Baby wear in a sling or wrap

AHT AHT works like a charm. Its universal. Oh then walk away.

Baby wear and then tell people hes/shes moody and dont wanna be touched, theyll leave the baby alone usually

Stop worrying about being disrespectful and tell them not to. That's it. You have to be tough now because you're a mom. The exact words you use will depend on your personality but it's up to you to be a protective mother. It's not disrespectful to anyone to tell them you don't want anyone else touching your baby that day. You don't owe anyone an explanation as to why. Maybe you just watched a true crime show and aren't feeling it. I tried baby wearing too (not for this reason) and it was way too hot and uncomfortable, even at a healthy weight, and frankly silly in most contexts. You can make up whatever lies you want to, like them being sick or something, but this is practice for all the battles you will have to fight for them. Best wishes ❤️💪🏻

Refuse to hand them over. I’ve never had this but I’ve always made it clear the baby is mine and won’t be passed around like pass the parcel x
