[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not feel this way even though I loved holding my own baby. I remember people used to offer to let me hold their babies before I was a mom and I didn't really like it. I worried I'd drop it and didn't want to be spit up on.

She nice becoming a mom I like it a little more but still not as much as people seem to think I should. A friend recently had a baby and every time I go over there her husband hands me the baby and expects me to hold her the whole time. She's cute but I don't want to hold a baby for 90 minutes. It keeps me from relaxing.

I remember when I had my own baby I wanted to hold her all the time. But I just don't feel that way about babies universally. [/quote]

I’m similar. I could hold mine all day long but I’ve never been one to gravitate toward other babies. It’s not for fear of dropping them, I’m just not really a baby person in general. [/quote]

I’m the same. I was extremely bonded to my own babies but before and after that phase have been pretty disinterested in other babies. One nice thing about having my own was I had a brief period where I felt confident to hold and interact with babies in general but it’s amazing how quickly that passed and now I feel like a clumsy oaf again, who actively tries to avoid that exact situation.

This exactly. I just do not like babies.[/quote]
