my family acts like they have the right to hold my baby and call me selfish when he's cleanly sleepy, and I respect his sleep schedule, I'm so over it.

They can help you out through out the night , this way you won’t be so “selfish”. It’s ok my in laws complain that my 6 month old either doesn’t sleep enough or long enough and at the same time takes naps . Like baby ain’t 1-1.5 yrs old where they take 1/2 naps a day . Plus they are learning how to sleep , people will always be offended .

My man’s mom got irritated I wouldn’t let her friend hold my SLEEPING new born lol like girl stfu and gtfo

A baby’s sleep is so much more important than anyone holding them. I didn’t let anyone visit or hold my baby when I knew she would be asleep.

Nope. Not because I don't want to but because I feel like the controlling/rude one when I try and set those boundaries... it's frustrating. I do often say "she's due a sleep, so will probaby be grouchy." If she's tired she will fight sleep and wants to be rocked... If I hand her to someone, she will cry...she's usually handed back to me very shortly after...🙃
If shes already asleep when they arrive, she will not be woken up to be held!
