After the first kick, did the parent apologize or adjust their baby’s position? After repeated kicking “this has to stop” sounds very acceptable to me. And I LOVE MY BABY. Actually only once did we do lap child and even then we were mindful of our baby’s movements. Quickly apologized when our baby kicked the neighbor’s chair. Apologies do help… thankfully that was the only incident and Ryan wasn’t too upset with our baby kicking the chair.
