Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

I would go, but I would baby wear and tell them theyre not holding him.

I have no problems upsetting people when it comes to my baby.

Yes I would go however I would let a couple of people hold him and then say baby has had enough or joke that it’s getting a bit like pass the parcel and say maybe later.

I would go but very clear with my boundaries.

As an extrovert and had a really easy baby who wasn’t Velcro and was passed around to family alot, I would absolutely go and did at that age. We also had a SipnSee when he was 7w old

I went to a wedding when my baby was 6 weeks old, I was nervous beforehand but tbh it was nice. She did get passed around by relatives but it was fine. It was a nice day and good for me too

I would definitely go. It doesn't mean anybody gets to hold them unless I give the ok.

As a first time mom, I def wouldn't have went. Now? Yeah lol matter fact hold this baby

I would but would plan to baby wear if you don’t think you’ll be able to easily set clear boundaries.

Depending on the circle, you could also just have a few people spread the word that baby isn’t getting passed around at the party and to be respectful of that. It’ll give people time to get over their hurt feelings because too many people think they are entitled to other people’s babies.

I went to my Nana and grandads anniversary party when my daughter was around 4/5 weeks old, lots of people there and she didn’t passed around as much as I thought she would, novelty wears off after an hour anyways 🤣🤣

I would baby wear so can’t get passed around or just say baby has a cold and no one will want to hold baby 😅

No lol

My family got butt hurt when I told them that I don’t want kids touching or holding her because she’s still little and she’s not a play toy. We all know how nasty kids can be, but I still go but I’m very clear with my boundaries

My question is is this your first baby? A lot of people become at ease when they have more kids as they see it as a form of a "break" for someone else to hold baby

Id go and baby wear.

I think its a good idea to go and enjoy yourself by surrounding yourself with adults but make a boundary and say this is what I want and if no one holding your baby is what you want people will respect it

We're going to my partners sister's wedding when baby will be 7 weeks. We just got home from the hospital today so it seems daunting but its not something we would consider missing

Yes my dad’s retirement party was right before my little ones two month vaccines and I went. I just made it very clear that no one was allowed to hold the baby but Dad and I and everyone was very understanding. Little one is almost 8 months old now, healthy and happy as can be. I would say as long as everyone is going to respect your boundaries when it comes to baby you’ll be fine.

100% NO especially if you know they will want to pass around like a doll!

If you want to go then go! I wouldn't personally be worried unless someone was actively showing signs of being sick (coughing, sneezing etc). Babies need to build their immunity bit by bit and this seems like a nice way of doing it. I wouldn't mind people holding my baby but I'd keep an eye on them in case any over eager aunties started planting slobbery kisses on her 🤣😭
