Ugh!</p> <p>I really don't want others kissing him but what would you say? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545321 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:50:09 +0000 HLK208 545321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind at all! Mostly only family and friends kiss them...it would be weird if a stranger did though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545315 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:47:50 +0000 Boogs 545315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It only bothers me when strangers have done it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545313 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:46:58 +0000 softcream 545313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my two nephews live in the same house as their grandparents (my parents) as well as their parents (my brother and sil). everyone in that house kisses both boys, on the lips too. i feel yucky about kissing them on the lips now that they're no longer infants, so it's just cheek kisses for me.</p> <p>i guess since they already set the precedent, my LO will most likely be getting kisses from the family too. i really hope just cheek kisses though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545109 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:39:58 +0000 HabesBabe 545109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't bother me at all, unless it's the creepy uncle who tries to kiss ME... LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545052 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:08:48 +0000 cascademom 545052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Ick, my MIL recounted how she did that with my DH and BIL. Seriously, having a grandchild brought out all of the old creepy stories of what she did with DH and BIL as babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545035 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:02:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 545035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't bother me, though I haven't had anyone that's not family try to kiss her yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545028 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:01:36 +0000 pl0508 545028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: hahaha! You are NOT alone!! Mine tried to bite LOs nails off when he was 2 days old. I lost it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545019 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:59:43 +0000 cascademom 545019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Good to know that I'm not the only uncomfortable with their MIL's behavior. Even when they Skype, she baby talks to him. We've been working on language from day 1. I felt like the times she visited, it could have caused a regression because that's the only way she communicated to him. It was really unsettling. She's got a certain set of needs relating to her grandchild that are on another planet as far as I'm concerned. The kissing goes along with it. My LO doesn't roll for her during Skype calls either. I tend to think that he has a bullshit meter and sees hers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-545018 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:59:23 +0000 Freckles 545018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Close friends and family are fine. In the beginning (&lt;1 month) i didn't like anyone but DH and i to kiss her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544993 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:50:23 +0000 pl0508 544993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: my MIL is the trigger for me on this too. I had to ask her to get out of his face after he was born :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544969 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:41:39 +0000 Mrsbells 544969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if its certain close friends or family I dont mind </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544961 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:38:22 +0000 yellowbird 544961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! It really bothers me!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544922 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:26:18 +0000 cascademom 544922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't mind others kissing my LO. Our daycare ladies do it all of the time. The only one person I have the biggest problem with doing that is my MIL. She's got some major boundary issues with our marriage and family. The way she behaves around my son is unsettling to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544877 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:10:01 +0000 JerricaBenton 544877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's funny because I don't think I would have thought of this before I was pregnant, but at my shower a girl brought her 3 month old and everyone was kissing him and touching his hands and then he'd put his hands in his mouth and I was cringing so hard! The mom didn't seem to care but I feel like I definitely will when it's my turn! It's just so hard to tell someone who is just loving on your baby to stop :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544861 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:06:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 544861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Family and very very close friends, no. I love seeing them love on my baby. Strangers/acquaintances/not close friends yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544856 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:04:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 544856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't here yet so can't comment really, but I hope I've never upset anyone! I try to be careful about it and only kiss my nephews-- usually on the top of the head, too, not on the face. Anyone I'm not close to I wouldn't.</p> <p>And well... if my nephew doesn't want to be kissed, he just shouldn't be so darn cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544848 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:01:42 +0000 pui 544848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Family I wouldn't mind, even close (CLOSE) friends, but random people at church or something? Kinda grosses me out. Good way to spread germs around for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-544827 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:56:18 +0000 Meridian 544827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oohh... I never thought about this! I sometimes kiss my friends' babies... is that bad? :( Their cheeks are just so cute and kissable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-543717 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:17:15 +0000 plaidpants 543717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, no one does this to my LO and I'm so glad! I would freak out. My SIL let my LO drink out of her cup a couple weeks ago and I had to sit on my hands to not grab the cup out if her hands. I'm a little crazy about germs, but I'm trying really hard to relax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-543705 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:15:12 +0000 mrsjazz 543705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought it would bother me pre-LO, but it does. That's MY baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-543685 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:11:28 +0000 MsLipGloss 543685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! Everybody other than DH or myself needs to keep their lips to themselves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-543681 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:10:56 +0000 autumnlove 543681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't bother me...only MIL and my mom do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-543680 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:10:25 +0000 MaisyMay 543680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on who it is. I have a couple friends who I don't mind kissing her. Other people... :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kissing-baby#post-543678 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 10:09:51 +0000 pl0508 543678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you hate when people other than you or DH Kiss your baby ?? I don't like it at all ! </p>
