Alan,
One current president was all over in the media after kissing 5-year-old
boy's belly.
And some other president ... Well, I digress.
Unfortunately, not all presidents can be examples of good manners.
Actually, when our daugher was in a baby carrier and we went to a
public event where several people were trying to stick their hands into
the baby carrier (and we knew some of those people), - my wife started
politely offering them a hand sanitizer. That made them pausing and
thinking about what they were doing.
I understand that there are cultural differences. There are some cultures
(I believe some latin american cultures are like that, and it is the case
in some part of the US South) where touching a baby is common. But for
some people it was obviously just a thoughtless motion, and once they had
to think about it, some of the realized that it might not be appropriate.
Cheers,
Igor

I was appalled how many complete strangers have been trying to touch
(I am ready to say "pet") our daughter's head, from just when she was born
and until 2-3 y.o.
We became "proficient" in catching and deflecting people's hands in the air.
