My husband, on the other hand, loves to let her ride on his shoulders, blow raspberries on her belly, and anything else that will elicit a giggle. He usually gets the melting glances from the other moms and old ladies. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12714 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 15:34:51 +0000 mediagirl 12714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my husband will be more affectionate than I am just because that's how he is. I thought of this post today in Kohl's when I saw a woman walking around kissing her baby on his head (in a sling). I just thought it was the sweetest thing and almost started crying right there.</p> <p>I really need some help with these crazy hormones, apparently... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12645 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 14:51:27 +0000 BabyLove 12645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I show a lot of affection to my daugther, at home and in public. When in public, we tend to do it more so when she's upset. But I like to carrier her in the baby bjorn so we can kinda cuddle while I'm still getting things done. I have never thought about showing less affection due to others reactions. I think it's cute to see other parents show their babies love too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12504 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:11:42 +0000 anbanan15 12504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the same thing! Whenever we are out and someone else talks to my baby I kiss his head and drawl him in closer (I don't want anyone else touching him). He gives me kisses back, aka tries to eat my face, when we are out, so obviously he doesn't have a PDA problem either :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12498 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 13:05:47 +0000 heffalump 12498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed that at a lunch date with my friend and her baby. I was kissing and snuggling my baby the whole time and she just wasn't. I'm constantly kissing her kepala though, I thought it was just me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12418 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 12:04:15 +0000 chopsuey 12418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Husband and I are super affectionate with our baby all the time.<br /> He usually carries her in the ergo when we're out.. gives her kisses, hugs, dances with her.. he gets lots of looks and smiles from women.<br /> I loooove kissing my baby (on the lips) and her chubby wubby cheeks. We do lots of family hugs when we're out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12408 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:57:31 +0000 Maysprout 12408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a sweet story NYcalimama. My husband gets more of the old lady love than I do for PDA with baby, they come up and compliment him. </p> <p>Mr Bee - Our daughter is only 5-1/2 months so I wonder if he'll get more self-conscious about it as she gets older but so far he gets a lot more smiles/compliments than I do when he's cuddling the baby in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12382 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:41:12 +0000 tequiero21 12382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't have my babies yet, but i will definitely not hold back on the pda. hehe. i know my husband isn't big on pda, so he won't be so pda with our kids. maybe in private.</p> <p>@nycalimama - awww @ the old lady. not sure why that made me teary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12374 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:36:50 +0000 themcmom 12374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mr. Bee - I didn't take it that way. I was trying to be funny, but it's hard to show funny on the internet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12367 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:33:32 +0000 mrbee 12367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@themcmom - Was just sharing that I get some weird looks sometimes. Didn't mean to suggest it's not appropriate for you or your husband! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12357 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:27:28 +0000 themcmom 12357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have the next great web video since my husband does it too? Sweet! Thanks Mr. Bee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12356 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:26:33 +0000 SAHM0811 12356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>funny this topic came up... yesterday i was with my two girls walking home from the park. the baby was in her infant carseat/stroller and my toddler was standing on the buggy board attached to the stroller, almost falling asleep... </p> <p>she was so tired, she was literally falling asleep standing up. so at a stoplight i tried to keep her awake by hugging and kissing her and whispering in her ear, telling her we were almost home. i was sorta all over her... i love cuddling when she's sorta sleepy :) well, the light turns for us to cross the street and for a second i saw that this old lady was totally watching us, smiling and looking sentimental about our moment. i was a little embarrassed because i didn't think anyone was watching us like that, but not really embarrassed either because it was just a natural thing for me to do with my DD, in public or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12351 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:23:27 +0000 mrbee 12351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's easier if you're a mom to PDA with your kid. If a man did half that stuff, people would break out their cell phones and call CPS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12345 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:18:50 +0000 themcmom 12345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night, we went to grocery store where my husband walked away to get something. A good song was playing overhead, so I was dancing and singing to Wombat. As far as kissing and loving on her, I'm all over her with kisses. I'll be talking to someone and stop to kiss her head or tell her that I love her. People may think I'm crazy, but I don't care. I want my kid to have fun and know I love her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12342 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:16:51 +0000 cyndistar3 12342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm.... I never really thought of it that way. No, I didn't show my baby any less affection when we were in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12335 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:15:30 +0000 Mrsbells 12335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends where you are and what you are doing, I used to go to supermarket with my 5month old nephew and I didnt want to touch him too much after touching all the dusty stuff from the shelves, I just wanted to get what i needed and get out, and allow the him some freedom to look at whatever interested him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pda-with-baby#post-12321 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 11:07:34 +0000 Maysprout 12321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been out and about a couple times this week when other kids have been around and I noticed a lot of times there's not a whole lot of kissing and snuggles with parents and babies, just more matter of fact interaction like 'OK time to crawl'. I kiss and cuddle and giggle with baby a lot whether people are around or not, though once in awhile there's a little tinge of self-consciousness of 'do others think this is weird', it's not constant baby talk or anything but I will kiss her head while someone else is talking or if we're just walking around a store we interact a lot. I don't have the same level of PDA reservation with my husband that others do so I was then thinking maybe some people have reservations about any public display of affection whether it's baby or husband or kid or whoever. </p> <p>Are you reserved in public with baby? </p>
