Nepiophilia (from Greek nepio-, "infant," + -philia, "love") or Infantophilia is an erotic attraction to, or age preference for infants or toddlers. The term is commonly used in minor attracted person communities to distinguish this attraction from an attraction to older prepubescent children (which is called pedophilia) and adolescents (which is called ephebophilia or hebephilia). The age range nepiophilia covers is generally 0 to 3 years old. Toddlercon is a type of Lolicon or Shotacon that features drawn toddlers and babies.

  • Research: Nonwestern Intergenerational Relationships - and its resources such as Growing Up Sexually, includes many references to Nepi-compatible behaviours among primitive people (baby play). These, however would tend to have arisen due to (the lack of) cultural norms, as opposed to rampant Nepiophilia.

MAPs, who instead tend to view Pedophilia as a low-end normative chronophilia, might occasionally debate to what extent Nepiophilia is a fixation. Generally do not condemn Nepiophilia per se, and include it in their lexicon.
