I always wore her at the grocery store, from then on.</p> <p>Typically I don't mind when people touch DS, as long as they stay away from his hands and his face. But feet, arms, back of head, I'm ok with all of those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220434 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 12:05:52 +0000 mrstilly 220434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE babies, and I always smile and try to get a look, but I rarely say anything and I would NEVER touch a strangers baby. I really don't understand why other people think this is okay to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220397 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:53:17 +0000 mediagirl 220397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh boy. I am so worried about these moments! Also why I think I might just keep M home now until she gets her 2 month shots. I'm so paranoid about her catching something from someone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220386 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:49:44 +0000 jennylynn 220386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I don't like it either. I had a lady at the grocery store HOLD ONTO my cart to keep me from moving when I was very obviously trying to get away from her, so that her daughter could come and see my baby. Without even acknowledging me at all. Like she didn't even say anything to me. Ask permission. Comment. Nothing. She almost lost her face. It is weird, not to metion rude and super annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220358 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:35:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 220358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: lol grosss!!!<br /> Well that is true, and I DO get lots of compliments on how he is such a good baby, so happy and content - but most of those people don't touch him - for which I am grateful!</p> <p>@Mrsdaredevil: sooo weird. It reminds me of @Mrs. Jacks husband's post about the woman at the zoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220352 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:33:10 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 220352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at the zoo yesterday and had my LO in the stroller with both shades pulled over her so no one could see her (to block the sun and also so she could sleep). At least 3 people came up to me when I was standing at the animal exhibits and pulled the shade back so they could see her. Complete strangers, without saying anything!!!! What the heck?? People are SO strange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220349 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:32:54 +0000 mamimami 220349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh, I don't mind. One of the first times I took him out this lady touched him COMING OUT OF THE RESTROOM STALL and without washing her hands. That was pretty bad, but I didn't freak. Antibodies, right? LOL. I'd rather people love my little one that be annoyed by him anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220346 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:32:12 +0000 Alivoo01 220346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a total stranger, I don't touch. I do make faces at it to say hello though. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220341 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:31:20 +0000 chopsuey 220341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. People used to try to touch LO when she was younger. Drove me crazy.. especially when they tried touching her face and her hands :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220340 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:30:29 +0000 heffalump 220340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I HATED when people would touch my LO when she was teeny tiny. They would always go for her face or hands too. I would just wipey her off when they left. Now that she's bigger I don't mind as much, but it's still pretty weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220337 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:28:27 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 220337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's weird, I'd feel the same way. A woman did bring in her 11 day old yesterday, and I didn't want to hold him, but I did want to touch his feet (I don't know). I didn't, though, because then I'd be THAT PERSON. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-have-to-touch-your-baby#post-220329 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 11:25:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 220329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was out shopping yesterday and at one store this lady came up and started touching my baby. It made me so uneasy, she saw that and said, "Oh, I just have to touch any baby I see. I can't help it."</p> <p>I was so upset. Thankfully, I had Cobi in a baby carrier and she couldn't really touch anything other than his feet sticking out.<br /> Ugh I just think it's so rude. I would always ask before touching a strangers baby - scratch that, I would never touch a strangers baby!! </p> <p>Do you get many people trying to touch your baby? </p>
