Many groceries have been rocked to sleep by DH haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-things-do-you-do-on-autopilot-when-youre-holding-a-baby#post-1576699 Fri, 18 Apr 2014 01:03:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1576699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coo, sway, pat, nuzzle, kiss their heads, squeeze their feet and let their fingers curl over mine!

I smooch heads too, and I don't care who's baby it is. If they trust me enough to ask me to hold the baby, I figure they won't mind if I kiss it:)</p> <p>There's a cell phone commercial (Verizon?) where two parents come in, baby sleeping in a Bjorn. It cracks me up, because BOTH of the parents are bouncing and swaying, despite the baby only being held by the dad. I love it because it's true- parents rock/sway ALL. THE. TIME. No matter what:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-things-do-you-do-on-autopilot-when-youre-holding-a-baby#post-1575836 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:16:34 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1575836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swaying, rocking and kissing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-things-do-you-do-on-autopilot-when-youre-holding-a-baby#post-1575835 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 16:15:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 1575835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swaying, bouncing :) oh and I can't stop sniffing them.

Usually some kisses and nuzzles if it's family. Actually, I probably do kisses no matter what, because of it being on autopilot! But I probably wouldn't if I stopped to think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-things-do-you-do-on-autopilot-when-youre-holding-a-baby#post-1575575 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:19:00 +0000 knittylady 1575575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bounce!

Even if they aren't mine! And it's amazing how you immediately start swaying back and forth when you hold a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-things-do-you-do-on-autopilot-when-youre-holding-a-baby#post-1575551 Thu, 17 Apr 2014 14:09:07 +0000 mrbee 1575551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of ours asked me to hold her baby for a while so she could get a break, and so I found myself holding a baby for the first time in a few years. What surprised me the most was how so much of my baby holding was on autopilot… I kept burping the baby even though she hadn't eaten recently! And I found myself wanting to kiss her head, just like I did when I had my own two babies. Of course I didn't though!</p> <p>What kind of things do you do on autopilot when you're holding a baby? </p>
