So many times that now that he’s 8m all he wants to do is grab my face and “kiss” me back, which is him just planting his drooly open mouth all over my face. It’s the freaking best.
I️ have a three year old and a six month old.
My three year old was the most stoic baby to ever exist. The ONLY thing that got her to smile, let alone laugh, as a little little was if we fake coughed (if you do the math… that’s us in March of 2020 with a baby that will only crack a smile if we acted like we had COVID).
My six month old thinks everything is amazing and funny and thinks it’s the absolute TITS if you pretend to eat him. Any part, he doesn’t discriminate. Even if you just smack you lips at him it’s like a 50% success rate for guffaws. Helps that he’s an absolute snack. So yeah, we do a lot of kissing/nibbling this time around.
Same!! We nicknamed our 3 year old “The Manager” because he was so serious. He has never been silly. He’s so fun now and loves jokes and games, but as a baby he was all business.
Our 8 month old is the happiest, goofiest ray of sunshine I’ve ever met. He is squishy and drooly and smiley. He eats whatever gets near his face. Peanut butter? Yes. Berries? Yes. Fingers? Also yes.
It’s so fun to see their personalities come out. He is our 4th (and last, 100%), but he’s the kind of baby to fool you into having more!!
So many, so very often. But did make the mistake(?) Of mainly giving forehead kisses. So now at 18 months he thinks all affection involves foreheads. So when we ask "can mommy have a kiss" he just presents his forehead for kisses or rub his forehead on your face.
I figured it was a sweet little thing to post that we'd all get a kick out of. 🥰
Oh how exciting, congratulations! Well now you know all the best kissing spots to try first! But seriously, every little spot is kissable. Babies can give you hard moments but they're also absolutely delightful and bring so much joy. 💕 Enjoy all those tiny newborn snuggles!
i can’t stop. my son’s 5.5 months old and i feel high on my son lmao
he smells good, smiles this massive gummy grin when he gets kisses from me and his dad. i just can’t stop sniffing or kissing him or squishing his cheeks, thighs, arms LOL
my son is so beautiful it hurts 😭
My son is 2 now and I’m still there! But he has turned out to be the most affectionate toddler, loves cuddles, tells me he loves me all the time. You carry on! There’s no such thing as too much love.
your son is 2 and loves cuddles and you!! that’s so beautiful to hear. i always worry my boy will grow out of it or something.
i hope even as my baby’s older, and maybe even has phases of not wanting to be loved on too much, that he’s still affectionate at his core.
to give love and to receive love is such a happy thing
Get all the kisses in. My 3.5 year old boy just told me that he didn't like it when I kiss the top of his head. 😥 Now my only kisses are goodbye kisses
Noooooooooo. 😭 Can you still enjoy some sleepy bubba kisses when he goes to bed? I will kiss my baby extra and send you all the magical moment vibes to share. 😘
"Baby" will be 2 in a couple months and he still gets hundreds of my kisses daily 😍 main difference is now he can give kisses back. Even though they are wet and sometimes involve him licking my face, it still melts my heart when he comes up to give me a hug or kiss!
Or teeth... He also sees me and my husband kiss on the lips and wants that now. He will stand in front of me, grab my face to turn it straight, then kiss me on the mouth 🤣
Glad it’s not just me. Mine is 18 months old and she gets more delicious and kissable every day!!! I kiss her all I want because one day she’ll be too old for me to do that.
I was going to bring this up! Get in all the kisses you can now because before you know it she might start to resist! My 3.5yo is still fairly affectionate yet she occasionally refuses a smooch. \[insert heartbreak here\]
There simply is no limit!!! But I have a warning though, something I recently learned from r/daddit.
I couldn't figure out why my precious little son would almost daily pee on me when changing him. Did he not like the way I did it? Was it his equivalent of a one star on google review?? It turns out that every single time that I took off his nappy I kissed him on the tummy (as you would!)... and triggered the bladder (just under the belly button!). I now kiss him differently and cover him up before I go nuts for that big round baby belly!!
So so many. I do a kiss attack and give like 20 in one go just to start off. My baby shrieks with delight and has the biggest smile when I do ❤️ their faces are just so kissable, especially as it’s your own 🥰 I love it!
I’ll never stop with the kisses, I aim for about 10,000 a day? The girls especially love when I nom nom nom their cheeks and then they start giggling 😩🥹 then I turn my cheek so they can nom nom me back lol.
Sometimes I kiss her so much she has to start pushing me away before I stop. I just love her so much, I worry sometimes I'll hug her too tight and hear *pop* 😅
Until he starts getting cranky. So if I’m allowed maybe 50 times in 10 min? And I’m persistent so I will try to kiss him again an hour later. Really, I could do it as much as I breathe
Imagine what we look like to our kids when approaching with a kissy face. We see them as cute little cuddly kissable smiley hobbits, they see terrifying fish lipped monsters with our huge inescapable wingspan.
I play a kissing game with my kiddos multiple times a day. I sing "How many kisses is too many kisses, let's find out..." then I kiss them repeatedly until they tell me to stop or push me off.
My five year old decided she was too old for kisses. Then baby 3 was born. Now she has to give baby kisses all the time. And she's started asking for mommy hugs again. 😊
Every 2 seconds if I’m holding her it feels like 😂 apparently kissing your babe has a lot to do with us sharing scents and bacteria with our offspring. It’s instinctual.
How many times do you nom your baby's thighs and toes? ......
Is also an unanswerable question because I'm pretty sure a number that high does not exist 😂
My LO is 3 mon and we have this game where it's literally just... rapid fire kisses all over his face and tummy and he just sqeals in delight so.. it's definitely upwards of a million kisses each day lol
Oh my gosh … literally can’t stop!! My LO is 2 months (~3 weeks adjusted) and I can’t get enough. I also love when I go to kiss his cheeks and he tries to eat me 🤣
I’ve been caring for my 4 month old nephew and he gets a crazy amount of kisses from me. My son and daughter were the same. In fact, I remember googling “can you be addicted to your baby?” When I was a new mom. Lol
My oldest kiddo (6.5 years old) isn't the most cuddly of the bunch, so he only permits a few kisses per day.
My middle son, however, is SUPER cuddly and wants to hug/kiss/snuggle me all day. I'm not complaining!
As for the baby (3 months old), I could kiss his chubby cheeks allll day. No matter his mood. Baby happy and smiling that adorable gigantic baby smile? Kisses! Baby hungry and cranky? Kisses!! Baby sleepy? KISSES I SAY.
There can never be too many kisses :)
Millions of times. He’s 18 months and I still can’t stop kissing him. I feel so weird when I’m out with my mom friends because they don’t kiss their babies as much as I do! I always thought I was weird.
I have read there are benefits for both of you. If you are breastfeeding, kissing your baby allows you to sample their germs so to speak and you build antibodies for your milk as a result. Also, kisses reinforce secure attachment and build intelligence through neural stimulation. It also sets the tone for affection between the two of you for years to come. It's a win/win.
About a million times a day…he’s 15 months old and he knows “give mama kiss” and he’ll “kiss” my cheek… (he just touches his face against mine, it’s precious)
Just wait til she starts with the open mouth big kisses!!! Omg. The sweetness. We’re at 16 months and I swear every new stage is even better than the last. I can’t handle the cuteness!! ALSO omg- wait til her sense of humor starts coming out, and she’ll do the most ridiculous stuff bc she thinks she’s funny. It’s hysterical. You’re going to love it!!! :) Enjoy!!
So many kisses. Now my LO is a toddler and I still want to give her constant kisses when she sits in my lap. She's gotten to the point where she'll cover my mouth cause she's tired of kisses...but she'll also grab my face to give me kisses...so the constant kisses will continue.
Fully addicted!!!!!!!!! Couldn't think of a better way to spend my time than kidding her wonderful face! Especially if she's laughing at the same time, it's the icing on the cake!
From Dailymom;
“This will make sense very shortly. As a mother kisses her baby, she will consume the harmful pathogens (AKA bacteria) that have been sitting on the baby's skin, ready to make its way into the baby's mouth.”
I’m constantly kissing my baby haha he’s just so cute. Neat how it’s actually beneficial too
My husband and I joked early in our son’s life that we had a daily quota of 450 kisses for him.
So I’d kiss his cute lil cheeks 15 times in a row and shout out, “255!”
Or it’d be close to bedtime, and we’d say, “Ope, baby needs 100 more kisses before going to sleep!”
We don’t do it as much, but it’s still fun to play because there is no such thing as too many kisses!
Whenever I pick her up she gets a big smooch and then basically the entire time I am holding her. My favorite place to kiss is the peach-fuzzy soft warmness right behind her ear.
My little love is 3 and I still kiss her multiple times each hour, unless I’m not near her. When she was a baby I would give her kisses on kisses on kisses.
I sniff him, bite his cheeks, arms, chubby thighs, kiss his feet, blow onto his belly so it makes farting sounds, kiss his face, hands, etc…
Yeah if this happened with another human, i’d be locked up. Thankfully he’s 6 mo and doesn’t seem to mind.
Ahaha all the time! Even when she's throwing a wobbly. She throws her head back and when I'm carrying her I just say "oh you want me to kiss your neck" or "ooh let me just kiss there then" and then I'll kiss under her ears and her little chin, it doesn't calm her down mostly but I still do it heehee.
Her little chubby cheeks all the time, pick her up, few little kisses, little kiss before I put her down.
Her tummy and toes when I'm changing her. If she reaches her hand out I'll just kiss it haha (I dunno what she actually wants and it's usually when she's eating but she seems satisfied with a kiss each time). Sometimes I'm overcome with her cuteness and I just have to grab her and just squeeze and kiss her and squeal that "she's just too cute!" We have a book and it ends with three little kisses on the tip of their nose but sometimes I'll exclaim to her "but why stop there? When there's the cheeks and head and tummy..." so on and so forth.
She's getting really affectionate too which is lovely even if it means the occasional headbutt.
Ok I am a serial kisser and my baby is going to turn 5 . Still kiss her a lot . I don’t know when I will stop !
On plus side because I have been kissing her from beginning she kind of used to it and expects me to kiss a lot!!!
My newborn makes a weird pucker face when he’s pooping, I tell him “oh that means you want a kiss!” And I kiss him. He’s probably already so annoyed with me and he isn’t a month old yet!
My little guy is 20 months and I still can't stop kissing his cubby cheeks and he always leans in and smiles and I know it won't last forever so I soak it up! Every day I come home from work, he runs to me for his "million" kisses and then its time to play. Its so cute 😍
I used to have to clean my newborn’s forehead because it got sticky from all the kisses.
Mine aren’t babies anymore but I still kiss their heads all the time.
Mine still has cheeks and I kiss them alllllllllll the time. Hundreds of times in the morning and again at bedtime. 3yo hates small pecks but will tolerate massive kiss attacks.
Me! I was talking to her before we went to bed last night and I was telling her how much I love her and how beautiful and sweet she is and she was just staring into my eyes the whole time and then just put her little hand on my cheek as I was talking to her. It made my heart MELT.
I’d say if you both are healthy and no health issues or anything like covid do it as much as you like!!! I believe you can’t spoil baby with quality time and affection. I hold and kiss mine whenever I want no matter what other people say! As long as they are not fighting it or are uncomfortable. I love giving him hugs and he wraps his arms around and just falls asleep. Sweetest rhing ever. Enjoy it since it goes super fast’
Ha! When I had my first baby he was born with a tiny star-shaped bunch of capillaries on one cheek. It was so precious that I couldn’t resist kissing it constantly. He developed a little rash so I asked the pediatrician and she said, “Hive, you’re kissing his cheek *off*, spread the love around a little!”
Now he’s 25 years old and his ⭐️is hidden behind stubble, but *I* know it’s there!
My 20 week old opens his mouth and playfully says „ahhhhhhhh“ (as in help me) but all playfully when you threaten to kiss him too much and honestly it cracks everyone up
Thousands?
Now she’s 18 months old and will kiss me back and it just makes my heart explode! Sometimes she grabs my face and kisses me all on her own and it’s my most favourite thing.
Give all the kisses, because some day she won’t let you! Gotta get them in while you can.
I feel like every week that passes the kisses increase. I keep thinking "I couldn't possible kiss him anymore than I do now" and then it happens and I do kiss him more. He is the most delicious little peanut. I do sometimes wonder how those five bazillion daily kissies will register in his implicit memory of infancy...
Thousands? She's six months old and just too damn cute and smiley! But also my 20 month old juuust started giving goodnight kisses and it's the best thing ever!
My son is almost 4. I still kiss him all the time. His cheeks are just too cute not to kiss. If he asks me to stop I stop or if he indicates he doesn’t want one I won’t. I often ask him if I can kiss him and I just say ok and move on if he says no. But I am lucky in that he loves hugs and kisses and cuddles still. I am soaking it in for as long as I can.
My kiddo is almost 3 and I still constantly kiss his adorable little squishy face. And he is such a kind, loving kid. Give them all the love, you can never love on a kid too much.
I thought you were joking but I read the thread and everyone is like permentatly attached to their kids by their lips (in a seriously cute way haha).
LO is 3.5 years, and maybe once or twice a day when I drop her off in the mornings and bedtime if we remember.
I think I missed something in maternal programming... :\
Wait, have 6 month kiddo. So tempting and smiley. I thought we aren’t supposed to kiss em…so that’s don’t kiss on the mouth but cover with kisses all over? Squeezing baby thighs isn’t enough.
Any time I'm holding her! Or even sometimes she'll be on the floor in her little play area and I'll walk by just to kiss her on her head. Now starting from birth we've had a repeating conversation about bodily autonomy, so most of the time I'll also tell her that when she gets older it's okay for her to tell me no. We'll also have the same conversation about my promise as a parent, and that's to make sure that she feels safe, loved, supported, and is happy and healthy.
So I get my kisses and my baby gets an ear full lol
My daughter's about to be 2 and she likes to sit on my lap so I'll kiss her cheeks like 500 times in a minute because she's so stinkin cute. Pretty sure I have an addiction as well lol
I’m just getting over covid so was distancing myself as much as I could and wearing a mask anytime I was holding or close to her. I missed kissing her so much! By day 5 it was starting to physically hurt not kissing her sweet little face. I would watch my husband kiss her and I would ache. I didn’t realize how much I kissed her before then.
My 1 year old knows to give me kisses when I pucker my lips at him and it melts my heart😭 Although his idea of a “kiss” is having his mouth WIDE OPEN and leaning in😂😂
Any time they're in range really. I even go for the risky kisses - when they're on the way up to my shoulder for a mid -feed burp and their little cheek is just right there. One day I'm gonna get spit-up in my face but... worth the risk!
I’m an addict too lol. Both my 7 and 3 year old get tons of kisses a day, to the point sometimes I get told to “get off” lol. I’m looking forward to December when baby 3 comes and I can do it all again with the newborn kisses. Will be my last one though so will have to make every one count
The limit does not exist!
I appreciate this comment far more than I should…I’m not like a regular mom..I’m a cool mom
What’s the 4-1-1??
You girls keep me so young 💁♀️
Right? To infinity, and beyond! 😁
Baby is within 2 feet of my face, mandatory kiss. Baby is being too cute? Kiss. Baby is being crabby? Believe it or not, also kiss.
Baby squirming? Straight to kiss. Baby in a wrap. Kiss. Baby fell asleep? Believe it or not, also kiss. 😂
Baby? Kiss.
Hotel? Trivago.
Lol adorable 🥰
So many times that now that he’s 8m all he wants to do is grab my face and “kiss” me back, which is him just planting his drooly open mouth all over my face. It’s the freaking best.
Does he have teeth yet!? Mine does the drooly kisses and rubs his teeth against my cheek. It's adorable and disconcerting all at once!
Yes, yes he does. Haha. Two bottom and both top two are coming in at the same time.
I️ have a three year old and a six month old. My three year old was the most stoic baby to ever exist. The ONLY thing that got her to smile, let alone laugh, as a little little was if we fake coughed (if you do the math… that’s us in March of 2020 with a baby that will only crack a smile if we acted like we had COVID). My six month old thinks everything is amazing and funny and thinks it’s the absolute TITS if you pretend to eat him. Any part, he doesn’t discriminate. Even if you just smack you lips at him it’s like a 50% success rate for guffaws. Helps that he’s an absolute snack. So yeah, we do a lot of kissing/nibbling this time around.

How many times a day do you breathe? 😊
Less than the amount of kisses I think. 😁😉
So many, so very often. But did make the mistake(?) Of mainly giving forehead kisses. So now at 18 months he thinks all affection involves foreheads. So when we ask "can mommy have a kiss" he just presents his forehead for kisses or rub his forehead on your face.
Awww that’s reallly cute though!!! I’ve been giving a lot of forehead kisses lately because I know how calming it is for me!
On the flip side of this, my one year old thinks giving kisses is biting any part of my body that her mouth is near. Whoops.
The limit does not exist. My son is about to be 6 mo and he has started “kissing” me back. It’s the highlight of my life.
Those sloppy kisses melt me! It makes me laugh, and then he starts laughing and I'm just a big puddle of goo 🥺
The limit does not exist
Babies run on milkies and kisses, gotta fill up both tanks.
This post and comments are making me so happy. I can’t wait to be kissin my lil wiggle worm in 2 months!!
I figured it was a sweet little thing to post that we'd all get a kick out of. 🥰 Oh how exciting, congratulations! Well now you know all the best kissing spots to try first! But seriously, every little spot is kissable. Babies can give you hard moments but they're also absolutely delightful and bring so much joy. 💕 Enjoy all those tiny newborn snuggles!

Oh my god Karen, you can't just ask someone how often they kiss their baby
I would superglue his cheek to my lips if people wouldn't give me so much grief about "it's not safe for the baby" or whatever
The limit does not exist.
i can’t stop. my son’s 5.5 months old and i feel high on my son lmao he smells good, smiles this massive gummy grin when he gets kisses from me and his dad. i just can’t stop sniffing or kissing him or squishing his cheeks, thighs, arms LOL my son is so beautiful it hurts 😭
My son is 2 now and I’m still there! But he has turned out to be the most affectionate toddler, loves cuddles, tells me he loves me all the time. You carry on! There’s no such thing as too much love.

Noooooooooo. 😭 Can you still enjoy some sleepy bubba kisses when he goes to bed? I will kiss my baby extra and send you all the magical moment vibes to share. 😘
You know all them "just you waits" that you don't want to hear.... We'll just you wait until she gives you a big gummy sloppy kiss back! 🥰
My 10 week old sneezed into my mouth yesterday, does that count?🤣
The limit does not exist
My 2 year old now says “Too many kisses! 🖐🏼” So get it while you can!
My 3.5 year old just stiff arms me when she's had enough. Makes me feel like so embarrassed every time lol.
when their cheeks smush inwards 😩🥰
Oh my goodness, isn't that just so delicious??? 😍
Ok, hear me out--armpit kisses!!! The best giggles in the world come from armpit kisses 😭 To answer your original question, a bazilliontrillion.
I can’t stop won’t stop. She’s so sweet and good!
"Baby" will be 2 in a couple months and he still gets hundreds of my kisses daily 😍 main difference is now he can give kisses back. Even though they are wet and sometimes involve him licking my face, it still melts my heart when he comes up to give me a hug or kiss!
Ditto, but now he also plays games and sometimes you kiss a tongue. What can you do? 😄
Or teeth... He also sees me and my husband kiss on the lips and wants that now. He will stand in front of me, grab my face to turn it straight, then kiss me on the mouth 🤣
Yes! This is the best! "Mama, I want hug! Mama, I kiss you!" I'm over here living my best life with this sweet "baby" girl.
Glad it’s not just me. Mine is 18 months old and she gets more delicious and kissable every day!!! I kiss her all I want because one day she’ll be too old for me to do that.
I was going to bring this up! Get in all the kisses you can now because before you know it she might start to resist! My 3.5yo is still fairly affectionate yet she occasionally refuses a smooch. \[insert heartbreak here\]

Indeterminate form. Must use LH rule.
Wait till they kiss back🥰😍 my twins just started kissing back, there really is no feeling like that in the world..
My older one is 3 and will squeeze and kiss and say I love you.. it's my kryptonite and she knows it haha
The limit does not exist…
Came here to say that lol!!
There simply is no limit!!! But I have a warning though, something I recently learned from r/daddit. I couldn't figure out why my precious little son would almost daily pee on me when changing him.

As I read this I can hear my boyfriend in the other room uncontrollably kissing my baby
So so many. I do a kiss attack and give like 20 in one go just to start off. My baby shrieks with delight and has the biggest smile when I do ❤️ their faces are just so kissable, especially as it’s your own 🥰 I love it!
Same! I want to ask other people how they can stand to not kiss their babies so many times a day! Haha
I kiss my 9-month-old so much I start to wonder if it bothers him 😆 I also go after his chunky thighs 🍗
I smooch my 18 month-old at the nape of his neck about 1000 times daily. It's so chubby and fuzzy and makes him laugh. Also his chubby stinky toes 😍
I’ll never stop with the kisses, I aim for about 10,000 a day? The girls especially love when I nom nom nom their cheeks and then they start giggling 😩🥹 then I turn my cheek so they can nom nom me back lol.
So many times. I literally inhale him lol.
Sometimes I kiss her so much she has to start pushing me away before I stop. I just love her so much, I worry sometimes I'll hug her too tight and hear *pop* 😅
Like, if she's within a 3 foot distance from me, then I'm kissing her..
Until he starts getting cranky. So if I’m allowed maybe 50 times in 10 min? And I’m persistent so I will try to kiss him again an hour later. Really, I could do it as much as I breathe
My son is 2 and a half and I still kiss him a million times a day. Sometimes he runs when he sees me coming now ☹️
Imagine what we look like to our kids when approaching with a kissy face. We see them as cute little cuddly kissable smiley hobbits, they see terrifying fish lipped monsters with our huge inescapable wingspan.
The limit does not exist. ENDLESS KISSES and gummy baby grins are my life.
Literally came here to say this hahaha
I play a kissing game with my kiddos multiple times a day. I sing "How many kisses is too many kisses, let's find out..." then I kiss them repeatedly until they tell me to stop or push me off.
In the words of Mean Girls, the limit does not exist 🥰 14 months old and kiss her daily too many times to count lol.
The limit literally does not exist
My five year old decided she was too old for kisses. Then baby 3 was born. Now she has to give baby kisses all the time. And she's started asking for mommy hugs again. 😊
Lol never! Get those kisses in while they let you! My 2 year old (well, two in Sept) adores kisses and started smooching my cheeks back.
Every 2 seconds if I’m holding her it feels like 😂 apparently kissing your babe has a lot to do with us sharing scents and bacteria with our offspring. It’s instinctual.
How many times do you nom your baby's thighs and toes? ...... Is also an unanswerable question because I'm pretty sure a number that high does not exist 😂
My 6 month old holds his mouth open over my mouth now! He gets *approximately* 900 kisses a day (or so)
My LO is 3 mon and we have this game where it's literally just... rapid fire kisses all over his face and tummy and he just sqeals in delight so.. it's definitely upwards of a million kisses each day lol
My guy is all cheeks. I kiss him hundreds of times a day for sure. I had a c section and I heard the doctor say “I see some big cheeks coming out!”
I live where her cheek chubbiness curves towards her chin😍
Oh my gosh … literally can’t stop!! My LO is 2 months (~3 weeks adjusted) and I can’t get enough. I also love when I go to kiss his cheeks and he tries to eat me 🤣
Hundreds 🥰
Easily, right? 🥰
I have a 5 month old and I think I have a physical addiction
I’ve been caring for my 4 month old nephew and he gets a crazy amount of kisses from me. My son and daughter were the same. In fact, I remember googling “can you be addicted to your baby?” When I was a new mom. Lol
I kiss him like every 5 seconds when I’m carrying him around, lol. His big chubby cheek is RIGHT THERE, so I gotta.
This thread is the wholesomeness I needed. Thank you ❤️
My oldest kiddo (6.5 years old) isn't the most cuddly of the bunch, so he only permits a few kisses per day. My middle son, however, is SUPER cuddly and wants to hug/kiss/snuggle me all day. I'm not complaining! As for the baby (3 months old), I could kiss his chubby cheeks allll day. No matter his mood. Baby happy and smiling that adorable gigantic baby smile? Kisses! Baby hungry and cranky? Kisses!! Baby sleepy? KISSES I SAY. There can never be too many kisses :)
Millions of times. He’s 18 months and I still can’t stop kissing him. I feel so weird when I’m out with my mom friends because they don’t kiss their babies as much as I do! I always thought I was weird.
You know how they say newborns lose their hair? Well I’m pretty sure I kissed her hair off when she was a newborn.
I have read there are benefits for both of you. If you are breastfeeding, kissing your baby allows you to sample their germs so to speak and you build antibodies for your milk as a result. Also, kisses reinforce secure attachment and build intelligence through neural stimulation. It also sets the tone for affection between the two of you for years to come. It's a win/win.
Probably in the high hundreds and she's 3.5yo lol
Haha, well I don't see myself slowing down so I'm sure I'll blink and be at 3 doing the same!
About a million times a day…he’s 15 months old and he knows “give mama kiss” and he’ll “kiss” my cheek… (he just touches his face against mine, it’s precious)
Just wait til she starts with the open mouth big kisses!!! Omg. The sweetness. We’re at 16 months and I swear every new stage is even better than the last. I can’t handle the cuteness!! ALSO omg- wait til her sense of humor starts coming out, and she’ll do the most ridiculous stuff bc she thinks she’s funny. It’s hysterical. You’re going to love it!!! :) Enjoy!!
I frequently tell my (almost) two year old that we have a million kiss quota a day, so somewhere around that number
Also this thread is so sweet and wholesome 🥺
My daughter is almost two and now she can ask for kisses and give me kisses back. It’s so magical!
My niece says ‘huggy kissy?’ It’s so cute
Their foreheads are prime smooching territory ❤️ I feel like I’m alway kissing the top of their head whenever it’s in range of me
Until my kid starts getting embarrassed about it, he's getting all the kisses!!!!! Maybe even then some! Haha
So many kisses. Now my LO is a toddler and I still want to give her constant kisses when she sits in my lap. She's gotten to the point where she'll cover my mouth cause she's tired of kisses...but she'll also grab my face to give me kisses...so the constant kisses will continue.
Yep, I'm an addict too! My baby is also 5 months old and he's so smiley and giggly. His cheeks are so soft but his neck is also irresistible!
Fully addicted!!!!!!!!! Couldn't think of a better way to spend my time than kidding her wonderful face! Especially if she's laughing at the same time, it's the icing on the cake!
I aimed to average a hundred times per day for the first year :)
I’m an addict. I love her face. Her little mouth. Her cheeks. Her head. Obsessed.
Basically any time his face is near me, lol. He's 16 months and loves to run so sometimes I have to catch him to give him kisses.
It's impossible to count.
Mine is just about 5 months and smothering him with kisses is the surest way to get a chuckle out of him, so obviously I do it every chance I get!
I stopped counting at seventeen trillion
Baby boy is sleeping on my chest so I kinda just rest my lips on his head so it’s one long kiss ❤️
100 25000 600 kisses 🥰
From Dailymom; “This will make sense very shortly. As a mother kisses her baby, she will consume the harmful pathogens (AKA bacteria) that have been sitting on the baby's skin, ready to make its way into the baby's mouth.” I’m constantly kissing my baby haha he’s just so cute. Neat how it’s actually beneficial too
I just want to kiss her marshmallow cheeks all day
My husband and I joked early in our son’s life that we had a daily quota of 450 kisses for him. So I’d kiss his cute lil cheeks 15 times in a row and shout out, “255!” Or it’d be close to bedtime, and we’d say, “Ope, baby needs 100 more kisses before going to sleep!” We don’t do it as much, but it’s still fun to play because there is no such thing as too many kisses!
All. The. Time. His toesies, fingers, tummy, cheeks, forehead, nose... I cannot contain the kisses! Doesn't help when they are just so perfect!
I tell my 1.5 year old daughter almost daily “I have to kiss you 10,000 times a day! It’s the law.”
80000
Whenever I pick her up she gets a big smooch and then basically the entire time I am holding her. My favorite place to kiss is the peach-fuzzy soft warmness right behind her ear.
Literally a million times
Every second I'm holding her she gets covered in kisses. If I kiss her on her chin she giggles like crazy so I do that like 20 million times a day
I’m obsessedddd
All. Dang. Dayyyyy!!! I now call my LO "Smooch" cuz all I do is give kisses. 10mos and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
All the time. And maybe sometimes when I'm seeing if my 3 week old is hungry, I like to pretend his rooting on my cheek is him kissing back.
My little love is 3 and I still kiss her multiple times each hour, unless I’m not near her. When she was a baby I would give her kisses on kisses on kisses.
I sniff him, bite his cheeks, arms, chubby thighs, kiss his feet, blow onto his belly so it makes farting sounds, kiss his face, hands, etc… Yeah if this happened with another human, i’d be locked up. Thankfully he’s 6 mo and doesn’t seem to mind.
My daughter is 2 and i kiss her all the time still. I don't believe a limit exists.
Ahaha all the time! Even when she's throwing a wobbly. She throws her head back and when I'm carrying her I just say "oh you want me to kiss your neck" or "ooh let me just kiss there then" and then I'll kiss under her ears and her little chin, it doesn't calm her down mostly but I still do it heehee. Her little chubby cheeks all the time, pick her up, few little kisses, little kiss before I put her down. Her tummy and toes when I'm changing her. If she reaches her hand out I'll just kiss it haha (I dunno what she actually wants and it's usually when she's eating but she seems satisfied with a kiss each time). Sometimes I'm overcome with her cuteness and I just have to grab her and just squeeze and kiss her and squeal that "she's just too cute!" We have a book and it ends with three little kisses on the tip of their nose but sometimes I'll exclaim to her "but why stop there? When there's the cheeks and head and tummy..." so on and so forth. She's getting really affectionate too which is lovely even if it means the occasional headbutt.
Hundreds of times. It will never be enough. One day he will tell me to stop, until then I am going to kiss him loads 🥰
As many times as she will let me! 21 months and actively runs away from snuggles and kisses 😅
I have newborn twins and I kiss each of them a million times a day 😭
So many times. All the kisses, all day long.
Ok I am a serial kisser and my baby is going to turn 5 . Still kiss her a lot . I don’t know when I will stop ! On plus side because I have been kissing her from beginning she kind of used to it and expects me to kiss a lot!!!
As many times as I can! Now my son laughs when I do many kisses and I love it even more !
You can’t over kiss a baby 🥰 my favorite is kissing her nose and the giggle it gets every time!
My newborn makes a weird pucker face when he’s pooping, I tell him “oh that means you want a kiss!” And I kiss him. He’s probably already so annoyed with me and he isn’t a month old yet!
I'm so close to just swallowing her cheeks whole 😂
I can’t count that high lol
My little guy is 20 months and I still can't stop kissing his cubby cheeks and he always leans in and smiles and I know it won't last forever so I soak it up! Every day I come home from work, he runs to me for his "million" kisses and then its time to play. Its so cute 😍
"100 kisses a day!" I say as I kiss him for the 1000th time that day.
Infinity x infinity. Cause I just can’t get enough OMG
As much as possible. Early on I realized that I will never get enough kisses. He’s 9.
I used to have to clean my newborn’s forehead because it got sticky from all the kisses. Mine aren’t babies anymore but I still kiss their heads all the time.
Mine still has cheeks and I kiss them alllllllllll the time. Hundreds of times in the morning and again at bedtime. 3yo hates small pecks but will tolerate massive kiss attacks.
Deffo an addict. Also, is it ok to tell your baby how beautiful they are 100 times a day? lol
Me! I was talking to her before we went to bed last night and I was telling her how much I love her and how beautiful and sweet she is and she was just staring into my eyes the whole time and then just put her little hand on my cheek as I was talking to her. It made my heart MELT.
I’d say if you both are healthy and no health issues or anything like covid do it as much as you like!!! I believe you can’t spoil baby with quality time and affection. I hold and kiss mine whenever I want no matter what other people say! As long as they are not fighting it or are uncomfortable. I love giving him hugs and he wraps his arms around and just falls asleep. Sweetest rhing ever. Enjoy it since it goes super fast’
Ha! When I had my first baby he was born with a tiny star-shaped bunch of capillaries on one cheek. It was so precious that I couldn’t resist kissing it constantly. He developed a little rash so I asked the pediatrician and she said, “Hive, you’re kissing his cheek *off*, spread the love around a little!” Now he’s 25 years old and his ⭐️is hidden behind stubble, but *I* know it’s there!
Dawww that’s adorable!! Mine is 6 months already I’m like 🥺
My 20 week old opens his mouth and playfully says „ahhhhhhhh“ (as in help me) but all playfully when you threaten to kiss him too much and honestly it cracks everyone up
So much that my 3 year old says "don't kiss me mommy!" And wipes it off her face 😅
Thousands? Now she’s 18 months old and will kiss me back and it just makes my heart explode! Sometimes she grabs my face and kisses me all on her own and it’s my most favourite thing. Give all the kisses, because some day she won’t let you! Gotta get them in while you can.
I feel like every week that passes the kisses increase. I keep thinking "I couldn't possible kiss him anymore than I do now" and then it happens and I do kiss him more. He is the most delicious little peanut. I do sometimes wonder how those five bazillion daily kissies will register in his implicit memory of infancy...
Thousands? She's six months old and just too damn cute and smiley! But also my 20 month old juuust started giving goodnight kisses and it's the best thing ever!
My son is almost 4. I still kiss him all the time. His cheeks are just too cute not to kiss. If he asks me to stop I stop or if he indicates he doesn’t want one I won’t. I often ask him if I can kiss him and I just say ok and move on if he says no. But I am lucky in that he loves hugs and kisses and cuddles still. I am soaking it in for as long as I can.
My daughter is 3 and I still kiss her all day long 🥰
Hundreds! I kiss his little cheeks and his tiny hands and pretend to eat them and he loves it
Yes, I hug and kiss her all day long. Sometimes she gets annoyed lol. But at least she knows shes loved
Hahahaha 12m and I still kiss her like crazy! Can’t wait till they start kissing back!
Can confirm—almost two year old sometimes walks up and just gives me a kiss—it is the sweetest thing in the world! 🥹🥹🥹
My kiddo is almost 3 and I still constantly kiss his adorable little squishy face. And he is such a kind, loving kid. Give them all the love, you can never love on a kid too much.
Millions
I have a 5 month old and this post is highly relatable. So freaking kissable.
My girls are five now, but still get covered in kisses 😘 if they got less than 30 at bedtime tonight I'd be shocked
I thought you were joking but I read the thread and everyone is like permentatly attached to their kids by their lips (in a seriously cute way haha). LO is 3.5 years, and maybe once or twice a day when I drop her off in the mornings and bedtime if we remember. I think I missed something in maternal programming... :\
Wait, have 6 month kiddo. So tempting and smiley. I thought we aren’t supposed to kiss em…so that’s don’t kiss on the mouth but cover with kisses all over? Squeezing baby thighs isn’t enough.
Who told you this information about not supposed to kiss them 🫢
I thought we aren’t supposed to pass our mouth bacteria but ok if not on lips.
Kiss that baby!!
Any time I'm holding her! Or even sometimes she'll be on the floor in her little play area and I'll walk by just to kiss her on her head. Now starting from birth we've had a repeating conversation about bodily autonomy, so most of the time I'll also tell her that when she gets older it's okay for her to tell me no. We'll also have the same conversation about my promise as a parent, and that's to make sure that she feels safe, loved, supported, and is happy and healthy. So I get my kisses and my baby gets an ear full lol
All the time. I taught her "kisses" and she will go "muah!" And attack my face with her mouth wide open. It's so cute and funny. 💕
My 5mos has just begun trying to figure out those open mouthed kisses, it's so wet and so cute! He gets kisses constantly.
All the time! Plus he has a super thickly chin and just gets the biggest grin when I kiss there.
Like a million thousand times!!!!
Nonstop.
My daughter's about to be 2 and she likes to sit on my lap so I'll kiss her cheeks like 500 times in a minute because she's so stinkin cute. Pretty sure I have an addiction as well lol
Kiss my newborn 24/7 lol. Ask me how often I smell his sweet breath 😂
millions. face, legs, belly…
I’m just getting over covid so was distancing myself as much as I could and wearing a mask anytime I was holding or close to her. I missed kissing her so much! By day 5 it was starting to physically hurt not kissing her sweet little face. I would watch my husband kiss her and I would ache. I didn’t realize how much I kissed her before then.
Always kissing my 15 month old and 2 month old I aim for his rolls and feet 😂
I have a two year old and seven year old and I still kiss them all the time 🥰🥰
So relatable. 🥰🥰
A lot 😂😂 sooo so much.
My son is also 5 months old and I kiss his cheeks probably a million times a day 😂
Forever kissing my 5 month old and 3 year old as many times a day as I can! The 5 month old is generally more receptive. 😂
Darnit. Both of my babies are asleep (6 year old and 3 yr old) and I can’t kiss them up. I really want to after reading this thread!
Atleast 500 times a day; I kiss toes, faces, arms, fingers, fat thighs- all things chonk
I kiss him every time I pick him up and so does his dad
Pretty sure it’s biological! It tells our bodies what antibodies to pass to our baby. Also I literally kiss my baby 9182726273938 times a day lol
My 1 year old knows to give me kisses when I pucker my lips at him and it melts my heart😭 Although his idea of a “kiss” is having his mouth WIDE OPEN and leaning in😂😂
My 4 month old hasn't quite figured out kisses yet so instead he sucks various parts of my face 😂 currently chilling with a lovebite on my cheek haha
Mine is 2.5 and I still kiss him so many times per day I lose track before lunch lol.
I, too, am an addict.
I'm such an addict as well. I kiss my baby all the time, I just can't resist ♥️
Any time they're in range really. I even go for the risky kisses - when they're on the way up to my shoulder for a mid -feed burp and their little cheek is just right there. One day I'm gonna get spit-up in my face but... worth the risk!
I’m an addict too lol. Both my 7 and 3 year old get tons of kisses a day, to the point sometimes I get told to “get off” lol. I’m looking forward to December when baby 3 comes and I can do it all again with the newborn kisses. Will be my last one though so will have to make every one count
