I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who gets weirded out by lip kissing anyone other than your SO. I have a picture of me kissing my mom on the lips when I was 2-ish, so apparently my family did that some, but not that I actually remember. And I've definitely never seen any adult family members kissing their LO's on the mouth. I guess my feelings might change once LO gets here, but as a former nanny I can say I was never once even remotely tempted to kiss one of my nanny kids on the lips, and I definitely gave them kisses on their heads/faces/toes/whatever.

She used to always try the open mouth kiss on the lips, but I've trained her to kiss my cheek instead.

I can't get enough of kissing him on the lips and everywhere else! This despite (or because of) the fact that my family wasn't affectionate or kissy at all growing up.

I did not grow up in a lip-kissing family either, so I also find it kind of odd. I'm hoping that avoiding this with DS helps me not to get sick constantly with his daycare colds! Currently trying to get over a pretty bad one..

I have only ever kissed DH on the lips so I never imagined kissing our kids on the lips but I totally do!!! Well, I kiss DS on the lips...probably because that's where he wants to give us kisses? I love it though! I kiss the baby on her head or cheek.

My family is not a lip-kissing family, and neither is DH's so it usually just seems strange to me, although I've done it a couple of times, and they definitely "kiss" (read, open mouth full of slobber) anywhere they can reach, including the lips. I think all their slobbery kisses are adorable, so that makes me more comfortable with it, but I don't think I could do that long term. Just not for us.

I kiss them on the lips all the time!! So hard to resist their cute lil' lips.

I'm used to it because I got lip kisses from my mom all my life… she still does it to this day!

I kiss my kids on the lips at least 100x a day.

I kiss DS on the lips all the time. I didn't really when she was a tiny baby, and probably won't when she's older, but she's 6 months now, and likes a big noisy MWAH kiss. She sticks her little hands on both sides of my face and it's just too cute.

Nope. I don't do it and neither does my husband. I prefer cheek and head kisses. And cuddles.

I kiss my DD on the lips. She's getting older now and knows not to slobber I think it's super sweet. It'll probably change as she gets older, but for now, I'm enjoying it!

i like to try and kiss LO on the lips, but it's usually pretty slobbery (on his end, haha). so i mostly give head and cheek kisses.

I wouldn't be able to resist with my newborn, we just want to eat each other up. My 2 year old it's more cuddles and cheek and forehead kisses now but we still give each other pecks on the lip if I'm going somewhere. And I agree with the feet comment, I don't go around kissing people's feet but baby feet are too cute not to be kissed.
