Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask how other mums are coping with all the meningitis concerns going around. I have a 3-month-old baby, and honestly, I feel really overwhelmed and scared to even go out with him at the moment.
I also feel like people don’t respect my boundaries. Friends and family sometimes kiss my baby without asking, and it makes me really uncomfortable. I’m not a hypochondriac, but having a newborn in winter is making me feel quite anxious and protective.
My husband doesn’t seem to share the same level of concern, and sometimes I feel like I’m being dismissed or not taken seriously.
Am I being unreasonable for not wanting people to kiss my baby and for expecting them to wash their hands before holding him?
I’d really appreciate hearing how you all handle this ❤️
