{{R with history}}
This is the second ''Tom and Jerry'' short to be animated by ], who arrived from ] after working on '']'', a '']'' cartoon also released in 1943. Except some time spent at ] in the 1950s, Patterson would continue to work for Hanna and Barbera until the 1980s. This is also one of the cartoons where Tom and Jerry both lose in the end.

==Plot==
A little girl named Nancy is playing dollhouse and pretending to be the mother, and has also dressed Tom, apparently the family pet, up to be her baby. She scolds Tom, who is hiding under some furniture. She drags Tom out by his tail and threatens to spank him with a hairbrush. Tom is resentful over his treatment and feels humiliated. She carries him to the bassinet, tucks him in, and shoves a baby bottle of milk in his mouth. She warns him, under threat of more spanking, to stay in bed while she goes downtown to buy a new ]. Indignant at first, Tom gets a taste of milk and quickly accepts his lot, cooing like a baby and drinking from his baby bottle.

Jerry peeks from behind a dollhouse and sees Tom. Incredulous at first, Jerry proceeds to tease him by playing "]" on the ] and pretends to be a baby himself. Tom is furious and chases Jerry into the dollhouse and puts a sign that reads "Measles". Tom looks in the window to see that Jerry is in the bathtub, pretending he is bathing and brushing himself and humming the melody of "]". Seeing Tom, he screams, hits him with the brush, runs downstairs to the bedroom and hides in a bed, causing a doll to turn up and shout "Mama!" Jerry uses the doll's clothes to disguise himself as a girl holding an umbrella, but his shirt falls off of him leaving his shoes on his feet and white pants that goes under it. Tom tries to open the dollhouse roof when Nancy returns and scolds him again. Spanking Tom (off-screen) and tucking him back in bed, then she threatens to feed him ] if he gets out again.

Tom then goes back to playing. Jerry emerges from the dollhouse and runs to the window to get the attention of ], ], and ], Tom's three alley cat friends who are outside. When the trio see Tom, they begin to bully him. When Tom confronts the other cats, they continue to bully him, tossing him like throwing a ball, causing him to land in a fishbowl, resulting in a wet ]. They then capture him and change his wet, dirty diaper with a fresh diaper, a safety pin, ], baby powder, and a tight frilly pair of girl's rubber pants over the new diaper and Topsy throws the fish from the fishbowl into his pants and they sing "]" with Jerry joining in. But the whole song stops when Nancy returns and demands to know what is going on. The other cats flee as Nancy prepares to scold Tom. She then takes Tom to a high chair, forcing him to take castor oil. He resists at first. Jerry then squeezes a nutcracker on Tom's tail to make Tom yell in pain and therefore drink the spoonful of castor oil. Tom immediately feels nauseous, clamps his front paws over his mouth and rushes to ] out of the window. Jerry laughs at Tom's misfortune, but ] comes to bite him as the castor oil bottle, having turned over after Tom ran off the high chair he was sitting on, spills some of the castor oil out over him. Jerry ends up taking a dose of it himself, becomes nauseous as well and quickly joins Tom being sick out of the window.
