I'm sure at least 1 other mom is on my side... WHAT IS IT WITH STRANGERS TOUCHING MY BABY?? Especially in her sweet little face! I don't know where your hands have been!!! I mean, as far as I know, she is MINE not society's property, they could at least ask me! What do you think??

i totally agree with you. i had som lady come up and gently pinch my daughters cheeks without asking while at the grocery store. needless to say my daughter didn't like it very well and started crying loudly. she let the lady know she didn't like that!

I so know what you are saying!! It's disgusting!! These little old ladies (usually other moms usually know better!!) come up and "oh how cute" and feel the need to touch all over!! You just want to shout "get your paws off of my child!!"

Yeah, they should keep their hands to themselves!

One thing that really used to bug me when I was pregnant was when people (inc. strangers) used to touch my bump! Urghhh....horrible. It used to give me the creeps!

Tell people that your baby is infectious with chicken pox or something and they'll keep their hands to themselves!

I so know what you are all saying, and yep it is normally little old ladies, I also wash my little ones hands, I just hope when I get old I remember how annoying it was to me and not touch others belly bump or little babies

you couldn't be more right!
at the doctors office today, my little girl who is 5 was talking to another little girl that was there with her mom and new baby brother. the little girl said to my daughter, "you can pet him if you want." everyone laughed, and thankfully, my daughter asked me if she could touch the baby, (who BTW wasn't more than a month old!) i told her NO, just because i know how rude it is, and i didn't like people i didn't know touching my daughter as a baby, and even now at 5 years old! so you are RIGHT! people should be courteous. it's one thing to look, but, DO NOT TOUCH!

People want to touch our Little Ones because everyone wants to be close to things that are pure and beautiful. I used to be right on guard whenever anyone was admiring my Little One. I would stop them in mid reach and say gently, "I prefer if you did not, she has had sensitive health concerns". I've always have gotten an apology then.

Now that my Little One is older, even I have to watch myself sometimes, lol. Ofcourse I absolutely do not touch other people's children, but I have said, "Oh they are so beautiful, you just want to hold them, but ofcourse I will not".

However my 3 yr old, she is a quick one. I am constantly telling her not to touch other children or babies. She goes right up and gives hugs all the time if I don't catch her quick enough. She is learning though.

But then again, she wants to touch everything....especially in stores, lol.

*LOL* I took my toddler (19months) to the doctor the other week. There was a little girl there who was about 2.5 years old and she was a fiery little thing - Latin temprement I think they call it! She rushed up to him and started to hug and kiss him! My son is very quiet and gentle and he got such a shock, but he was okay.

Then he went over to his pushchair and got his juice beaker out and started to have a drink. The little girl rushed over to him, grabbed the beaker, shouted something in his face and slapped him!!! My son got such a shock! He began to cry and the little girls mum began to try to get her away from him. It was such a scenario.

Well, the little girl kept on doing this and rushing around kissing him one minute and shouting at him the next! Boy, I couldn't keep up! I was glad when we had to go into the doctors room!

I pity her future boyfriends *LOL*

Kids should definitely be made to wash their hands first. As for adults baby should be off limits to them if they are ill but for everyone else,offer a bottle of hand sanitizer to them first before they can hold the baby.

People love kids and are not trying to do harm.I do not think they realize the grems they can pass on. The moment they look at you child they want to hold it and love on it. Just say that she gets ill easy so please do not touch her.
I do know what you mean but know that it comes from loving kids.Today we are so much more aware of germs and the illneses that come with it but still most folks do not know that they could hurt a child from just a touch.

Fiona-

LOL...I felt the same way about the belly touching. Infact this time around I purchased myself a t-shirt transfer off of ebay that reads, " Can I touch your belly first."

Anyways on the subject of stranger touching your baby. I absolutely hate this, my husband on the other hand never had an issue with it. But at the same time he likes to tell me that I have OCD, which might be true but still. People carry all kinds of germs. I don't want someone holding or touching my baby who is coughing or who has a cold or who even has a child who sick. Personally unless I know that 2 seconds before your hands touch my baby you washed your hands I just don't want you to do it.
