Hedgies tend to get very aggressive during their quilling period. Quills also seem to drop by the masses. Therefore, stop worrying.

Hedgies will normally return to their normal non-aggressive behaviour once the period is over. Once, I found more than twenty fallen quills at once.
Continue handling your hedgie as usual even though they're a bit more aggressive nowadays.
Yay! Glad to hear that the mum & baby's alright!
Only one baby though?
I would suggest waiting till 2 weeks old before you handle the baby.
However, if the mother is not too protective and aggressive when you put your hand near her, you can handle the baby at 1 week old.
NO LESS THAN 1 WEEK or chances of the baby getting eaten is very high.
Also, rub your hands in the bedding before you pick up the baby.
I used wood shavings back when Chubster had her babies so I used to pick up a handful of wood shavings and cover my scent with the smell of wood.

This is one of the precautions to take when handling the baby.
Yeah. I was surprised that its only one baby too.
I better not handle the baby yet. Because we use vegetal litter so there is no wood chips to hold.
I think i'll just monitor the baby and touch it when its 2 and a half weeks xD.
How old before u can separate the baby from its mom?
Yesterday the mom and the baby was so far apart. I bring the mom near the baby only she milk it -.- or else she wont!
