Touching other people's babies

A young colleague of mine with a 10 month old son was complaining recently because her mum's neighbour kept stroking the baby's cheek when she called in to visit.

I've also seen a lot of complaints on line about people touching other people's babies, holding their hands etc and it sounds very strange to me.

It was quite the norm when I was growing up and a young adult for people to be tactile around babies and young children.

When did this become taboo?
