Maybe, if he married in 1742 and died in 1745, he needed a nurse? :P
LOL. Maybe!
he is even said to have carried the child in his arms during the baptism.
The operative word here being "is said", Wikipedia. I remember one book pointing out that this doesn't work, date wise, since in 1744, he was surely busy fighting Silesia 2 and not in Berlin to carry the baby?
(Reminder: royals were usually absent godfathers and godmothers even when there wasn't war, with someone acting in their stead at the actual ceremony. Usually from the family, which is why Wilhelmine carried baby AW at his baptism and Fritz carried baby Heinrich despite neither of them being the official godparents of their siblings.)
