Aphids or something close??
 
A short-term fix would be a veerrrrryyy weak solution of 1 part soap, 1 part cayenne to 15-20 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray one leaf first to make sure it doesn't fry your baby and don't apply during full sun.
As far as long term, I recall reading about a chemical attractant one could buy that is supposed to bring in predators and drive away pests...MGT or something like that (an application of MGD is not recommended)...does anyone have any experience with such products?
I had a short lived issue with aphids last year, but have already seen several lacewings & no aphids. I am trying companion planting this year, and perhaps experiencing some early success. Randar (from this site) has some great postings on herbs & such that make life easier.
