Have you ever held, cuddled or kissed a baby or toddler? I myself just can't imagine holding a baby. All that loud annoying crying.

eeeew, no.

babies always seem dirty and sticky to me, no matter how clean they actually are.

I don't mind them once they start making some sense though.

I had never held one til I had my own. I always felt I was too clumsy. But being a mommy, it's kinda required that you hold, cuddle and kiss them.

Yes, and they're looooooooovely. So small and cute and innocent and they seem so delicate (but don't worry, they're tougher than they look), and those big eyes and silly noises and little toes... even the throwing up milk doesn't matter. I love little ones.

Not recently. I held my cousins when I was smaller, and when I was about 13-14 I held one of my Grandmothers little babies a lot. He was adorable, and he just really needed kisses.

I have held babies. For some reason many people think that if they make me hold their baby for a moment I'll suddenly want a baby of my own. :roll:

I've never cuddled or kissed them though, that kind of thing just doesn't come natural to me.

I avoid toddlers because I generally can't stand them. They're usually dirty, smelly, loud and annoying.

Yeah. I held my brothers when they were babies. I don't know if I ever kissed them.

Yes. I just can't get enough of babies. Which is weird, considering my sensory issues.

Beautiful. So very small...

They are not stinky if they have been taken care of properly! As in "actually change the diaper when it gets wet"!

I have, but I remember feeling uncomfortable because I was unable to relate. I prefer being around children that can speak.

I have no problem with the lack of language. Just seeing a baby learn is an amazing thing. Their minds are unlike anything in the adult world.
