Trivia
All of the crying and vocalizations for the baby character "Yoshi" was actually the voice of lead dialogue editor Ashley Harvey's 18 month old daughter (also named Ashley), recorded and cut by him for this episode. Asked what he did to get her to scream and cry so loudly and horribly, his answer was: "She crys after her nap to let us know she is ready to get up. I just didn't go get her right away - and she was not amused."

Goofs
In the Season 5 episode In Purgatory's Shadow (1997), Kira tells Jadzia that Kirayoshi spent seven months in her belly; however, in this episode she tells Odo that she had him inside of her for five months.

Quotes
Lt. Commander Worf: I am a Klingon warrior, and a Starfleet officer. I've piloted starships through Dominion minefields; I've stood in battle against Kelvans twice my size; I courted and won the heart of the magnificent Jadzia Dax. If I can do these things, I can make this child go to sleep!
Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax: Talk about losing perspective.

By far the dumbest written episode in DS9 for me

A number of highly unlikely things have to go wrong for this episode to begin another amount for the ending and in the middle the seemingly worst parents ever.

Would you quit your job to be with your daughter? O'Brian thinks theres a better way..

Just watch it for how bad it is.
