Hello, Is it permissible for a person to recite a blessing while sitting and holding a baby? And if it concerns Birkat Hamazon, in the section 'HaRachaman', is the answer the same?

Hello, 

It is forbidden to hold anything that distracts one's attention during the blessing, both at the beginning and at the end of the blessing.
