A friend of ours asked me to hold her baby for a while so she could get a break, and so I found myself holding a baby for the first time in a few years. What surprised me the most was how so much of my baby holding was on autopilot… I kept burping the baby even though she hadn't eaten recently! And I found myself wanting to kiss her head, just like I did when I had my own two babies. Of course I didn't though!

What kind of things do you do on autopilot when you're holding a baby?
