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.

Nepiophilia/Infantophilia is often categorised as a subset of pedophilia - notably by psychiatrists and psychologists. MAPs, who instead tend to view Pedophilia as a low-end normative chronophilia, might occasionally debate to what extent Nepiophilia is a fixation. Generally, MAPs do not condemn Nepiophilia per se, and include it in their lexicon, regardless of their pro-contact stance or otherwise.
