Not babies. They are called plantlets.

Maybe the reason you never had luck propagating them is because you are
babying them.

Wait until the plantlets have produced aerial roots then you can put them in
water or moist soil. If you put them directly in soil, treat them like
seedlings so that the roots can become established.

Mine is loaded with babies, hangs in the sun with little water.

But I've never had luck with the babies. Do you stick them in dirt or
water?

The adventitious plantlets are produced on the flower stems. It the
plant
isn't getting enough light to bloom, then you won't get plantlets. Do
you
fertilize it? How often do you water?

I have been growing my spider plant for the past year and it has done
great... My only problem is is that it will not seem to produce babies.
does anyone have any suggestions/ideas that might help?
