Help! Someone kissed my baby
My baby is just over 7 weeks and my aunt came to visit today. She all of a sudden kissed my baby on her head when I wasn’t looking. I said to her no kisses and didn’t let her hold my baby for the rest of the visit. I wiped her with sanitising water straight away. But I am so paranoid that she is going to get sick. Shall I make an appointment to see the gp?

There is nothing the GP can do especially since you don't know whether baby will get sick or not.. is there any reason why you would think your aunt is sick? I would try not to worry too much :)
The likelihood is your baby will be fine!!
Have you got a thermometer? I have a digital one from Amazon which goes under the armpit and every other day when I’m getting him dressed I just check it and it tells me temp and flashes green if in a healthy range.
You could keep an eye on her with that and then just watch her for things like: going off food, being more tired/lethargic and feeling floppier before ringing dr. GP can’t do anything unless baby is actually presenting as ill
Aw to be honest, in the first few days I was worried about this but I’m not anymore. My baby has been kissed by all my siblings and it’s been fine. But I don’t allow people to kiss her lips. I saw my FIL do that and I got quite upset
Thank you all, I feel much better. I felt so guilty and I just wanted to punch my aunt in the face
