Hi,
I am not sure exactly from whom you mean to ask the bonobos are protecting their babies, but here goes.
Bonobos protect their infants from predators and other groups of bonobos through living in groups. Because any of the males in group could be the father of the baby, all of the males will help defend an infant should it be threatened by another bonobo or some predator. Additionally, in bonobos, some of the females may help protect each others' babies in a reciprocal way---I help you, you help me.
Within groups, bonobo females prevent bonobo males from harming their infants by mating with every male in the group, so that any of the males could be the father of the infant (and so they wouldn't want to kill their own baby!). The females may also sometimes work together to prevent males from doing anything bad. Other females seem to leave each others' babies alone since they want to stay in good graces with each other should they need help later on. Plus it would be very hard for one female to take another's infant since she'd fight back!
Of course bonobo females also protect their infants from disease by breastfeeding them and grooming them and help protect them from falling by sleeping in the same nest with them and being very careful up in the trees. But even as little babies, bonobo infants are good at holding on to their moms.
I hope this answers your question!
