do you ever find yourself...

...rocking even when not holding the baby?

  • Oh yes. Especially when I hear another baby crying.
  • Yup. I've rocked since I was pregnant. It eased my knees then, my baby now and me whenever. It's become a habit. I like it :)
  • YES! I had to take my dog to the vet the other day because she sprained her paw. I had to cradle her, and I was instinctively rocking her. Lol

  • Yesterday DH picked me up and was holding me in his arms honeymoon style and without realizing was bouncing the way he would while holding DD.

    Ha, yes! And since we take his stroller out so much, even if I'm just pushing a shopping cart and he's not in it, I'm keeping it moving constantly, pushing it back and forth even when I'm standing still.
    This is totally me. People probably think I am nuts at the store.

  • I'm a grocery cart mover too. I constantly move it just like A's stroller.

  • Yes! All the time in front of my second graders! One of my coworkers who has a son who must be in his 30's said she sometimes still finds herself rocking or bouncing when she does her hair in the morning!
  • Constantly. It drives my future MIL crazy, she starts doing it too and gets all nervous and fidgity.

    The best is that my fiance is a welder and works in a shop with a bunch of manly dudes. They all rip on him because he stands there and sways or bounces whenever one of the guys comes to talk to him about a job, haha
  • A friend of mine calls it new mom syndrome. I sway, bounce and/or push the cart back and forth when I'm alone. She saw it the other days and cracked up.

  • Yes! My friend brought by a box of meat for us (random) and I was holding the box and talking to her for a bit and she asked me if I realized I was bouncing the box of meat.. And since then I pretty much notice it ALL the time.

  • Not so much rocking but I spend so much time with just my little girl that I keep calling adults Pooh Bear and Punkin lol.
  • hahaha to all of this. I definitely am a grocery cart rocker. I also catch myself saying "Hi!" in a really excited way and making stupid faces at people like I do to make LO smile.
  • Story of my life.  Always rocking and bouncing around.  People definitely think I'm crazy!

    Me too! I've seen other women doing this too. I just figure that they have a little one at home too.
