Does it ever bother you when someone holds your baby and tries to tickle them? Or starts pinching or kissing them? It drives me bonkers! Yes, Em is cuddly chubbly but that's no excuse for you to go molestin her cute little baby fat or tickling her tiny feet!
Does this bother anyone else? I sometimes think she needs a bodysuit that says "Please don't tickle me!"

Yes! One person in particular would always do this and it would drive me nuts! But now that's she's a little older and can totally wiggle her way out or outright defend herself, it's no longer an issue (and the perpetrator hasn't tried lately either).

tickling doesn't really bother me, mostly bc my lo will just give them a wtf look, but i was shocked to see how many people, not even immediate family, have no problem kissing someone else's baby on the mouth.

@.twist.: right?! some people (at least in my life) have no sense of boundaries!

I don't think I've ever been bothered by someone tickling my son, he loves it! I would find it a bit odd if a random person kissed him on the lips though.

@jmarionsmith: On the mouth? I wouldn't even kiss my nephew on the mouth. The only babies I will kiss at all (on the top of the head or MAYBE the cheek) are my nephews. Otherwise, as much as I might want to give them a kiss, I hold back because it's not my baby.

No one has tried yet with LO, but before I had a child I watched my friend tickle these kids sooo much, they were trying to get away from her and she kept at it. I asked her to stop (they didn't look like they were having fun anymore) and told her about how people used to tickle me all the time when I was younger and after a while it hurt because I was super sensitive.
I have told my mom to stop kissing her on the mouth because she does it so much--more than I do. I said she can kiss her, but kiss her cheeks and not her mouth all the time.

Omg yes! A few weeks ago we went out to dinner and DS was dozing off in his carseat. Our waitress was a girl I went to high school with and she went over and tickled him hard. Not gentle at all. Ugh. So then we had to deal with a cranky baby at dinner because he wasnt sleeping after that!

I always tickle babies feet. Super gentle like, but yea... never thought it was a bad thing! OOPS.

The pinching is what bugs me. And anyone kissing her face aside from us.

I even have issues with blowing raspberries. One person is really bad at it. We try to avoid to help with the no biting but it's all she wants to do.

I think unless it's close family or a really close friend, that's weird and yes it would bother me!

I don't have a problem with any of this except maybe the kissing! The only time I really batted an eye was when a random stranger wouldn't stop kissing my son all over his face. Even then, I didn't say anything to her, just washed his face afterwards and gossiped about it with my husband (who was also there).
