Is it normal to not want to hold a baby?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s completely normal not to want to hold a baby. You might feel nervous, uncomfortable, or simply not interested—and you don’t owe anyone a cuddle.
Babies can feel fragile, and plenty of people worry they’ll hold one awkwardly or make it cry. Others just aren’t comfortable with babies or don’t enjoy holding them. None of that means you’re cold or that you’ll feel the same way if you have a baby of your own someday.
Some people love passing a baby around; others would rather admire the little one from a safe distance. If someone offers, a simple “No thanks, I’m happy just looking” is enough. Your arms, your call.
