hm...i find people here are less inclined to touch a strangers baby
but in HK......WAH. EVERYONE was touching my baby. Especially on the MTR, everyone sitting around us would touch his arm, hand, face, legs..etc etc

and on the street too..my husband was carrying him on the baby carrier and middle-aged ladies would run over to touch his arms/legs/face...etc

but..actually we're quite OKAY with it...haha..we figured this is the only time in his life in which he will be touched by so many women and of all ages too..haha...
my dad says my son has touched (and been touched) by more women in one day than in my dad's entire life..hahaha

i find that people here will make funny faces, try to make the baby smile..whereas in HK, the ladies will rush over, grab my baby and try to touch him

also my baby here is very popular with 茶餐廳姐姐..he will actually WANT them to pick him up and carry him around...

also, there was a study on parents who have used those alcohol hand santizers...try not to use them around babies/infants because they might actually do more harm than help prevent germs! I think one kid was using too much of it (kids parents made it a habit) that the kid got alcohol poisioning..
