All the little babies. Just seeing them gives me the fever, I don't even need to hold them. It's a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2540074 Tue, 03 May 2016 16:02:23 +0000 youboots 2540074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But just one friends. I'm not usually a big baby holder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2540066 Tue, 03 May 2016 15:58:00 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2540066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are very few things that don't give me the fever.<br /> I hope at some point I feel done.

I love me some little bitty babies! Makes me want another. Then I hang out with or hear about someone else's toddler and I am perfectly happy with our one and only! If I could just have a little bitty baby for a month or two, I totally would do that over and over again. But kids grow up and I don't think I want to parent a bunch of kids at the same time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2540022 Tue, 03 May 2016 15:26:42 +0000 autumnlove 2540022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2540016 Tue, 03 May 2016 15:21:22 +0000 chopsuey 2540016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2540015 Tue, 03 May 2016 15:20:53 +0000 sleepybear 2540015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: I'm the same way - I just feel like I'm going to drop them or something. I like holding smiley, older babies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2540009 Tue, 03 May 2016 15:17:23 +0000 rachiecakes 2540009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I get nervous, too @twodoghouse !<br /> I was nervous before J and nervous after. I was only comfortable holding him.<br /> But I also love seeing J have a great time playing with other kids. That's what gives me the fever, just a smidge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2539936 Tue, 03 May 2016 14:13:04 +0000 brownepiano 2539936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. And I'm about to have a newborn. I don't mind holding babies but I don't really get super excited about it either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2539914 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:50:31 +0000 Ash 2539914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2539912 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:47:21 +0000 lilyann 2539912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to hold ALL the babies :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2539907 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:44:27 +0000 twodoghouse 2539907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, it sort of gives me anxiety. I like playing with older babies (6 months+), but I can't even remember how to hold a tiny baby and I just end up awkwardly holding it like I've never seen a baby before. (And I have two children who are only two, but I must have blocked the first several months of their lives out or something) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2539791 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:45:01 +0000 catomd00 2539791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2539756 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:34:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2539756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure!

I am feeling very much done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-holding-someone-elses-baby-give-you-baby-fever#post-2539746 Tue, 03 May 2016 12:29:49 +0000 DillonLion 2539746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there is a baby around, I am always excited to hold/play with a baby or small child. I like to help LO hold the baby as well, as she loves babies. I'm the same way with pets, haha. Just give me something small and alive to play with at parties. </p> <p>But, holding a baby does nothing to my reproductive system, ha! It kind of has the opposite effect actually. I am happy with my only child and I still don't have any desire for another one (she's 3.5 now). I love holding babies that belong to my friends and family but I am totally happy handing them back when it is time. But, man, I do love holding babies! They are so cute and squishy! Nom nom nom. </p>
