Meanings
(transitive) To coddle; to pamper somebody like an infant.
Then the man effected measles and stayed off the job for six weeks, babying himself at home, though he lived just round the corner from my half-built house. 1944, Emily Carr, “Friction”, in The House of All Sorts:
[…] though he tried to be gruff and mature, he yielded to her and was glad to be babied. 1922, Sinclair Lewis, Babbitt, New York, N.Y.: Harcourt, Brace and Company, →OCLC:
(transitive) To tend (something) with care; to be overly attentive to (something), fuss over.
In the past 27 years, "Mr. Mac," as he is known to his 46,000 teammates, has built and babied his McDonnell Co. from nothing into a $1 billion-a-year corporation. 1967 March 31, “Mr. Mac and His Team”, in Time:
1912, Linda Craig, interviewed by Theresa Forte, "Tree and Twig farm — a treasure chest of heirloom tomatoes," Welland Tribune, 25 May, 2012, https://web.archive.org/web/20171205052150/http://www.wellandtribune.ca/2012/05/23/tree-and-twig-farm--a-treasure-chest-of-heirloom-tomatoes
I have grown them for years and although some years are better than others, I have always had loads of tomatoes by not babying them, going easy on the water, and fertilizing with compost in the planting hole.
