I'm sure people thought I was rude but Honestly, I didnt care. My baby is more important than your hurt feelings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/people-touching-my-baby#post-327935 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 18:37:43 +0000 dc yoga bee 327935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would NEVER touch someone's baby without asking them first. That's crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/people-touching-my-baby#post-327927 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 18:22:04 +0000 winniebee 327927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's usually because you're so shocked! Or, at least when people touch my son I'm shocked/not sure what to say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/people-touching-my-baby#post-327926 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 18:19:05 +0000 Sweet T 327926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I don't understand why people think they need to touch someone else's baby. I took DS to the grocery store when he was a few weeks old and wore him in the maya wrap. He started getting fussy and these two old women came out of no where and started questioning me. "Is he hungry? What's wrong with him?" They kept getting closer like they were going to try to touch him or something. Luckily, my mom was with me and we made a run for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/people-touching-my-baby#post-327919 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 18:05:23 +0000 luckypenny 327919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a man come up and smell DD while my husband was holding her. WTF who does that?! Smelt her head! Weird...I didn't say anything at the time but sometimes I will remark that I'd rather them touch her feet than her hands etc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/people-touching-my-baby#post-327910 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:56:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 327910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so perturbed. Today we were in multiple airports traveling and I had at least five random strangers come up and actually TOUCH my baby without asking, like they would try to tickle him or touch his feet or hands. The lady sitting next to us was letting him play and chew her fingers. Ugh. </p> <p>I KNOW I should have said something but I guess I'm a wimp of a parent. I always said in that situation I would say something and I didn't and I'm totally kicking myself now thinking about all the germs in airports and everything. I have been nursing him a lot extra to build up some antibodies.</p> <p>What would you have done?? </p>
