I love my son's age now (almost 2). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person/page/2#post-2230886 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 00:40:40 +0000 Coffee-lover 2230886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is almost 2 months old now, and I have loved every second of it. If she were to stay this age forever, it would be fine with me. That being said, I do not like other peoples babies or kids. I guess I love my own baby, and thats it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person/page/2#post-2230843 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:22:07 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2230843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandma is a total baby person, and one of my friends is as well. Everyone else - including me - prefers 6 months and up. I do love the milk drunk faces and passed out snuggles, I like to hold other babies for a while, and I can IMAGINE being a baby person to one of my own. But I'm 2 for 2 on reflux-y, MSPI babies, so I am happy to hustle out of the baby stage for my own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230511 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 15:33:47 +0000 gingerbebe 2230511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a baby person, but I got a son who was not into being a baby, if that makes sense? I got a colicky reflux terrorist baby that gave me PTSD, PDD, and PAA from the non. stop. screaming and he's NEVER liked snuggling, being held, being swaddled, cosleeping, nursing, or anything baby related. He basically quit bottles at 9 months. He's intense. At each point he's been able to move more freely and independently he's become a happier human being - I think he was just frustrated at not being able to do what he wanted to do. I hope our next baby is sweeter and more laid back because I DO like snuggles and what not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230411 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:33:48 +0000 MsMini 2230411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total baby person here! Good thing I work in NICU so I get my baby fix in between my own babies :wink: When I have my own babies, I am not interested in any others though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230376 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:09:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2230376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love babies!

I'm not with them constantly so their coos and cries are like a foreign language to me. I know when mine need a snuggle or milk or sleep, etc.! </p> <p>I do love looking at other babies and holding them! But otherwise, I like older kids better. I think 5 is my favorite age. I can understand them, and play, make them laugh, and they aren't super emotional like toddlers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230369 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:04:57 +0000 chopsuey 2230369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love babies, but toddlers are a lot more fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230367 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:03:33 +0000 rachiecakes 2230367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my baby and would love to have another but have no interest in holding or entertaining, cleaning up, feeding, someone else's baby. I mean, I'll gladly do it with love for a friend, but it's not something I would just do because I love to do it. </p> <p>I love toddlers, preschoolers and kids though. I love to draw with them, talk to them, play sports with them, etc. I love that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230365 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 14:02:03 +0000 mrscobee 2230365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a baby person here.

If we do have a 3rd I will get a tubal done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230348 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 13:49:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2230348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: I went through the same thing, but DH got the snip to make sure that I couldn't talk him into a 3rd when I got baby fever again LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230104 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 11:02:04 +0000 sarac 2230104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do love babies, how could you not? My husband also surprised me by being a huge baby person, even when he'd flat out said that what he was excited for was a kid he could go on adventures with. But he was just a total natural with our daughter from the moment she was born. We're both stoked to have another baby soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230090 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 10:51:45 +0000 Dandelion 2230090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not. When I hear of "baby person" I imagine these ladies who insist on hogging babies. I've known a few in churches growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230088 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 10:51:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2230088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh. I liked my baby as a baby, and I get excited when family and friends have their babies and I like to spend time with the babies of those who are close to me. But I wouldn't say I'm a "baby person". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230078 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 10:48:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 2230078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: This is why I'm more open to a third! I have a almost 4 month old but the thought of her being my last baby is too much for me to handle! I definitely am spoiling her more than I did DD1 because I know she might be my last baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2230029 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 10:22:24 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2230029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I love the baby phase!! That's why I'm having such a hard time knowing we're not having any more kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229975 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:59:23 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2229975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess in this context, I would say I am a total baby person! I have no problem holding babies, I love cooing and playing with babies, and just cuddling with them. BUT, for myself... after I became a mom... I could not wait to get out of the baby stage! So, I do love babies... but they are hard work, and I prefer the toddler and beyond stages so much more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229971 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:52:55 +0000 youboots 2229971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a baby person for T, I have enjoyed it way more than I thought since I was not/am not much of a baby person with other people's kids. Even at my baby shower it did not occur to me to hold my friends 3 week old that she brought or another friends six month old. There is one baby I was smitten with (@littlejoy has an ah-mazing little human) as well as my nephews.</p> <p>I love the baby phase of my own DD, she's 4 mo and sleeping on me now. The stretches, gummy smiles and cooing are the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229968 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:50:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 2229968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dunno. I definitely enjoy interacting with my son more now that he's almost 3, but I definitely look back on the newborn/baby days with fuzzy nostalgia...but I think I've just mentally rewritten how hard it was :) I feel like I'm struggling a lot now, though, with the newly found independence and defiance and attitude. I'm exhausted!</p> <p>D is definitely not a baby person. He loved E, of course, but he definitely got more involved the older and more interactive he got. He says he's looking forward to like age 5 (he used to work in a daycare and said that class was his favorite age group...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229962 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:47:36 +0000 looch 2229962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a few baby people...my mother, my MIL and my husband's two sisters.</p> <p>Most people, not fans of the baby stage, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229960 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:47:12 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2229960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: exactly this. I love everyone's babies and young toddlers but often find older kids to be annoying. And while the infant stage was really hard, I loved it and am looking forward to the next one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229955 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:43:46 +0000 FaithFertility 2229955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: YES!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229953 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:43:06 +0000 FaithFertility 2229953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES, I've realized I am a total baby person!!!!<br /> I loved the NB stage and loving every stage so G's up to 6 months where we are now!!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229942 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:40:41 +0000 meredithNYC 2229942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: haha - I'm a SAHM and I wish I had a job to go back to!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229876 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 09:04:19 +0000 Corduroy 2229876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out fast with LO1 that I am not a baby person. I was dreading the newborn stage with LO2 but I've found that I like it more the 2nd time around. Granted we're only 3 weeks in. He is much calmer and no signs of colic yet. I'm also in a better place knowing that this stage is short and he'll grow so fast. I've found that I talk to him so much more than I talked to LO1 since I'm thinking of him more as my kid-to-be than as a newborn blob. Maybe I'll be a baby person after all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229830 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:38:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2229830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a total baby person, I can sit for hours and have a baby sleeping on my chest. Their sweet little mouths and the first time they smile or find their feet, it's the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229822 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:33:06 +0000 SeptMomma12 2229822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: Could not agree more! I hate wishing away my daughter's babyhood (she'll be 2 months next week), but I am SO not a newborn person. I just love how my almost 3 year old can talk to me, tell me what's wrong, etc. I told someone yesterday that I can't wait to go back to work and they looked at me like I had seven heads. Oops :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-baby-person#post-2229815 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 08:23:38 +0000 autumnlove 2229815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the baby phase! </p>
