Now, here's my best advice...make sure you buy yourself a Baby Bjorn, and wear your baby as much as possible in public. Less people will then have access to touching your baby during that nanosecond when you aren't looking.

My wife did get one of these .... and I never would have thought about the 'not looking' idea until this post; what a concept, but given how crazy our world is today, I guess this is something to consider...thanks.

Once when I *was* looking, but it happened so lightning fast...

I was in the back of an elevator, I had my stroller beside me, and my preschooler standing on the other side of the stroller. The door opened, a group of elderly folks got on, when one elderly lady immediately proceeded to lick her fingertips, and smudge her slobber on my 2½ year old's forehead! Ewwwwwww! My preschooler, who was quite shy back then, tried to get to me behind the stroller, but we all were so crammed in, nothing budged. And as if all of the above wasn't bad enough, in that nanosecond trying to console my now-tearful child on the other side of the stroller, I looked up to find Mrs. Slobber-lady wiping my 4 month old's spit-up with her husband's hanky.

Do not leave home without the Bjorn.
