WWYD? People want to touch my baby

[Butterfly Dawn]

We get this a lot. I just smile and say please dont touch the kids dont like it- they hate it!
I have also gotten very good at seeing hands coming for us and moving kids out of the way.
I hate it when people try to take DD dummy out of her mouth and tell me she shouldnt have it. It helps her reflux so dont judge!

This happened a lot when DS was tiny. At 6 days old, an old lady stopped us in the shopping centre and asked how old he was. I said 6 days, and she reached out and touched his face. I instinctively jerked away from her and stepped backwards. I simply said "Ok, have a lovely day, bye" and off we went.

When out with him in the pram, I would drape a light cloth over the pram to deter strangers hands from entering. Worked a charm!

This really annoyed me too. We had the same thing all the time and, like your DD, it helped her reflux. Why can't people just mind their own business?

I carry mine - then I could always control who did and didn't touch them, because they would have to first invade 'my' personal space to get close enough and that limits most people by itemself.
