Everyone obsessed with baby

Just walk over and take your baby back. So many mums experience this post partum and just end up resentful towards family and friends for it. I would smile and stay polite, but if people aren't listening to you, just act x

Could you maybe try keeping him in a baby carrier? So its harder for them to get to him. Then if they ask say awww he is sleeping atm and nice and comfy. Or say oh he is due a feed, then go and see to him in another room out the way?
Or could just put a temporary stop on visitors say you arent feeling well or something similar. Protect your peace 🩷
I do agree though i find it so bizarre this type of behaviour. I always try to take my cue from
The parents and only hold baby if offered etc cos everyone is different.
Mine is 9 days old and I get anxiety even when my 4 year old son holds him🤣
And even my mum I had to tell her not to kiss baby lol x

I'm 13 days pp now. I've been the same, my family came over day 7-8 and I struggled so much, had to take the baby off my mum at one point because I just couldn't sleep knowing someone else was holding him..

Our neighbours are desperate to come over to see him but I end up in tears just thinking of people coming into the house right now (unless it's a medical person with a reason eg health visitor). My husband did tell me I was being silly but my mental health support worker has told him to give me some time, which I appreciated.

I knew I was at risk of PPA anyway so have been under the local maternal mental health team since month 6 of pregnancy, I'd recommend asking if you can be referred to yours if possible. They can help back you up if you need it, or help you see how irrational you're being if needed.
