, I always come back to get it, and a strange and vague worry that it is starving to death. I then carefully do whatever I can to nurish the lethargic baby--ie milk, yogurt, strawberries, nursing him--and then my dreams end.
I don't have a kids. I would love kids in the future. My dad did just have a baby in June (i was an only child up until that point). I'm thinking of changing careers (I'm currently in my first job after graduating from college). I just moved into my first apartment by myself...but I don't get these dreams!
Can anyone help?

EDIT:
I totally overlooked the part that the baby is not yours. It changes the meaning in a significant way. Sorry I wasn't more observant.
Somebody may be expecting your help fulfilling THEIR dream. This may be putting some undue pressure on you because you have other things you are trying to do. So you try to compensate or even over-invest when you have the time.
******************************************
Babies represent new starts, and this is appropriate considering that you are pondering on a new career and are in a new home.
Couple of questions:
Are there improvements you are attempting to complete in your new place that you keep getting drawn away from?
Do you have an idea about what career you would like to move into, but you recognize that some prep work still needs to be done?
Are you keeping your dreams hidden so you can work on them privately?
The main themes seem to be about distractions getting in the way of prioritizing and investing in your dreams. Oh, and your dreams may still be a bit vague because you can't see the face of the baby.

To dream about a starving baby, represents your dependence on others. You are experiencing some deficiency in your life that needs immediate attention and gratification. Also you keep leaving it? You say you just moved into your first apartment by yourself and your switching jobs. ~takes a deep breathe~ OK lets go.
A baby in a dream does signify responsibitly. You keep leaving the baby, abandoning this responsibitlies and you always coem backto a starving baby. You were an only child. Perhaps your feeling some kinda of animosity that now there is a nother child you must share attention with. You come back to the responsibitly Think of it this way.
You try to go away and stop being the oldest sibling that you are, and the child to your parents. But youcome back because its family. Perhaps something is going on at mom and dads?
Or perhaps it could relate to your job? There are many things goin on your in your life right now that this dream can relate to. If it keeps reoccuring, pay closer attention to the surroundings. Where do you find this baby? Where are you up into the point where you abandon it? Just pay attention and keep in mind, put the puzzle togather when you know more about the dream.

First of all its important that you are an only child for the most part. Second you mention a new sibling at a time in your life when you are facing your own life changing events. Then theres the career versus marriage versus the timing of having a child. So , the fact that you have this dream repeatedly , pick up the child where you left off in your previous dream, concern over the childs wellbeing, some of the feeding methods or types of nurioushment being unrealistic for a newborn and the fact that you seem to know the infants gender is really several concerns and lack of knowledge combined. Your being raised as an only child , the fact that you seem to leave the infant in various and odd places, and the worry of the over the infants wellbeing is all symbolic of a woman lacking in maternal examples (your mother is not mentioned nor do i get the feeling that there was much opportunities for maternal examples) The infant your father has im guessing is a boy, with someone other than your biological mother. You dont mention if you are married or not but from what i read, probably not. You are just beginning your adult life with lots of changes and thoughts about when to chose having your career , marriage and having children. Combined with the lack of maternal examples this indicates serious concerns of a lack of Maternal knowledge and what you want for your life in cronological order. Rest assured you are not the first woman to have to make career versus marriage and children decisions. I believe for the most part you want children in your life at some point but fear not knowing how to be a mother and having an infant that depends completely on you for its nurturing and survival. I also believe you father having a new baby is symbolic of your thoughts and worries over having a child and all the responsiblities that goes with having a child of your own. This is probably something you hadnt given a whole lot of thought to until presented with a new sibling, since your dream doesnt indicate any motherly examples. Dont panic though, every woman who has children has many fears with the first one . Especially if they are an only child and dont really have any idea on how to raise the child in the beginning. I suggest that you go ahead and fulfill your desire for the career , then the marriage and children following later. I strongly suggest that you take maternal and parenting classes before having a child so that your fears will be eased somewhat. Best of luck and happiness to you :)

Newborn baby can represent a responsibility in your life that you are trying to cast off. However, you feel convicted about abandoning this responsibility, that's why you keep coming back to take care of it.
