I think embarrassment adds greater depth to the whole experience of role-playing. You look at babies and they do things that adults or just older people in general wouldn't do. A lot of those things would be embarrassing for someone if they were grown-up and still did them.
I guess you have to look at it in the context of what your are doing and what you are trying to achieve. If you are acting like a baby, then these things come with the territory. It's not embarrassing per se, but since it's an older person acting this way then there is that hump to overcome. I think once you realise it's all part of acting out the fantasy, it's not so troublesome. I have been babied before and I was hugely embarrassed at first about it, but it passes in time and actually became quite a fun thing to do. I guess you could say it became "embarrassingly comfortable", as strange as that sounds.
