When I had my first daughter and was still in hospital recovering from my section, the paediatrician came round to give her the first check over. An Indian guy as I rememer.i8

Anyway, picked her up out of her plastic cot thingy, lifted her into the air and gave her kisses beautiful girl, beautiful girl he was saying

I still wonder to this day if he was for real **shudder**

OMG! Chances are he was just being nice but that is SO not professional!

exactly what i thought. That's probably why I didn't do anything about it.

i found it worse when pregnant..people touching your bump etc..
once i went out for my sisters birthday about 8 months pregnant- went to the loo and this drunk woman started touching my bump and crying that she had been trying for a baby for ages and was so jealous etc..and she wouldn't let me leave for ages- i wouldn't have minded if it was a genuine person TTC but honestly shes a well know regular alcoholic at that bar and shes got no chance of conceiving with the amount she drinks shes probably picked her uterus!

Me too.. unless someone looked really grubby or were sticking there fingers in Jack's mouth I wouldn't be too wound up. Bet he gets worse germs from his own fingers.

As for people staring, erm, again I wouldn't be offended. I'd be happy someone was looking at my baby. Although sometimes people do stare too much and I don't know where to look so I either get Jack's hand and pretend like he's waving, start small chit chat or just smile and look away and they can stare at Jack until their heart is content

I took Ella into to see my old class at school a couple of weeks ago and all the children were touching her hands, when we left I wsahed them with baby soap! I am paranoid about hand washing myself so I def didn't want her hands in her mouth after touching germy children!

With the feeding thing, I sometimes think that people are judging because I am bottle feeding, but I would never use a mother and baby feeding room - even if I breast fed. Why should you, I go and get a drink and do it in a cafe, or just do it where I am.

I totally hate it when people touch my babies hands or face. I hate it all the more when the put his dummy in his mouth.

I freak out when they have gone and wash his hands and face with a baby wipe and change his dummy. x

hehe this reminds me of Seren's nursery. Al;l her clas mates love Cally and all want to touch her. I am ok with it but do try and get her away before they kiss her especially when they have bright green snotty noses - ah well spose its good for her immune system.

I am actively encouraging people coming up to Cally as a few times some little old dear has given her a pound - if I can carry this on I might not have to go to work after all

i kno EXACTLY what u mean! one time this woman who was clearly an alcoholic- she looked like oliver reed and had greasy wild hair and MASSIVE hands and fingers like cumberland sausages- and leaned over and touched millie not only was my heart racing thinking she cant be clean but also i feared she might fall over drunk on top of her! i couldnt flee quickly enough too boots for some of that soap-free gel stuff that MWs have clipped to their belts- i put it on her before i even paid for it!
