To all those saying she is over reacting Remember no means no my son was premature and I told people if they touched my son without washing there hands first They would not visit my son again fallow my rules or don’t come back
The covid virus is still very much out there—Staying so many feet from the baby is the smart thing to do. Even if they have been vaccinated they can carry it and not know it. Please show respect of the parents wishes and their doctors advice.
Nope! You’re the mom. You get to feel however you want to feel! It doesn’t really matter what anyone else says or thinks. You do what’s right for you and your baby.
Big question do you mind your parents kissing your child on the forehead? If so then suggest some of your parents signs of affection for your in laws to use.
I so think your over reacting. I kissed ally grandbabies. Why do you think that’s not normal?I kissed them and hugged them every chance I got. I love all of them very much.
I don’t think you should be worrying, it’s not going to harm your baby they are just loving your baby . 
Babies are quite resilient too x
If you don’t like it then you don’t like it, you aren’t over reacting. Is it just the inlaws u don’t want 2 kiss her or everyone? Cos my niece is 16 months & I can’t resist kissing her chubby cheeks.

Yes. My family and friends are allowed to kiss my baby on checks, forehead pretty much everything accept lips
I think you’re overreacting, but I say this as a mom of 2 who is also overprotective. I don’t like when people go against parental authority. I think they’re trying to be respectful by kissing her forehead bc they know it isn’t safe to kiss her too much. They’re being cautious while still showing affection. Ik as a parent it can be hard to fight your urges to be angry about everything, but try to allow their affections in this way.
If they have bad hygiene I understand and wouldn’t encourage it the same, but if there’s no real issues other than being worried about your babies getting sick, I wouldn’t make a big deal. As long as they aren’t coming around knowingly sick or with colds.
Ps, I have a 6 months old myself❤️
I love these comments and some so funny!
As a mother I understand BUT my in-laws helped so much and FREE! Small price to pay letting them kiss my girls. I will be a grandma soon but this time I will ASK my daughter if it’s ok to smother my grand baby with kisses.
I mean it’s your kid, so your say but thats a little much in my opinion. In the middle of a pandemic on the mouth, absolutely not. But a forehead kiss? Come on. Definitely overreacting.
Grandparents should be able to kiss the grandkids. You are definitely overreacting and being nit picky.

This is crazy! Its not like it’s a stranger kissing your baby and they are kissing the baby on the forehead, not the mouth. I don’t see what the problem is. If you’re concerned about covid, they shouldn’t be coming over to see the baby anyway. What a cold world it would be to not be able to show affection to your own grandkids
There is nothing wrong with a grandparent kissing their grandchilds head. It’s not a health hazard, as there is no saliva spread to the nose, mouth or ears. You are 100% overreacting. Affection at that age is immensely important if you want your child to have a balanced psyche. However, as her mom you do have the right to tell anyone how you feel about your baby.
I kiss my granddaughter on the forehead. Never on the mouth or hands. But its your baby. If it bothers you that badly, let them know.
Would you rather they kissed her on the lips? Surely they kiss her on the head because they love her and it’s better there than in the lips, need I tell you why?

It your baby you have the right to make the choice about your baby as does her dad. If the dad is okay with it maybe let it go until the baby is old enough to say what they want and then enforce the child decision.
That said its the forehead it is not the lips or the nose to the hand so they baby is not getting anything in her mouth. But this is a conversation you need to have with the baby’s dad and see if your on the same page. and only if you are then HE should say something to them. But be sure to talk openly about and not make it a fight if his opinion is not the same as yours. Some times we can over protect our babies and the can be just as bad as not protecting. I would be grateful they love your child.

Wow you big time over reacting. New born baby is understandable but your child is 7months old.
Do you wipe your baby after your own parents kiss her?
This child is so lucky to have people to live her, let her enjoy it
Do these same wishes apply to your parents or just to your husbands? I can’t imagine telling a grandparent not to love on their grandchild. If that’s your choice, I hope you get to see how that feels when you’re a grandparent.
I would tell them do you want to be punched in them lips if not keep off my baby. No means no and if you think it’s ok to kiss my baby when I say no then it’s ok for me to punch you in your mouth when you don’t want me to
I know I just don’t like anyone kissing my children but that’s bc I’m jealous and I feel that they are stealing my love away lol
Be happy your baby has love !!
My mother in law died when my baby was 4 months. & she does not know any of her grandparents- all but 1 are all DEAD. So 
please stop taking love from family for granted.
The parents of The Unfiltered Parent IV would know exactly how to answer this question!! They always give great advice without judgment!!
Is it because its in laws remember they also love their grandkids
Yeah if grandparents can’t kiss their grandkids might as well just don’t have them over
If she was a newborn that makes sense
But 7 months?
This is your child and your rules should be followed. We all love to kiss the babies but if mommy says no kissing on the face/forehead then that’s it.
Always the in laws🙄 sounds like you like being in control. She is not a newborn and there not kissing her on the mouth…
Lol I’d be pissed if I couldn’t give my grandchild kisses. If she was newborn then yeah but come on dude stop being like that
If it wasn’t a current plague I’d say yeah, but it’s a plague so I get it

Do you freak out about it when your own parents give your child affection? Or just the in laws
It could be by the mouth. Chill. Let the grandparents love on baby and keep wiping her down behind their backs so no one gets butt hurt.
During this epidemic no your not overreacting I would be cautious also family or not they should respect your wishes
Did you have a direct and clear conversation with them that they have to stop? That if they do not stop they can no longer be around your baby? Because it’s time
Normally i would say yes as it is there grandchild right.?But with Covid maybe not…up to you.
Maybe just allow them to kiss their feet or tummy for compromise.
Oh no…they’re just loving grandparents…don’t take that away from them!
I don’t blame you I would be pissed off too.Thats YOUR child I know a baby who is now older that was kissed and now has to live with herpes because the grandmother gave her a kiss.

A forehead kiss is very neutral, most people do this. Some kiss cheeks and some lips. I prefer forehead.
Mine kissed on the lips. We told her no and she stopped. Why does it bother you? Is it just you don’t like your inlaws?
Your child if you don’t like it then they need to stop
No but at least it not the mouth or holding their hands
Is this for real right now? Have we come to this? Where affection can’t be demonstrated? If they were to ignore your kid you would probably be complaining too. Geeze lady 
It’s the forehead. Chill. As long as it’s not her mouth, or even cheeks, you’re good.
Its her forehead not her lips etc i wouldn’t worry
You are overreacting. Not to mention the more you sanitize her, the more you are getting rid of the good bacteria.
You are not overreacting. My ex mother in law gave my baby something and incurable.
Yes.
Babies deserve ALL the kisses.
You gonna not let her go down the slides without sanitizer? Shake hands?
Stop now. Germs are fine.
My opinion there isn’t anything g wrong with this @ all
No your not over reacting I dont like it when people kiss my kids even if there family. They can hug them but should not kiss your babies
What it’s like when your mother came to see your baby and kiss her/him on their forhead or anywhere lucky those who have been blessed with grandparents

As long as it’s on forehead your baby is fine, just don’t kiss on baby’s lips🥰
You’re kinda overreacting because they’re already so close to your baby that they’re able to kiss them on the forehead. You should have made them wear a mask. Or say now you have to wear a mask since you don’t respect my wishes. You’ll have to make a boundary if you want to get what you want

I kiss my grandson on the forehead and no problem but I also hope she tells her parents the same thing. But if you have a problem with them them just tell them not to come around since kissing them on the head bothers you so much. Ultimately it’s your child so pick and choose your battles wisely

You people act like the only way to show love is by kissing. Its not. Stop thinking you’re so entitled to kiss other people’s babies. You aren’t. If you are told by a parent to keep your mouth to yourself. Do that. You don’t make the rules, no matter how badly you wish you did.
Right now with covid concerns I completely agree. I make my whole family mask around my baby

You’re not overreacting. Especially if you all don’t live together and the rule applies to all grandparents not just the in-laws. Plus, Your baby, your rules. Yes it may suck for the grandparents but if they respect you they will respect your rules. Grandparents had their turn to kiss their own babies, now it’s yours. Just my opinion.

I don’t blame you, especially in the world we live today.
Do I think she’s trippin… yes. Should people respect her wishes as a mother. YES
Your child, your choices. For everyone saying you over reacting should see what the herpes virus can do to babies. There are so many other forms to show love , a cuddle 
do not let people tell you what to think or feel when it comes to your child
You are not overreacting. Some people do not understand the amount of anxiety a mother has when other people handle their children. It’s how a mother’s brain is wired. So honor the mother’s way of handling her child. Do not disregard what she thinks is best for her children. Do not say she is overreacting when you cannot even begin to understand how a mother fights off the thought that something might harm her children.
Yes definitely over reacting. But I think it would help to know why you don’t like it?

Your in laws?! They are your baby’s grandparents. Be thankful they are in her life and show her affection. I kiss my grandson every time I see him 
I honestly think its un fair… And un fair to your partner. The baby is Just as much yours as his… I don’t see any harm of grandparents showing affection to their grandbaby.
Let’s be real! it’s not about COVID it’s clear your not a fan of your in laws!

Ummmm… COVID. That’s it! They can’t fight you on that point blank period! Covid- back up!
jeez some of you don’t know why she’s how she is or why she feels this way, especially with how things are going on in the world at the moment! but at the same time i do agree that it is stopping the baby bonding with their grandparents. end of the day that’s your baby and if it makes you uncomfortable then i would addess it in the nicest manner mind. it’s a double sided situation i guess…
If kisses on the forehead were harmful to babies there would be a lot less people in the world. I think it’s absurd to wipe a baby down after a forehead kiss. I hope your house, car, and everything else your baby is exposed to is as sanitary as your baby sounds or else a forehead kiss is the least of your concerns.
Your child your rules … just share that you would really appreciate no kisses due to germs 
Yes you are overreacting. You will cause bad feelings
Really?? Get over yourself. You’re wiping the baby down after?? Crazy.

Covid-19?!? If that was the case why bring them around them!
My in laws are heavy smokers and my mother in law showed up to a birthday party for my 4 year old drunk. Her son and I got married in August and we are expecting a baby boy this summer. M-i-l doesn’t respect anyone’s space and made my 12yo extremely uncomfortable when trying to kiss her. I will absolutely set boundaries that my husband and I agree on. I will welcome their love but there will be boundaries set

If someone has a wart they can quite literally kill your child with 1 kiss. Keep . Your. Lips . Off . My . Baby. Period.
Your definitely over reacting. I would understand the lips but babies need kisses.
You’re overreacting…they’re grandparents.
