Doctor kissing my baby

[SparklyVampire]

I have been thinking about this over night and now I think I need some opinions. Ok so yesterday I took my DD to her 8 week check, the doctor was very umm, enthusiastic. She took DD straight away for cuddles and said it was the best part of been a doctor. She was very gushy about how beautiful and perfect DD is, then she started kissing DD. A lot.
I was a bit weirded out but I didn't say anything. I told Dh when he got home from work and he thinks that it is creepy and I should report her.
I think she just got a bit carried away even if it was strange, I'm not sure if it warrants reporting though.
Would you say it is unreasonable to report or would you shrug it off?

I think a cuddle was fine - nice actually. Also a kiss. Or two. Any more, and I wouldn't have liked it either, OP.

The lovely irresistible smell of young babies heads is nature's way of ensuring babies are picked up and cared for. My SIL thought I was weird for constantly sniffing my son's head but I found the smell so addictive. Your GP sounds lovely.

If you didn't like it i suppose you should have said it to your GP at the time. I wouldn't be v comfortable with it either but it can be difficult to stop people when they're doing it and they're so caught up with the kissing that they aren't picking up on your discomfort. I still remember a nurse picking my newborn up in the hospital and kissing him. She had a huge cold sore. Still annoyed at myself that I didn't say anything.
There are a few dramatic posts here including one from a GP. Babies are gorgeous and kissable but a boundary was crossed once she kissed A LOT and mother was uncomfortable. There isn't a Court in the land that will dismiss a GP for being over affectionate to a baby but awareness is an important trait here and I don't think the GP picked up on OP's discomfort. YANBU but I would speak to the THE GP rather than report her

Ignore your DH, this is a total non event and if he's anxious like this at 8wks in he's going to be a wreck by the time she's snogging boys and going clubbing

Your gp sounds enthusiastic that's all

My eldest is in sixth form and in y3 her teacher wthe loveliest man in his late fifties,he took a shine to her and used to enthusiastically praise her whenever we saw him etc. About a year after she left his class and he had moved jobs we saw him in town, he ruffled her hair and called her 'little Tinkerbell' honestly she was so chuffed. She thought he was great, and he was. Genuinely interested in all his pupils, etc
There'd probably be a thread on him nowadays, describing him as 'strange' or 's safeguarding issue'

HA OP! Were you expecting this pasting? Nest of vipers today.

I agree with those who think it is lovely for a GP to cuddle and coo at a baby, so much better than a robo-tron 2000 type, one kiss ok but lots of kissing I wouldn't have been that comfortable with either. I'm a teacher and although I will always give children a hug, call them affectionate names 'could you bring me your maths book sweetheart etc' I wouldn't kiss them as I think that is over stepping the boundaries.

However, I would not report them for it, just write it off as over enthusiasm and see how it goes next time or ask to see another GP if you are uncomfortable. And you are allowed to be uncomfortable despite what a lot of posters on this thread are saying, she's your child and it isn't usual for GPs to kiss babies!

I don't think so voter101 people are just disagreeing, if you want to see a pasting go to AIBU!

Lol my above post is confusing... I guess what I meant is if you post in AIBU you can't expect unanimous agreement and hair stroking!

Oh I agreed gingee Aibu is what the song 'danger zone' is all about.

Just trying to reassure a new mum that her concerns are perfectly fine as opposed to savaging her!
