Family kissing baby *only* a few times on face.

@Maggie exactly what I was going to say - just "Their doctor said you shouldn't" and let them gripe about the doctor.
One two kisses isn’t an issue it’s just I don’t want them doing it for a long time
Better to just say no, or tell them only the top of the head not on his actual face.
@Audrey okay thank you! I understand!
Don’t be polite. Tell them to stop or else they won’t get the opportunity to hold baby again. One or two absolutely CAN be an issue, it only takes one to pass something deadly to your baby.
With my first I did a warning and if they did it again I took my son. As a first time and even this time around my mama heart can’t risk them getting sick and I could’ve prevented it this time around I’m like a Pitt bull as my 2nd has health issues already🧡
Just say no skin to skin except for parents plz
You can always put a sign next to baby where it says to wash hands, etc and also “do not kiss baby” if you don’t feel comfortable to tell them, or you can always say something too. It’s your baby, your rules mama. I have 3 children and I myself told them to kiss baby only in head and touch his feet’s or legs, until he’s a bit bigger 😌 baby safety first
Similar thing happened to me - just blame it all on the doctors if you have to. “The pediatrician says everyone should wash their hands first and absolutely no kissing because they have no immune system” or something similar. That way if they go against your wishes, they’re going against the doctor’s wishes and you have your reason to remind them.
