From the Federal child porn law itself:

So no, the typical picture of a nude infant doing typically cute infant acts does not cross the line into child pornography in the United States.

For that matter, neither does an otherwise typical family photo taken at a nudist colony.

Indeed.  The biggest problem with these laws is when the 14 year old dumbass takes a picture of her own boobs and then gets busted for having child porn on her computer.  It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen.  I'd rather not Google for a link (for obvious reasons), but feel free if you're curious.

That's because at that point, one can argue over whether the photo is "lascivious".  In many contexts, a close-cropped photo of a female showing only her breasts would meet that definition for most people.
