Did/will any mamas here choose NOT to allow visitors to hold their newborn baby?

I’ve been fine with holding but definitely set boundaries in other ways second time around such as reduced frequency of visits and only set days to allow any visitors. Family didn’t like it but it was much better for my mental health and wellbeing not having to “host” people who don’t offer any help and just want photos with your baby. I found time went so fast this time around too, I was glad I got some time to soak up the newborn stage which went by so fast

As a mama to be I’m not gonna allow visitors or anyone else to handle my baby for 2-3 months, I want to allow them to build an immune system before coming into contact with others.
It’s your baby and your boundaries, it’s okay to not allow others to handle such a fragile being.

My son was born in November so I was very much against playing hot potato with him. I think I only allowed my dad & MIL to hold him until sick season passed. I didn’t feel bad about it at all. I may have considered letting my FIL hold him but he smokes cigarettes so that was a hard pass. I plan on holding the same boundaries for my daughter that’s due in August.
