Is there a polite way to let people that are oogling over your baby know not to touch your baby? Preston's been "making a lot of friends" lately when we are out and about and this one reeeaaaaaaally trashy looking lady came up and started shaking his hands and feet, and I wanted to sanitize him right then! I wanted to yell at her to not touch him, but didn't want to come off as some psycho bitch. :lmao Help! :D

just be like my baby has sensitive skin so can you please not touch him. or you could always just be like "get the hell away"

I never had a problem with folks "befriending" Ethan. I always carry around Purell hand sanitizing wipes if someone freaks me out...

When Alex was 4 months old a drunk old lady too him right out of my arms. I started flipping out! When random people in public touch my kids I ask them not to. I don't care if they get offended :lol

Ohmigosh Sarah...now THAT would freak me out!!!

I had a random lady just yesterday morning at my sons school reach back and say the baby was cute and just grab her hand. Now I dont mind if she asks to touch her feet but I said could u please not touch her hands. She said oh is she allergic I said NO but she always puts her hands in her mouth and we ask people to wash there hands first. Honestly if its someone we know or a sibling Im more easy but that makes me mad when strangers do that.

That happens with DD. It happened just about a month ago at Walmart and DD was looking at the lady like, "get ur hands off of me" (the lady was poking DD in the tummy, like trying to tickle her if I remember correctly). I didn't know how to tell her to stop without coming off like a complete b*%#^. Afterward, DH and I were discussing it and trying to come up with nicer ways to tell people to stop touching (cuz I was going to say, "Please stop touching my baby." But DH thought that was too mean). We decided to just start telling them, "It looks like she doesn't like that." Or something to that affect letting them know DD doesn't want them touching her.

It happened all the time with Emily and I almost bought a onesie that said "DONT TOUCH THE BABY" :lmao

I never figured out what to do with that one.

WIth natalie I had a valid medical excuse. People would try to touch her and I'd say, "dont touch her, she has a compromised immune system, she will get sick and be hospitalized" People usually got scared and jerked away in fear.

I ask EVERYONE not to touch the baby's hands or face. I don't even like their siblings touching their hands. I try to get them to touch their feet or their belly. There are so many germs that people and kids pick up, then they touch the baby's hands or face, the baby then touches their face and puts their hands in their mouth. The germs go right into the mouth as well. If they get offended, oh well, your baby has less chance of getting sick.
