At what age is it safe/okay for others to kiss baby?

Not overreacting at all! Have them google RSV and then see if they still think you’re overreacting, I have the same rules and will have these rules until baby is at least 1 (she’s currently 2 months) but even when she’s 1 I don’t think I’m going to feel comfortable with it, alls you are doing is trying to protect your baby they have to respect that ☺️

Uh never.

Not overreacting at all! You don't know where people's mouths have been or the germs they carry . They can kiss her when she can speak and give consent 🤣 but seriously I never understood folks I obsession with wanting to kiss other people's children . Make them understand that if anyone kisses your child other than you or you're husband and something happens to her that they need to be prepared for your wrath and sense no one wants you locked up just leave it be lol at least that's my approach

I’m in the SAME boat! And what’s worse- they wait for me to leave the room and do whatever they want. They’re undereducated and a little ignorant. (Not your in laws. Mine) sorry it’s a sensitive subject for me because YES there is evidence that that’s not good for a baby!

I’ve always let other people kiss my baby. I understand your point of view, but I just wanted to comment to put out there that is an opposite point of view. My baby is at daycare and we’ve had every sickness under the sun (including RSV at 2 months that he cause from tm husband). A little kissing from friends and relatives who I trust isn’t going to make a big difference. I just keep reminding myself his immune system is being made stronger.

I respect your stance but please look up babies who contracted herpes through people kissing them .as much as we want to trust everyone and hope that everyone we love will be honest ,that's not always the case . ❤️

i think it’s less about illness spread from respiratory virus and more about illness spread by contact and sharing saliva like herpes simplex! We also have our babe in daycare and he’s getting all the respiratory illness which yes will build his immune system but things like herpes can be avoided!

(We do let grammie give kisses though 🥴… hard not to)

I just trust the judgement of the people I’m around that they don’t have active cold sores.

I only commented to give a differing point of view. This app can really be an echo chamber, and I wanted to answer the original posters question.

offering an opposing view is completely fine but you should give the OP the true risks so they can weigh the risks vs benefits for themselves before making a decision one way or another and i think just bringing up respiratory viruses only was a little misleading, that’s all

Like i said I’ve weighed risks and grammie still gives kisses, I’m not disagreeing with you at all just want the original poster to be informed

I agree with other people not kissing til the child can give consent, the exception are myself/dad/ grandparents/aunts/uncles.
She does go to daycare and had RSV at 3 months and the daycare special.
I do have this rule, more so at church, that people have to ask before holding or touching her. There are a couple of ladies who go on a rampage every time they see her. It drives me bonkers.
You have every right to set your own boundaries, and people should respect them.

Let’s just say hypothetically for one moment that you really were overreacting….. so what?! You have the right and responsibility to do what you feel is best for your baby. People don’t have to like it but they have to respect it. My babies got RSV at the same time; my daughter was 3 months and her brother was 13 months(he needed nebulizer treatments because he started wheezing) and I never suffered so much. The only one up all night with the nose Frida and crying babies was me. after that, I set up a sanitation station next to the sink and insisted everyone sanitize after washing their hands just to see my babies. I also stopped giving a f**** who thought I was being extra when it comes to doing what I know is best for my babies. If they love them they will comply

One year for health reasons but honestly I don’t want anyone kissing my baby ever. I find it fundamentally strange to want to kiss someone else’s baby.

I don’t mind fam kissing my son personally, its preference
