Is it normal to kiss my baby so much?

I kiss my baby constantly.

She's just so kissable. I can't help but continuously cuddle and kiss her little face.

In fact I just had to sneak into her nursery to give her a little kiss before I got ready for bed.

I honestly think I must kiss her 1000 x a day 😂😂😂😂

I was hanging out with some mum friends the other day and I noticed none of them kiss their babies ... at least no where near as much as I do!

Do you kiss your baby often? If so how often?

Am I normal? Haha!

I question myself on this too,

I must kiss my babies at least a hundred times a day if not more they are just too cute and squishy 🥰

So in my opinion you are normal ahah! don't worry about it.

Lol I get about a hundred kisses in by breakfast sometimes! It's the LAW that you have to do it 🥰🥰🥰

In a few years they won't want to be kissed, so make the most of it while you can!

When DS was a baby a lady in the Post Office said she had never seen anyone kiss a baby as much as I did. I am so glad I did as now he is 7 I am lucky to get kisses.

Totally normal and lovely. Enjoy your little one. I still kiss my big kids lots (7 and 8) but nowhere near as much as the baby days

Poppins2016 · 27/05/2023 21:21

I'll join the club. They are so adorable, squidgy and kissable, it's got to be done! Both my children (4.5, 1.5) love kissing/being kissed (although only by people they're close to).

Poppins2016 · 27/05/2023 21:23

... I'll add that I'm also very open about it and do it in front of friends, but notice that they don't kiss their children as much as I do (in public, anyway).

I kissed mine within an inch of their lives when they were babies. My now 23 year old daughter was visiting today and I kissed her cheeks at least 10 times. 😁

CSR721 · 27/05/2023 21:24

I kiss my baby all day every day 😂 I just love his little face so much it hurts my heart 😭❤️

SaulGoodman1 · 27/05/2023 21:26

Constantly! I kiss their cheeks, podgy pudding legs and pudgy fingers all the time. in fact they now rest their little head against my lips and say ‘more’ when I stop! Adorable! Xxx

Waggytail · 27/05/2023 21:29

I could kiss my son all day long. His wee face is so squishy and adorable I can't help it. I also devour his hands, legs and feet 😁

LittleBumblebee3 · 27/05/2023 21:29

I’ll kiss mine 100x a day until the day he asks me to stop 😂

He’s now 2.5, and every night before he goes to sleep he gives me a kiss on the forehead and says “love you mumma! I’ll see you after bed!” 🥹😂
It doesn’t matter how challenging a day we’ve had - as soon as he does that my heart just bursts 🥰

C1N1C · 27/05/2023 21:32

I kiss my cat at least 5-10 times every hour... you're fine with your baby :)

Thepossibility · 27/05/2023 21:39

You have to make the most when they are tiny!
The kisses wear off as they get bigger. At least my toddler is still lovely and smoochy.

Cas112 · 27/05/2023 21:48

I do it to.

If I'm holding him I'm kissing him.. I'm fully prepared for him to grow up thinking I'm a nuisance 😂

Lightsgoingout · 27/05/2023 21:49

Yes! I also nibble mine, just a little ear lobe. I’ve been told it’s a trait from when we were more animalistic

BriarHare · 27/05/2023 21:51

My kids are older but when they were little, I kissed them all day long - as did my husband.

I now kiss my dog constantly instead.

MissyB1 · 27/05/2023 21:51

I still sneak up on my 14 year old and kiss him on his head 😁
I kiss the dog several times a day, Dh looks on jealously 😂

Emmamoo89 · 27/05/2023 21:54

I kiss my son all the time. He's 1 and started to kiss me back 🥰

NewmummyJ · 27/05/2023 21:55

My son just has the most kissable perfect cheeks, I can't help myself. I don't think you can love them too much so I think we are okay!

LassoOfTruth · 27/05/2023 22:02

This is so sweet. You’re not alone! I still kiss my kids (5 and almost 3) billions of times a day and munch the smaller one’s epic chubby squishy cheeks anytime he’ll let me. I definitely do it more than anyone else I meet but I can’t help myself and the kids don’t mind (for now)

I do the nibble thing too!

I pretend to eat my 1.5 year olds cheeks and he now does it back to me... unfortunately he hasn't quite grasped the concept of only using his lips and not his teeth, too... sometimes it's a little bitey 🤣

Lightsgoingout · 27/05/2023 22:50

I now have an urge to go nibble my children while they sleep….

Lightsgoingout · 27/05/2023 22:51

@Poppins2016 😂🤣😂🤣😂

Hugasauras · 27/05/2023 22:52

I kiss those chubby peachy baby cheeks a zillion times a day!
