To think MIL putting her nose in DS mouth is totally out of order?

[bradderswantsababy]

She first did it when DS was 3 weeks old. When I mentioned it to DH he said he saw her do it but she probably wouldn't do it again which she didn't until this afternoon twice!! DS is 6 months but no matter how old he is I don't her or anyone's nose in his mouth AIBU?

No - let her keep doing it! He'll have TEETH soon.

Why does she do it, is it to comfort the baby when he's upset, or...
Utterly bizarre thing to do, I'd be repulsed.

Probably not the most hygienic thing to do, but not "totally out of order". So YAB a teeny bit U.

Having said that, I am probably a bit over relaxed about these matters, having found both my sons sucking on a spaniel's ear at around this age. That would be a real cocker spaniel's ear, btw, not a euphemism for my boob.

I have a photo in my purse of DS1 sucking on DHs nose
(And we're not old!)

My mum used to do this. Did it bother me? No! Why would it?

With all due respect, please go the grip shop and make a purchase.

I have never heard of such a thing.

Most odd!

Putting noses into babies mouths is deemed a normal and acceptable thing? I really don't understand, I've never even heard of that but it seems really absurd!

I don't know if YABU or not, it's the first I've ever heard of such a thing?!

I used to put the tip of my nose in DD's mouth to see if she was hungry. Looking back on it, I'm quite sure it was a symptom of my lack of sleep, but it seemed perfectly reasonable at the time

I think it is horrible! why does she need to do it?

That's. Just. Weird.

I don't care whose nose it is. Noses do not belong in mouths.

I have never heard of or seen anyone do this. It's odd. Odd, odd, odd, odd, odd. Odd.

Eww and double eww!

I really cannot understand why anyone would do that so YADNBU!

Lizzie. Arf.

My whole attitude to my PFB's things in mouth changed when he survived the licking of a Jack Russell's bumhole! 'twas a slightly embarrassing call to NHS Direct.

It's weird, tell her to stop it.

YANBU

Yuck. YANBU.

My nephew is 4 months, he grabs peoples cheeks so he can bite their noses, he is teething I think. He gets a really evil look on his face first and it really hurts.

I would find it odd if someone did it on purpose to get the baby to put their nose in its mouth.

Lol. A lot of you, including OP need to get a grip! Unless the baby has a compromised immune system nothing bad is going to happen. And tbh at 6mo baby is probably starting to put a lot of random crap in its mouth anyway.

That's not on. YANBU. And frankly the argument that they put worse things in their mouths does not change the fact that this is odd and yukky. Once they've 'licked a jack russells bumhole' does everything else become acceptable?

Well I do remember mine liking to bite/chew noses.

You know-when you hold them quite close & they do it themselves?

Never known anyone to actively put their nose in a baby´s mouth though.

Seems weird to me.

When baby was only 3wks, I can´t believe that you didn´t say anything tbh.

I´d have found it so strange that I`m sure some expletive would have slipped out!

It's not weird .And it's not your mum inserting her nose into the baby's mouth.Babies mistake noses for nipples and try to latch on to them.We used to have a pink circular uplighter on the ceiling over the bed and the DCs when they were babies would open their mouth thinking it was a big pink nipple dangling there.Hilarious!
