when my 21 mth old daugther want to kiss her 3 month old bro, i just let her. how u stop her and telling her it is pantang. She will not know the meaning and she will end up thinking it is not good to kiss brother. My inlaw did mention not to let my girl kiss my bb, but i just make don't know. In the end of day, it is my kids and I want them to love each other.    Once they know how to fight I doubt to see them kissing anymore, right..?

My BB girl is 7 months old now and lately I only discover that when she sees another BB or a BB's picture, she will quickly near her face and "kiss" him/her leh ....... how come ah??    How could I have the heart to stop her leh????           

But I do avoid myself from kissing my BB right on her lips because I afraid that I might p*ss on some virus or any food that will caused allergy to the BB     But I just can't stop myself from kissing her cubby cheecks and I'll never stop kissing her until she rejects me who knows when, hahaha.
Hi, Caroline,
just to share my opinion here.....
we taught my nieces & my gal to kiss on cousin's cheek / adult's cheek too. Coz we think for hygiene purpose not suppose lips to lips

Hi all,

Just my thoughts..
My 10month old baby already knows what love is..He would come crawling to us in the morning to hug us..So, I dont believe that we should deprive them for love. I would very much love to have my kids kiss me good night and tell me that they love me everyday (if possible).
Good luck!

I also heard these pantang larang from my mom.
Can't let baby who not yet learn to talk to kiss each other. They will be slow in learning to talk later.
And cannot kiss a baby while they are sleeping, they will become grumpy.
I am not sure how true is this, but just try to avoid lar, especially in front of my mom.

I don't believe the myth too.    Older generation usually have many old maids tales to share.    We need to weigh and apply what is logic and good for us.    Normally I dont follow blindly.

My gal is 8mths old & my hubby's niece is 9mths old. When both bb met, we taught them to hug & sayang each other. But my hubby's aunty screamed at us & say don let both bb kiss each other, or else they cant talk.

Wow.. i feel that it's so silly! I don belive in such things, as my mother's side has no pantang in aything at all. All of my cousins & nieces got no difficulty in speaking.

I do agree to Sylvia that adult kissing bb will cause rashes on their face, coz bb's skin r more sensitive, our sliver is dirty & full with bacteria.

All mommies, not to b too worry in those pantang rules, ok?

All old wives beliefs lah.... hehehe

Yesterday got one aunty ask me why never give salt to my baby? According to her, no salt for baby means the baby will be late to start talking, wahahahaha, I nearly want to laugh but of course I didn't. To me, it    just doesn't make sense at all.

I still won't give salt or sugar to my baby, at least until he is older than a year.
Totally agree. It is not scientific at all. Ask her politely if we dun teach our bbs to talk can the salt/sugar teach them? Hahaha!!! We should stand firm.

i also never heard about this thing. i kiss my bb since the 1st day he born. now he 15 months and always make noise and a lot of sound (like making complaint).

ei, takkan new bb you do not want to kiss. they are so cute,smell so nice. can you resist not kissing them? i cannot loh!! furthermore, you labour so long and finally bb is out from your stomach and you just leave bb to cry? they just need to be hug and cuddle, don't you want to be hug and cuddle when you are feeling low?

My mum oso dun let me kiss my baby when he is poo poo.    My baby alwiz cry, so the other day my MIL and I went to ask god, d god say we alwiz kiss him when he is sleeping, spoilt him already wor. Wut u think? Ask us to let him cry, dun carry so often, but how could u stand when u see ur baby cry until the whole face turn red and dun carry him?
i think that is not true.    i agree with you, how could we stand our baby crying for long time ?

we always kiss our daughter, not only at her face. we kiss her forehead, hair, hand & give her a very big hug.

now she imitate our hug and hum emmm.. when we ask for her hug.
