Will the babies be taken away?

I made an alien couple in my world try for a baby because I wanted more aliens in my game. They had triplets!!! They are not my active household (thank God, I couldn’t cope with triplets!), so I won’t be playing them as I don’t play rotationally. But, I do want to keep the household marked as “played” so that MCCC doesn’t have them make more babies, or allow other sims to move into their house. But, I’m a bit worried that if I have the household marked as “played”, then their parents won’t automatically look after the babies and they will be fair game for social services to come and swipe. Will this happen?

No, MCCC doesn't make babies be taken away for neglect when they're not in the active household. I don't understand why it would, rotational play would be impossible if the kids were going to end up being taken away for neglect while playing other households.
There is an MCCC setting to have neglected children be adopted by another household when they're taken away, but that's just to replace them vanishing altogether. (Although they actually DON'T vanish altogether if you don't do that, they end up in their own unplayed not-in-world household. The babies do, anyway, I haven't tried it with toddlers or children. I tried it once with a baby when somebody here was asking what happened to them. They don't show up in the game again automatically, but you can find them in manage households and transfer them back.)
Thanks everyone, that’s what I thought but it’s great to have confirmation. I’ve only just started playing with MCCC and usually never have more than one played household, so I haven’t had babies in a house that is marked as “played” but which isn’t my active family before.

Good to know, I was busy making one of my male sims work on the aspiration to become a player. I succeeded but had my child taken away for neglect 😢 so I just turned off my game without saving
Relationships do cull when you are rotating, which is why I now use MCCC just to use the setting to stop relationship decay.
Thanks
