Kisses from aunts and uncles

Where does everyone stand with there babies getting kisses from people other than mum and dad? Just curious to know. My LO is 3 month and it’s just all the germs/ makeup and lipstick from other people that concerns me.

I don't mind. But the family is respectful and doesn't shove their faces into the wee one

I tried from the beginning to lay boundaries with my husband but I’m from an ethnic background so boundaries are almost impossible - my mum and dad can come up with cold sores sometimes and I’m terribly scared cos they both kiss him without restriction and my sister has coined herself his second mum so I’m really stuck! If you are able to set boundaries please do, my LO is 3 months and he’s already had two colds - one spread from his aunty and he’s been suffering with a blocked nose ever since

nobody kisses our little boy except me and my husband. forever. well until he’s a teenager and kissing who he likes 🤣 there’s no reason for family/friends to kiss our baby. we don’t kiss him on the face either only side and top of head. I personally find it beyond weird people even care to kiss a baby that’s not their own, and it’s also not ever worth the risk for illness 🤷🏻‍♀️

Never let anyone kiss him! Even me and my partner don’t kiss him properly yet until he’s fully vaccinated! I’m too scared! We’ve already had one hospital trip with bronchitis xxx

Only we kiss our little one. It’s hard for in-laws but I’d rather be safe
