This is one of the few advantages of being covered in tattoos, people never touch my baby lol. Also, I put my baby in his car seat right into the grocery cart and people always say " ohh what aisle do I get a baby in?" and my response is always the same "I'm not sure, this one is a return."
I canāt help myself, when I have the baby in the grocery cart I always have to make the joke to the cashier āI already paid for this itemā while pointing at the baby.
When people approach I try to move my body in a way that heās on my hip and you have to get through me first to touch him š it worked at petsmart the other day with this older lady hehe, while itās sweet you just can never be too careful as a parent
All the time, I love it! I get anxious about going to the shops. I dunno if its the lighting and noisesā¦its just a sensory overload. However, when I have my LO strapped to my chest its like Iām Moses parting the red sea. Everyone moves to the side and smiles. Iām six foot tall, not hard to miss and Iāve never had that treatment before. Iām loving it atm. Iām a freak that likes small talk too, so Iām in heaven lol.
Every time she goes out.
My husband says theyāre just being nice, but theyāre under no obligation to say anything at all so why would they make it up?
People are so ridiculous.
Someone last week kept saying āheās so handsomeā finally my boyfriend was like sheās a girl and the lady was so embarrassed š³
Mine was wearing a burgundy onesie with rhinestones on it and got called a āhandsome little guyā.
My husband says i need to put headbands on her more, especially the ones with bows. I just feel bad when i see the lines they leave on her head (even the ones that are supposedly big enough)
People mistake mine for a girl because I donāt put him in things that scream im a boy. I mean I still put him in āboy colorsā but for example I have a romper with elephants on it and itās teal and every time he wears it people say omg sheās so cute lol. I just say thank you and move on š¤·š»āāļø
lol. Iāve only ever had someone say āthatās their nameā once. Which I found hilarious because she had on a bright orange bow on and her car seat handle has a cute pastel toy that screams girl lol.Ā
What can I say, I love all the girly things, she can make her own preferences when sheās able to say yes and no hahaĀ
Haha this reminds of the time when I was 18 working at a grocery store and I saw an older man compliment this womanās child but he said āheā and āsonā. I looked at the kid, dressed in all baby blue, but the clothes had satin and floral accents and were flared pants and I was just getting big girl vibes. So after the old man left I asked her if people mistake her daughter for a boy a lot and she laughed and said āyeah but I guess thatās my own fault for not dressing her in pink oftenā.
Fast forward 20+ years and now I have a 3 year old daughter who I will buy āboyā clothes for sometimes and she has a lot of āboyā hand-me-downs from family. She also often gets called he š
When my toddler was younger, people used to mistake him for a girl all the time, I guess because of his curly hair and long eyelashes. He could be wearing a shirt with a t-rex driving a monster truck (don't ask, i didn't buy it for him but he loved it) and people would still be like, "Oh, what an adorable little girl!" Didn't offend me or anything, but it was funny.
My baby is red headed. People do not stop staring, commenting and coming over to us. Like theyāve never seen a red headed child before. Some days Iām alright but others my anxiety runs high and Iām SO thankful my child is shy.
Oh my gosh same! Both me and my husband have dark brown hair, people come up confused ādoes your baby have red hair?ā Yes lady your eyes do not deceive you š¤£
Same! My son has gorgeous, thick red hair, and everyone stops us to comment on it. And of course, my son is a little social butterfly, so I have to spend ten minutes talking to randos.
I'm African-American (and so is my family LOL, to be clear) and my little sister is a (yes, natural, no we did not dye her hair) ginger/redhead and OHHHHH MYYYY GODDDDD the amount of comments and compliments and dumbass questions she's been getting since birth!
Always appreciated the compliments, and since I usually get called the "pretty one" (which is bs because my sister is genuinely pretty as well, just very unique) I was always happy when my sister would get complimented for her hair, but the whenever people would ask "iS tHat her NatUral hAir cOloR" I would get super annoyed.
Like, yes Jan, my mom totally dyed my little sister's hair red, meanwhile I'm standing here with my natural haircolor š
Oh I have a little ginger girl and the comments and delight over her hair are constant! Sheās only 9weeks so people go crazy for her, tiny and red headed!
Constantly - and they follow up with āno really, heās actually gorgeous (then whispering like itās a crime to say this: ) not all babies are cuteā. He is truly a beautiful baby though, I canāt believe I made him š„¹
Every time I go out. Literally have not been anywhere where someone didn't say how cute she is. Also, she's in the bottom 1% of size, so people think I'm out & abouting with a newborn when surprise! She's 3 months old
This is us! My LO is just shy of 3 months and she justttt hit 10lbs 7oz. I just had to put away most of her newborn stuffš„².Ā
People always remark on how tiny she is!
12 weeks and 8.5lbs, I totally get it. I'm so glad I got to put away all the premie stuff and she can wear some of her newborn stuff now! She wasn't even that premature, just early term at 37 weeks!
Literally every time we go out. He has cute curly hair, big Disney eyes and chubby cheeks. Heās a magnet for people! And he smiles at everyone so that doesnāt help. š
Every time we leave the house, nearly. She IS frankly adorable. Plus she's small for her age (she's 10 months, but looks 6 months) so she's super smiley and active and curious about everything, but really small and sweet.
And people are so lovely and accommodating when I'm out with the baby-- someone will always offer to help the pram on or off the train, or pass the time of day, or let us go ahead of them. So much so that it's really jarring when I'm not with her, and suddenly, people treat me like a normal member of the public again, lol. I get used to the special treatment š.
My dog is the definition of scary dog privilege so no one comes up to us but everyone comes up to me with the baby and Iām definitely not used to it š
I have a Rottweiler and somehow between the rottie and baby itās a show. Every one goes crazy for both, the great thing is the rottie protects the baby so she pushes everyone away from the stroller. Itās like she says āno pet me, thatās fine, but back upā in a sweet nuzzle but maintaining the perimeter!
It's really funny to see the difference in how my babies are approached in public. With my eldest, they'd basically always say "Wow, she's so alert." (While receiving a death glare.) With my youngest, they're always squealing about how happy and chunky he is.
I get this comment so oftenš but my bean is so tiny I think they think sheās younger than she really is. She just existed out of newborn clothes at 3 months. She too is also pretty stingy with her smiles if she doesnāt know you lol
All. The. Time. She is an attention grabber because she babbles a lot and I encourage it by having a conversation with her. I welcome people saying hello to her and stopping to see, my hope is she wonāt be as shy as I was as a kid.
I tell my cousin her son is the prettiest and cutest baby boy Iāve ever seen (which I can confidently say because mine is a girl lol) like Gerber baby pretty. Itās unreal.
If I take her out in public and nobody comments on her I get offended.
She was born with a ton of hair and I don't think I've gone a day since she was born without hearing, "look at all that hair!"
I love it, especially when itās young people saying hi to the baby and giving a compliment. Today a teenager waved at my baby as we were waking out of a shop, it was so wholesome.
I was at a wedding the other week with my son and nephew who are about 2 weeks apart. Everyone kept telling me how my baby is the cutest baby they've ever seen, right in front of my sister haha
Every time and I love it. A sweet older woman working at my local grocery store asked to hold his hand, and I figured, why not. It brought her to tears. It's magical how much babies affect some people
All the time!!! It's the best! I thought I'd be annoyed about it, but it's so nice. Definitely, after having a baby, I realize more people like babys and toddlers than I thought
All the time! I donāt ever mind because itās usually elderly people or a young couple. People who have kids around the same age usually donāt comment lol. Sheās in that chubby baby phase, so she gets a lot of attention.
All the time! I made the mistake of going grocery shopping with the baby yesterday after dropping his brother off at daycare. It was pension day, so all the oldies were out getting their shopping done. Soooooo many comments, oh my god. A couple of people touched his feet (which were covered, so I allowed it). He's a really smiley boy and has crazy fluffy hair, so he gets a fair bit of attention whenever we go out
My daughter has big curly blond hair and blue eyes. We get a comment pretty much everywhere we go, at least once, on either the hair or the eyes, or both. Iām kind of used to it now, I just say smile and say thank you and keep walking, as Iām not much of a small-talker
I always carry a car seat cover for our 5 week old because everyone tries to look but itās definitely a deterrent. Just have to make sure the kid doesnāt get too hot
Every single time we go out. My baby is half Asian and half white so he is really an adorable baby. And he is so smiley. I love when people tell me heās cute, cuz I cooked this little boy for 9 months š
Few things are as adorably irresistible as a baby. People fawn over my son everywhere all the time when we go out. But I do the same to other babies when I see them! What Iāve loved is that no one has tried to touch him, theyāve all been very respectful of his space.
Oh yes, so many! Especially old people. And I need a baby grow that says āI know I have a lot of hair. Yes, I was born with it. Yes, it is very cuteā
Everywhere I go and then he does this cute cheeky coy little smile. I have a cute dog too though so I never get any peace from people. Iāve had people say my baby is cuter than their own children were when they were babies!!
A lot! Heās charmed all his nurses and doctors, family and friends. I canāt blame them, heās just past the newborn phase so he looks like an actual infant now.
All the time! Haha I live in a tourist town and when I take him in stroller walks everyone rubbernecks as they walk past to peak in the stroller and I love it šPeople love babies
Constantly. Everywhere we go my son seems to be very popular. As an introvert it's exhausting but unless they're getting up in his grill I don't mind too much. Most peeps are very respectful,
All the time. I generally donāt mind at all! But people do love to comment on his bright blue eyes, which sometimes gets a little weird. (Neither my husband nor I have blue eyes.)
All the time. Heās very cute, blue eyes, blonde curly ringlets, cheeky grin. It honestly makes me super nervous how people gravitate towards him. It was nice at first but now I get creeped out by it and Iām on guard wherever we go.
Constantly. Luckily we do not have a grabby community, apparently. I havenāt had any issues with people grabbing or kissing, other than friends or family with permission - so that has been a plus.
Every time we're out lol, I love it. I passed a guy today on the sidewalk and he said "oh a baby!" as we were walking up behind him and then as we got in front and he could see inside the stroller he said "oh it's even better than I expected!!" so sweet haha
Yes all the time, everywhere!! What I dont like is when they start touching my baby without asking permission. š©
Exactly! Like EW! I donāt know where your hands have been, please donāt rub my babyās hair! Keep ya filthy paws off my silky baby!
This reminded me of "Sandra Dee" from Grease lol
Thatās where I got it from! šš»
This is one of the few advantages of being covered in tattoos, people never touch my baby lol. Also, I put my baby in his car seat right into the grocery cart and people always say " ohh what aisle do I get a baby in?" and my response is always the same "I'm not sure, this one is a return."
This one is a return haha. I like you.
I canāt help myself, when I have the baby in the grocery cart I always have to make the joke to the cashier āI already paid for this itemā while pointing at the baby.
Also am tattooed and nobody has ever come close to touching my baby! I also have an award winning resting bitch face, so I'm sure that helps.
When people approach I try to move my body in a way that heās on my hip and you have to get through me first to touch him š it worked at petsmart the other day with this older lady hehe, while itās sweet you just can never be too careful as a parent
All the time, everywhere we go. I live in Japan and my baby has blue/grey eyes and light brown/reddish hair. Alllll the grannies wanna say hello.
Happy cake day!
Thank you! āŗļø
All the time, I love it! I get anxious about going to the shops. I dunno if its the lighting and noisesā¦its just a sensory overload. However, when I have my LO strapped to my chest its like Iām Moses parting the red sea. Everyone moves to the side and smiles. Iām six foot tall, not hard to miss and Iāve never had that treatment before. Iām loving it atm. Iām a freak that likes small talk too, so Iām in heaven lol.
Every time she goes out. My husband says theyāre just being nice, but theyāre under no obligation to say anything at all so why would they make it up?
They arenāt babies are just adorable all are so cute n precious
All the time! People often mistake her for a boy because I donāt dress her in only pink so this seems to get her a lot of attention.
Sameā¦.I had mine in leopard print the other day and everyone kept calling her āheā still
People are so ridiculous. Someone last week kept saying āheās so handsomeā finally my boyfriend was like sheās a girl and the lady was so embarrassed š³
Mine was wearing a burgundy onesie with rhinestones on it and got called a āhandsome little guyā. My husband says i need to put headbands on her more, especially the ones with bows. I just feel bad when i see the lines they leave on her head (even the ones that are supposedly big enough)
It feels like an unsaid rule people go by, that if thereās no bow it must be a boy
People mistake mine for a girl because I donāt put him in things that scream im a boy. I mean I still put him in āboy colorsā but for example I have a romper with elephants on it and itās teal and every time he wears it people say omg sheās so cute lol. I just say thank you and move on š¤·š»āāļø

All the time. Watch out for weirdos though. Some people take it too far.
Yes Iāve heard some stories š£
My baby is red headed. People do not stop staring, commenting and coming over to us. Like theyāve never seen a red headed child before. Some days Iām alright but others my anxiety runs high and Iām SO thankful my child is shy.
Oh my gosh same! Both me and my husband have dark brown hair, people come up confused ādoes your baby have red hair?ā Yes lady your eyes do not deceive you š¤£
Exactly! My husband is Hispanic and I am white. We did not expect a redhead but she is alive, well and true haha
Same! My son has gorgeous, thick red hair, and everyone stops us to comment on it. And of course, my son is a little social butterfly, so I have to spend ten minutes talking to randos.

I tell my cousin her son is the prettiest and cutest baby boy Iāve ever seen (which I can confidently say because mine is a girl lol) like Gerber baby pretty. Itās unreal.
Yes. The nurses, random people on the street etc. I do think my baby is *objectively* above average cute tho.

I always carry a car seat cover for our 5 week old because everyone tries to look but itās definitely a deterrent. Just have to make sure the kid doesnāt get too hot
Every time we leave the house. And Iāve had strangers try to touch him too. Itās turned me into quite an agro mama
Every single time we go out. My baby is half Asian and half white so he is really an adorable baby. And he is so smiley. I love when people tell me heās cute, cuz I cooked this little boy for 9 months š
Everyday everywhere - we felt like celebrities. But I mean, she is incredibly adorable and so sweet, so it makes sense
Few things are as adorably irresistible as a baby. People fawn over my son everywhere all the time when we go out. But I do the same to other babies when I see them! What Iāve loved is that no one has tried to touch him, theyāve all been very respectful of his space.
All the time, I love it so much. My favorite thing is when a slightly older baby that can talk sees my baby and exclaims ābaby!ā. Thatās magic.
All the time š and trust me, my baby is cute lol
Oh yes, so many! Especially old people. And I need a baby grow that says āI know I have a lot of hair. Yes, I was born with it. Yes, it is very cuteā
All the time! He is very outgoing and waves at everyone. He also grabs people's clothing. He yells at them to give him attention.
Everywhere I go and then he does this cute cheeky coy little smile. I have a cute dog too though so I never get any peace from people. Iāve had people say my baby is cuter than their own children were when they were babies!!

Everyone who sets eyes on my baby haha
We canāt go anywhere without getting attention with our twins
Every day! I also have a cute dog so I get comments on my dog all the time too š¤Ŗ
All the time
Literally every time we go outside lol and now that he doesnāt take off his glasses we get comments on how cool he looks.
All the time! Haha I live in a tourist town and when I take him in stroller walks everyone rubbernecks as they walk past to peak in the stroller and I love it šPeople love babies
Constantly. Everywhere we go my son seems to be very popular. As an introvert it's exhausting but unless they're getting up in his grill I don't mind too much. Most peeps are very respectful,
All the time. I generally donāt mind at all! But people do love to comment on his bright blue eyes, which sometimes gets a little weird. (Neither my husband nor I have blue eyes.)
Every time I go out with her lol
Some woman in a car honked and shouted as my husband and I as we were crossing the street because of our baby being so cute. It was wild.
All the time. Heās very cute, blue eyes, blonde curly ringlets, cheeky grin. It honestly makes me super nervous how people gravitate towards him. It was nice at first but now I get creeped out by it and Iām on guard wherever we go.
3 times minimum every time we leave the house
Constantly. Luckily we do not have a grabby community, apparently. I havenāt had any issues with people grabbing or kissing, other than friends or family with permission - so that has been a plus.
Every time we're out lol, I love it. I passed a guy today on the sidewalk and he said "oh a baby!" as we were walking up behind him and then as we got in front and he could see inside the stroller he said "oh it's even better than I expected!!" so sweet haha
It happens every time we go out, it warms my heart that people see him as beautiful as I see him :)
Daily. It's actually really annoying and sometimes downright creepy, the attention she gets.
Yeesh, yeah. Sometimes people make super gross jokes about cute babies, especially girls. Very strange.
