[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]

Yea, nope - I love holding mine more than anything. It’s become a running joke of when I’ll let someone else hold the baby because I enjoy it immensely!! But you literally can’t pay me to hold someone else’s. I had never held a baby until my first - and other people’s babies literally repulse me to this day. I’m so glad I love mine, but I’ll pay you cold hard cash so I don’t have to hold yours.[/quote]
