Kissing random babies

i can never undertsand that ppl kissing our babies : like ew idk where ur lips been

No one’s entitled to anyone’s body. Especially babies and children when they can’t say much to get people to buzz off. You are her advocate rn, her voice. I have been here and I’m still here to a lesser degree and I often find myself fuming because people shouldn’t be like this. Your reaction is valid.

A woman tried to touch my baby’s cheek at the bus stop once. Thought about trying it back to see how she liked it.

If you think I’m overreacting please comment .

I’ve seen that some kids get bad infections and even lost an eye because someone kissed their kid

That’s just weird. Kissing babies that aren’t yours is just weird

That’s just wild. Like even my sisters don’t kiss my daughter without asking 🤔

What board?

Random people I’m scared!!!! Even family shouldnt kiss with out permission but random??

My cousins newborn died because of someone kissing it. Definitely no overreaction.

I had family members kiss my baby and I told them before I even gave birth not to i barely even kiss my own baby why would I allow other ppl to do and nobody at all should be kissing ur baby unless it’s u or the father

This happened to me once. Some lady at our local store kissed my daughter. It caught me so off guard but I also ensured it never happened again. She is not allowed to touch my child. I don’t let people hold my daughter if they seem very handsy.

I get you on this. Lack of respect for my and my baby's space was in the form of taking photos of my baby. Someone in pqrticular would try call his attention to actually be facing thr camera (aged suuper young and me not wanting him to get into the habit of feeling he needed to answer to anyone or have to face a camera everytime someone took one out to take a photo of my child.) I said to him several times why I did not feel comfortable with that and he proceeded to take photos when I was out of the room on several occassions (his camera was on his phone in his hand and was trying to hide it).

The marked disrespect repeating like this made me feel more unsafe and less strong in our safe border to the outside world. I felt so violated, especially since I had shared my babys presence with him, our very delicate personal intimate space during this time and given the effort to share how I felt, and tsking the risk of backlash, and he just kept disregsrding, making me feel like I had to hold the fort even tighter, Not making it easier to be a mama. I hate that people don't realise that babies are Extensions of Their Mama. Protection is Always in the form of welfare of the baby, whether thats the mamas outlook to what a genuine and gentle environment should look like for all vulnerable beings, or if the health and safety of the baby physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. Mama has more cards in this one so why people keep pushing against the delicateness preservation of this safe space that we want to grow for all's sake!!

100% valid.
If the baby isn’t close family I don’t even ask to hold em.
Kissing a kid that’s not yours or isn’t close family is weird to me. And I have no clue why ppl would want to do it.
