A nine-week-old boy has been snatched from his home in Telford, West Mercia Police said.
Officers were called to the address in Arleston at shortly before 3pm on Wednesday after a report the boy had been taken.
Police said it is believed the child - who has not yet been named - might be in the company of a white woman in her 30s and with dyed reddish brown hair.
An urgent appeal has been launched after the baby was taken from a house in Manor Road.
The baby was wearing a blue woollen jacket and a cream baby-gro with a teddy bear on the left hand side.
A police spokesman said: "It is thought the child may be in the company of a white woman with dyed reddish brown hair, which she wore off her face, and is around 5ft 5ins tall.
"She is also thought to have a lump under her nose and a gap between her front teeth. She is believed to be between 30 and 40 years of age.
"She was last seen wearing an army green zip-up jacket and a small black bag over her shoulder."
