I remember reading about this in 19th century literature. I wish I could remember which book it was. I think it was Charles Dickens? Anyway, the main character is a politician who refuses to kiss the babies. After being spoken to by his campaign manager, who tries to persuade him to kiss one or two, he goes back out and kisses all of the babies. -- New Thought ( talk) 08:43, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Examples provided are mostly American, but it is a worldwide phenomenon. Even Stalin and Hitler held children for photoshoots.-- MacRusgail ( talk) 17:00, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn. On second thought, the current title is alright. Marsbar8 ( talk) 10:57, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
Baby kissing → handshaking and baby kissing – Handshaking is included. Politicians are known for shaking hands and kissing babies. Nothing is currently written in the article about the handshakes, but that is because the present title doesn't allow it to be discussed. Marsbar8 ( talk) 01:52, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
