It's basic principle. Do not touch other people's babies! I don't understand why the concept is soooo hard. Maybe it's me. I tend to get all the weirdos tell me their life story when I'm out. Maybe I have a considerate look, or maybe I look like I care. I can assure you, I do not care and I am probably not listening. Christian didn't believe me. He always wondered what took me so long to run the simplest of errands.....until our recent JCPenney trip. A lady admires our children, I say "thanks" but keep walking. She says she is from out of town and asks if the weather is always this hot. I say "yes, it is", while still walking through the store. She continues to follow. She tells me all about her health, how her husband just died (I know sad, huh?) and talks about her children and her children's children and oh how I was stuck pretending to listen for 15 minutes. Listen. I'm not hateful. I just have two kids and my time away from the house and my pajamas is limited. Anyways, I hate to be rude to someone's face and I always feel awkward about telling someone to NOT touch my children. I don't know why, maybe because I don't seem to have enough time to stop someone before they do it? Then after the fact its null?
Well, my old school buddy has a GREAT idea. After having triplets, and I'm sure everyone wanted to gawk at them and touch them, he and his wife came up with a sign to keep people away. Or at least to get people's attention. You gotta, just gotta wash your hands when touching babies! They put their hands in their mouth. Don't touch their feet either.....they put those in their mouth too! Be considerate, be clean. Hands off baby!
Hang this sign on an infant car seat handle or attach it to your stroller canopy. They also sell tees, tanks and bibs! They are currently working with hospitals and selling them in the gift shops. These are gonna be seen everywhere! Don't let your uncomfortableness stop you from keeping germs, flu's and diseases from touching your child. Pick up a Hands Off Baby today!
Or win one here!
Your choice of boy or girl:)

I would love one of these because I, too, have so far had a healthy little boy (let's all knock on wood for our healthy LOs) and would like for him to remain that way! HANDS OFF! =)

I would choose blue...1) I have a little boy 2) If a little girl came along down the road, it could be used fo her as well 3) I love the color blue!!!
I want this because Ian is at the stage where everything goes in his mouth and people come up and want to hold his little hands it is so annoying.
I would choose blue

I need one of these to keep DD from touching DS all the time w/o hands washing.
I would pick blue because it would make ppl scratch their heads if I had a pink one.
I want one (in pink) b/c I'm such a wuss. I have some social hangups and am afraid of people. It's really hard for me to be assertive but I HATE when people touch my Mini-Dork. *I* don't go around touching YOUR face or hands randomly...why do you think it's OK to do that to somebody else just because they're little?
I really want this b/c every time I go out, someone is getting a little too close to my little one. Especially with flu season right around the corner!!

I would chose a blue one b/c I have ALL boys!! :)

Why do I want this? Ummm.... Because I do not want people touching my pretty baby's face. It makes my skin crawl.
Do they have maternity shirts that say don't touch this belly? They should!

I love this idea. I always feel weird telling people not to touch my kid when I don't know them. Although sometimes I don't care. With winter coming this is going to be very important. But also germs are everywhere year round. Such a great idea!
I would have to choose blue. Not only is blue my favorite color but I also have a boy!
