    1. Title: Baby born in the field
      Author: Reuben Rosenberg

      Rabbi Herman, regarding the baby that was born in the field, the rabbis discuss whether you should carry it bit by bit, each time less than four amos, or pass the baby down the line. Why wouldn't this fall under pikuach nefesh? A newborn absolutely cannot survive on its own. Wouldn't the simple answer be to just pick up the child to carry it to a safe place?
      1. Title: Excellent point
        Zvi Herman Reuben Rosenberg, 

        Hi Rabbeinu, thank you so much for mentioning - I should've been clearer in the shiur.

        Yes, certainly, if there's any concern whatsoever for pikuach nefesh, then we can do anything we need to get the baby into town. Even for a safek pikuach nefesh. The case in the gemara must be a scenario which does not involve pikuach nefesh, however you might concoct that scenario - maybe the mother is there with the baby, and there's adequate shelter, etc.
