Kissing on the lips...do you?

Yes how can you not. Cutness overload lol . When he's older pecks on the cheek

Yes I do with my son and I will until I feel he is old enough to stop. I don't understand how people are calling David sick for kissing his daughter, the world has gone crazy.

I think you have to stop when they get to a certain age with kissing on the lips.

Yes!!! My cuties are adorbs and I can't help it!! 😚 Until a certain age of course....but I'm not sure what that age is yet 🤷‍♀️

Yes I do ❤️

Yes I do !

Every single day and night !!!

My nephew is 6 and I kiss him on the lips. I see nothing wrong with it

I don’t feel comfortable with it, hence why I will never do it, but that’s just me. I would never judge or shame a parent who chooses to do that.

I do not kiss my daughter on the lips. She gets tons of cheek kisses all the time from mommy and daddy. But no lip kisses. ❤️

Lip kisses are to intimate. Bc of my past u can not do it.

I use to but at a certain age I stop tho . My husband never did it tho.

So I’m kinda on the fence about this... my little one started giving hugs & kisses around 1 year old. She would kiss us on the lips. We taught her to blow kisses at friends & kiss mommy & daddy on the cheek (if she wanted. We don’t force her to kiss or hug. When she says “no” or “stop it” we stop because I think that is really important.) She will be 2 in March... sometimes she misses our cheek & kisses on the lips. She also gets sick ALL THE TIME so we wanted to stop spending germs.

Yes I kiss my daughter on the lips 🤷‍♀️

Growing up, my parents always kissed my brother and I on the mouth. But my husband’s family never did that with him. I personally prefer to kiss our son on the cheek, so that’s what we all do. However, I don’t look at parents that kiss their little ones on the mouth any differently (maybe since I was raised that way.) 🤷🏻‍♀️

I wasn't raised to kiss on the lips, but my boyfriend and his daughter were. As an adult his mom only does cheek kisses now but idk when that changed. His daughter is 6 and unless we're sick we still give lip kisses. I still don't know how I feel about it though especially since one day I know there will have to be a talk about who to kiss and who not to lol

I kiss my kids in the lips, my mother did to me and my siblings too. I do not kiss my nieces or nephews.

My daughter and step son I give cheek kisses because my daughter is slobbery, and also has the most kissable little cheeks, and step son for obvious reasons, but my bio son will give me lip kisses which I don’t turn down BUT I’m not a fan because of how he puckers his lips lol but to each their own!

Seriously? Some of these comments. Who cares. I kiss my kids on the lips all the time. No big freaking deal. If you a problem then maybe you should ask yourself why.

This!!!

100% kiss on the lips while they still let you! But no judgment either way, whatever works for you

Yes, only if my child is comfortable with it! No lip kisses for anyone other than me an hubby...again unless child is okay with it. Lip kisses will never be forced, I’ll gladly take a cheek kiss or a hug anytime.

Yes

I’ve been struggling with this as of late actually. My daughter recently turned four and as a baby I had kissed her on the nose and as she got older on the lips and cheeks. She would do the puckered lips for us to peck her, nothing drawn out. I never felt weird because I still will peck my parents with like the side of my mouth. However, as of late she started asking to “kiss me in my mouth”. So now I’m only doing cheek kisses or pecks at bedtime sometimes. I simply told her “ew that’s gross” and she seemed to drop it. So I can’t say one way or another I guess on what is the best!

If I could make out with my daughter I would. jk. I mean kind of, she’s a really good kisser. 🤷‍♀️ oooh I hope I’ve made some of you really uncomfortable with that! <<<channeling potus>>> Yes I kiss her on the lips. Yes I probably will keep kissing her on the lips as long as she thinks it’s not weird. I had a mom that was wired about affection in general so I slather it on my girl like pancakes on buttah 🥞

I kiss my baby on the lips and I was raised that way too. My husband kisses her on the lips. He still kisses his mother on the lips (a real quick goodbye peck kind) and I think I stopped kissing my dad on the lips when I was 8 or so but I still do cheek kisses. So I guess, if you're comfy with it, do it as long as everyone still is.

My husband and I kiss our boys on the lips. I kiss my niece and nephew on the lips as well. It’s whatever you and the child are comfortable with. Don’t force them or yourselves because they can feel that.

My son just learned how to give kisses lol I don’t like the way he just mashes his face on my mouth but he’s just trying to show affection in the way he knows how so i kiss on the lips. But I would only kiss my son and my SO my grandparents I’ll cheek kiss them. If your comfortable With it do it if not don’t stress it

Yeah of course!! I find it so odd that people sexualise so many things to do with children. 🙄

I kiss my kids on the lips!! I don’t see anything wrong with it! But I will stop doing it when their teenagers! Each to their own really!! 🤐

Yes. Not every time but it’s not discouraged.

I love cuffing my big lips on my baby’s lips and he loves it too🥰 #toeachtheirown

I don't but don't judge anyone who does. I wasn't raised that way so it's uncomfortable to me and I feel like I don't want to give my adult germs to my child lol She gets plenty of cheek kisses 😘

I’m 37 and my parents and close family members still give me kisses on the lips. I have two guy best friends who we peck even in front of our spouses. I can understand not kissing Newborns and Infants because there are viruses and bacteria that could be fatal, I just don’t understand why people have to sexualize EVERYTHING. Ridiculous

I kiss my kids on the lips until they get a little older. It’s just weird to me after a certain age.

I personally don't but my man kissed our baby on the lips and I don't mind I just don't want many people to do so due to germs 😂🙈

I don't! To each their own but I don't because you could be shedding the herpes virus and not even know it. Also, I don't share drinks or utensils because babies are not born with the bacteria that cause cavities. It's through sharing with adults that they get exposed to it.

I sure do!!! And will until he says "ew mom, no!"

I don’t, but it is a combination of health / germs and that I’m not okay with other adults (even aunties & uncles) kissing him on the lips (health, germs & just in general), so it makes it easier for him if we’re consistent. It isn’t sexualizing baby kisses, I think most would agree that nothing baby/kid related ever should be. However I imagine it is somewhat influenced from it being the practice when I was a kid & not liking it (by like age 5) & years of working in education, social & human services, & my husband’s work in the same fields + with sex offenders.

All the time and she loves it she come and gives each person a kiss

Anytime they want to. One day it won’t be acceptable. One day I won’t get as many. One day I’ll miss it terribly! Today I’ll take it. Even when it’s a little intense and forceful (I have a boy) or more like a chicken peck!!! Ha! I say enjoy it while it lasts!

Ahaha I get the intense ones with my son too 😂

As a health professional, I don’t recommend it. Harmful viruses and bacteria can be transmitted to the child. It is possible to transmit many infectious diseases through kissing that can range from the flu to mononucleosis. It is even possible to cause medium and long term problems in the child’s gums with a simple kiss. Don’t forget that we often lick our lips to moisturize and lubricate them, so this practice has the potential to transmit viruses and bacteria carried by adults which can turn into a catastrophe if they are passed to a baby. Avoid kissing your baby’s mouth, wash your hands properly, and do not blow on the baby’s food or lend them your toothbrush. Bacteria is transferred by all of these methods. Don’t clean pacifiers with your mouth or chew food before giving it to your child when your baby starts to eat their first foods. It is better to use a blender or juicer to prevent passing germs and viruses to the baby.

I knew I wasn't crazy. Now tell this to family members because they don't seem to understand, care or respect my wishes

I’m pregnant expecting my first and I’m already struggling with the preliminary convos. According to my mother I was fine...🙄

I do, however I did with my parents too. I stopped around 10. Whenever he’s ready for lip kisses then that’s fine. I’m going to snag that cheek though! Lol

Uh. No. Maybe as babies but there’s a point where they are too old. To be honest, even as babies, kids put all kids of stuff in their mouths. Nope. Not for me.

I rarely do not really cuz of anything specific besides the fact that he tries to bite me but I always just pretty much kiss him on his cheek on his nose or his forehead or his feet he is 8 months right now

No, I don’t, and we encourage others to not kiss our son on the lips.

I hate when my grandma tries to kiss me on the lips STILL, makes me feel bad always moving away from her face when it was what I thought was to be a hug. My husbands sister had 4 kids and they all do mouth kisses and it makes me avoid wanting to say goodbye when we leave. It's wet, its germy- not a fan from this health concerned gal

Absolutely.

I don’t. And I don’t allow anyone to. My husband still kissed his parents on the lips until I brought it up for the millionth time when we were engaged. Basically told him it had to stop or I was out. It freaked me out 🤷🏻‍♀️

My son kisses me on the cheek but I’m not opposed to the lips.

I was told it was a tradition lol. But I hate it. I despite kissing my daughter in the lips or anyone doing it. I’m sorry for David Beckham and whomever else that does it but that’s disgusting. Idk what you been doing with your lips. Children can catch disease easier than us parents. I’m sorry but not me.
