Kissing baby/OH family

Why do people think they’re so entitled to kissing your baby!! And if they get cold sores too, why would they want to risk baby getting it! Well done you though for putting your foot down, because that’s so hard!

honestly I am having such a hard time understanding why everyone feels the need to kiss my baby! I wouldn’t dream of picking someone’s baby up and even asking to kiss them never mind actually doing it without permission

The herpes virus is really risky for little ones and if they can't understand that they are putting your baby at risk by kissing her then I'd be locking my door and refusing them access until she's had her jabs. If they don't respect your decisions then sorry but then they don't get to see the baby. I know it's hard but you've got to try and put your foot down on this one

I have stopped his dad seeing her unfortunately especially after telling me he’s going to get her taken away from me for protecting her his mums next if she doesn’t start listening even after her jabs I don’t want anyone kissing her

@Lauren I'm sorry to hear you're not being respected, I hope you're getting support from tour family. Remember to reach out to your health visitor if you are struggling at all

Absolutely not, this would infuriate me! They should know better, it can be fatal for a baby to catch things that wouldn’t be so severe to us.
Also if your breastfeeding you kiss away, it actually protects your baby and helps their immune system if you do rather than harm them - unless you’re unwell then obviously avoid

Tell them you’re happy that other child is fav grandson for them lol 😂 and u won’t be bothered anyway. Seriously they shouldn’t kiss anyone whether baby is newborn or two years ! They sound very ignorant, entitled, immature !

Your baby isn’t even immune , what if your baby gets sick… you’re the one who will have to deal with the pain. They won’t be helpful I bet, be blunt . Don’t give in to such entitled ppl !

You guys are the parent, they’re not ! How stupid prick like attitude they have.

Only me n my husband are allowed to kiss our babies. In fact we don’t even kiss them too much if my toddler says no ! My newborn so far hasn’t met much ppl. I’ve said in hesitant tone but I told no kissing to newborn or even wear perfume to whoever has visited us, don’t care what they have to think. So far we’ve been respected

yes my family are so understanding and even asked me before I give birth any rules we had for when she is born so they do not cross any lines and have never slipped up or broken any rules or boundaries!!

I formula feed, myself and her dad both kiss her on the back of the head and even that is rare x

Thank you!!! I have now since posting this told them both they are no longer allowed to see her unless the can respect both myself and my partners rules!! You don’t get to my baby through disrespecting the parent

I've been in a similar situation. After telling them 4 TIMES they have limited contact now. I've made my thoughts known 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve also resorted to the same. My stomach turns now at the thought of seeing them just for this very issue. The fact they need constant reminding is draining. Don’t understand why it’s so difficult to show love to a baby without kissing him/her. Love would be better shown by thinking of the bigger picture and not putting baby at risk. Older generation is something else and I’m tired of dealing with them!

@Nabs literally in the same position it gives me so much anxiety but it's also causing a bit of conflict in my relationship with my partner so I'm really trying!! 🤣 x

This is actually a better video. I’ve just forwarded it on to my whole family x https://youtu.be/FurU1wJHKgk?si=KoMxQlJWao1YoMz1
