What "rules" did/does everyone have in place for when baby arrives?

What "rules", if any, do you all have regarding family visiting and posting pictures of baby on social media? Me and my partner won't be posting our baby for the first month (will be informing family the same) or having any visitors unless it's very close family. Also absolutely no one kisses baby unless its me and my partner. I'm worried about bringing this up to my family tho as they're so stubborn and quite selfish so don't know how theyll react. Also want to know what you all think on these "rules"

I’m not having my baby posted on social media so I have downloaded the family album app. Their scan photos have not been online either. Unsure about visitors my mum is very much like I’m coming to the hospital I don’t really want her there but it’s her first grandchild so it’s something I might have to concede on

Only rules I will have is washing hands before touching baby, no kissing and don’t come around if sick or been in close contact with someone who is sick. A new baby is exciting for family and the more family she has around to spoil her and help out, happier it makes me.

No rules planned.. just excited for them all to visit and meet him and hold him 🥰 (but then they’ve all been really sweet and respectful so far and my family are flying out from Canada so it might be different). Plus I’m the social media one so unlikely they’ll manage to post before me..

Just no visitors for the first week mainly because we have two dogs and we want to settle in and get them used to the baby. I’m not fussed about pictures on social once I’ve announced her arrival. I don’t think my friends or family will kiss the baby personally and we only have my mum and dad close. We said we aren’t kissing baby on lips full stop. And I’ve even said to my partner to sanitise hands when holding her even ourselves so same for others

No one at the hospital, no one at home unless invited, no kissing the baby, hand washing before holding baby and no pictures on socials of her face - we’ll be doing the same and only posting little shots off her without her face being seen x
