To not really understand my friend's angst re stranger stroking her baby's face

A colleague was sitting in the reception area of a hotel a few days ago holding her baby, and a staff member admired the baby and stroked his cheek.
My friend is now incensed at a 'stranger touching my child'. I mean, she's really annoyed about it. I could understand if it was some dodgy looking drunk, or someone who was coughing and spluttering with a cold or somesuch. But this was just a normal woman working in a hotel.

AIBU to be Confused at her attitude?

I so agree with all the recent comment, here here for common sense. If you don't want people holding your baby, don't bring it to work! Some very ridiculous and precious sentiments on here.

I loved it when someone placed a coin in my babies and and then gave it to me for safekeeping. It's a good luck thing and Dd made a fortune out of it ??

I don't touch other folks babies as I realise they might not like it. I can't remember having any issues with it. The only thing I didn't like was anyone removing their dummies because THEY didn't like to see babies sucking dummies.

FUCK off! My baby did so there!
