Would you want to work with a baby in the next cubicle?

I read an article in The Arizona Republic about how there's a rise in companies that allow moms to bring their babies to work. The article includes a photo of a mom working in her cubicle with her baby in a tiny crib next to her. Maternity programs like this are touted as keeping employees who have babies much happier and emotionally/mentally healthier.

From the perspective of a mom, it sounds great, but as an employee in the cubicle next door, I'm wondering if a baby would be disruptive and have a negative mental health effect.
