Thoughts on my newborn rules?

See photo. Just wondering if anyone has thoughts about this. My entire family is eye rolling & objecting and complaining and to me it’s simple, follow the rules I have set for my baby’s safety or don’t touch my baby 🤷🏽‍♀️

No one is entitled to YOUR baby, they can roll their eyes all they want but if they really care about the babies safety….they’ll respect the rules 🤷‍♀️ simple!

Love the diaper part!

I think all of it is super reasonable and super common.. so I’m not sure why the eye rolls! Most of it’s common and really not asking for too much.

I would do the CPR part for after baby eats real food personally!

I like these rules tho!! I might steal this 😂🙌

the way my entire family feels ENTITLED is driving me insane rn! They lost their minds when I said I don’t wanna see anyone for 4 weeks. I live in a diff state than my whole family so a “visit” from them constitutes a multi day stay at my house and not a 1 hour visit where they can go back home when I need space.

I don’t want anyone around my baby for 2 months or more except my mom boyfriend and dr

This is really considerate on your part, their reactions show exactly why u felt the need to make this in the first place imo 😑😂😂

I love and agree with all these rules, except maybe the cpr part, but that too is reasonable.
It's your baby so you need to be comfortable with how things are handled when it comes to them

Ps how are you getting this handout to ppl?

This is literally common sense. For babys safety. That respiratory illness is killing alot of kids and babies so ppl are going to have to suck it up because newborn immune systems are so weak. Also covid is rising, and its not being reported on. My mom works at a major hospital here in nyc and they see so many patients die of complications weekly and they’re unusually young.

They can complain all they want lol, but momma bear rules wont budge! 😉

This is the most perfect thing.!!! Boundaries are set so no fighting needs to occur later.! Especially in front of the baby.!

I lovee this!! Esp since it’s coming from baby’s perspective. I was hoping for better reactions since it was presented so well but okaay let them hate. I’m glad you’re standing your ground esp during that time 💗☺️

Did you just send this to them or like go over it?

Avatar

made it on Canva and sent out via text so they can sign with markup and send back to me. the old schoolers will get a hard copy

Avatar

sent it in text for them to sign and send back. That way if I catch you kissing my baby after you signed knowing the consequences I don’t have to explain myself when you’re not allowed around my baby anymore lol!

Avatar

having them sign it sounds a bit aggressive but you do you lol ps I love canva

Avatar

the cpr part is really for babysitting reasons if they want to keep the baby when I’m not around. As a first responder I’m too familiar with tragic incidents that could’ve been prevented had people known cpr/first aid. 😢😢 All childcare professionals are held to this standard so it makes me more comfortable to leave my child with someone safe

Avatar

girl that would drive me insane!! Not only the entitlement, but they clearly don’t care if they are putting a mother who just delivered a baby into a uncomfortable environment. Putting their ‘needs’ above a newborn and mother!! Where you are expected to ‘share’ the baby and host people at your home for several days when this is suppose to be an intimate time connecting with your child or just keeping them safe. Stand your ground mama!!! They can get over themselves and see the baby when mama says so!!!

plus!! I wouldn’t want my baby around someone who has been TRAVELING! Hell no

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
