I think you are experiencing anxiety/ ppd possibly. Because I know how it feels. I hope yal are able to talk and work thru things
Yeah Iâm definitely siding with you, thereâs no reason for people (even family) to be kissing your baby 
especially with a global pandemic going on. My ex mil kissed my oldest daughter despite my telling her not to & now she has coldsores. Doesnât matter where the kiss is, they shouldnât be doing it thereâs no need for it. Itâs also a huge part of kids learning consent.

Doesnât matter if you are overreacting. No one should do anything to your child without your permission. Youâve asked them to stop and they should. Until you say otherwise no one should project onto your children like that. Itâs about respect for the mother.

So a grandparent cant kiss their grandchild?. Does your family kiss the baby?. I wouldnt ask the in laws to buy diapers etc if you feel that wayâŚ

Yes, the forehead and it is grandparents. Do you freak every time the baby pits her fingers in her mouth? Have you studied how the immune system works? It needs stimulation. Have you looked up the products you are wiping her with and the effects of them on the body?

You are NOT overreacting. A babyâs immune system is not built up to fight off anything within the first couple of months or so (possibly longer if the baby has medical challenges) & a parent has a right to deny access to their child if they choose to do so

I am a first time mamaw. I refuse to kiss my grandbaby , especially under a year old. My daughter in law requested that no one kiss HER baby (I mean germs and all and donât get me started on the fact that we are in a global pandemic) and I respect that. I support it 100% because there are so many illnesses that we can have that can be deadly to an infant. I still hugged her and snuggled but I didnât kiss her. As crazy as people think some new moms are they have that right to say whatever they want about their baby! I put myself in my daughter in lawâs shoes and I know I would be upset if people didnât respect my wishes for my baby. My grandbaby is 2 now. If she wants a kiss I let her kiss me on the cheek (which is okay with her parents). Her other grandma kissed her all the time and even on the lips. Almost gave her COVID! I will say that my grandbaby and I are very close, we show each other affection and I am one of her favorite people. Moral of the story⌠respect parental boundaries, never kiss a baby especially under one, and even though I have never kissed my grandbaby we are very close and she knows I love her very very much. If you didnât make the baby you donât get to make or question the rules!

As a grandma of 6, mom of 2 ⌠and all that really doesnât matter, I guess ⌠the issue here is your wishes as a parent are not being respected. How does your husband feel about the situation? Does he support your wishes? Does he reinforce your wishes to his parents?
Yes, children need to be exposed to germs so their immune systems can build up strength. Kids need to be able to play in the mud, and just be kids. You know at a certain age, everything they touch goes straight into their mouths. But for babies under a year old, itâs reasonable to be a little over protective.
I would think during this pandemic, you canât be too careful, and any restrictions regarding health are reasonable, if they give you peace of mind.
Sit down with your husband and inlaws, and explain your concerns, and let them know that this is an important issue for you. Tell them that you understand they may not agree with you, but that as the parent, you expect your wishes to be respected. Explain that you feel they are disrespecting you, and disregarding your childâs health, when they choose to ignore your wishes.

expressed, i do not like it when people kiss my baby and wiping the child down does not equal please do not be kissing my baby at all. they could think you are meaning other people. you didnât really say, just i expressed i donât like this. perhaps you should sit down with grandparents, his and your both and explain what you expect. however, you may not like the end results. however, yes, the baby is your baby and people should honor your request.
I think if you are a first time mom itâs understandable to act this way. I was like this as well and now looking back on it I was being too much 
You are over reacting they are their grandparents. They donât want to get your baby sick they arenât going to kiss on her if they are feeling any sort of sick. Do you let your parents kiss her forehead?

I would not even trip on grandparents at all. They all need to build immunities towards each other. Strangers or even just friends yeah Iâd want to avoid that. But not grandparents. Or close family members.
Youâre over reacting.
if they are vaccinated I would not worry about itâas long as it just on her forehead and not close to her mouth. If not vaccinated they should be wearing a mask when holding baby.
Not at all. Your boundaries need to be respected regardless of how others feel and you arenât responsible for their reactions. If they donât stop, they can lose access to the baby. Simple as that. Moms rules arenât negotiable

Okay. I get everyoneâs reaction but calm the hell down. If you read in between the lines she has some anxiousness going on with possibly being paranoid. So yes, probably a first time mom.
I reacted the same damn way. My PPA was in overdrive and it didnât help that I was a germafob (sp?).
Especially now in our current state, Iâd be losing my shit. Even with already that they can be exposed to. But, Darlin. Express how you feel. Set ground rules. Explain for the safety of your little one and your family they need to respect your wishes. If not, then say no visiting until then.
Simply put. Wish I could give you a hug and let you know it will be okay, and soon it truly will be.

It doesnât matter if other people think you are overreacting or not. Itâs your baby so your rules. If your in-laws or anyone gets offended so be it. Where does your husband stand on the matter? These are his people and they will only stop if you and your husband present a united front. If they are getting mixed messages from him that the kissing is OK, then they will continue. In the current covid climate that we are in, kissing is just not good practice anyway.

Yes I believe you are. Me personally I think youâre taking controlling to whole other level. I could see getting pissed off over the face and mouth but for goodness sakeâs itâs the babyâs forehead. Take a chill pill and calm yourself. Whatâs unhealthy is you not allowing grandparents to show proper affection to their grand baby.

I personally think that you and your SO should be on the same page & if you both agree that you donât like anyone other than yourself kissing the baby ANYWHERE then they shouldnât. She is your baby, you set the rules. If they donât like it then thatâs on them. Do what you think is best for you and your baby. I didnât let people hold mine until they washed and sanitized their hands and there was ABSOLUTELY NO KISSING my baby for a very long time. You do you mamma, you know whatâs best for your child.

I raised 3 kids, successfully to adults and they got kisses on foreheads and even on the lips. They are your childs grandparents, your significant other 's parents. It comes off as an insult when you feel like you have to sanitize your child just because they were kissed.
Its your baby. If it makes you uncomfortable with people kissing your baby then you have every right to speak up and express your feelings about it. I completely understand. It worries me too. Especially in the middle of a pandemic.
