During a pandemic I really don’t see this issue being over dramatic. If I had a baby right now I would probably wish the same. I wouldn’t mind hugs or them being held but kissing is putting your mouth directly on the kiddo…so I get it. The name calling is quite gross on this thread. I didn’t want people kissing my child when she was little because she would get sick…a lot.

No you’re not overreacting I do not allow kisses until they can give kisses themselves. Also to try to protect them from infections that can last them a lifetime. If they can’t respect your rules after asking them to then stop bringing the baby by until they can.

I do believe you are overreacting. I am sure they love the baby and forehead kisses as long as all are healthy is no big deal. Do you have an issue with the inlaws? Do you feel this way with your parents also?

They’re her grandparents let them love on her. A grandparents love is like no other and the bond between child and grandparents is a beautiful thing let them love her. My parents are crazy close to my seven kids and watching their bond grow day by day is beautiful. So many kids don’t have good grandparents don’t push way them over something so silly.

Nope. The virus is real, and caution is King. We dont know everything about transmission as yet. My daughter is a new mom, and insists that of the few visitors that they welcome, must have Covid vaccines, and whooping cough booster. The baby is 10 mos old, and we have both inoculations. We have not been free to travel yet. I have been in chemo therapy, just completed. Hoping to visit, safely, late summer.
No not overreacting… she’s YOUR baby and what makes you feel comfortable and what boundaries YOU set should be respected. Does not matter who the person is they need to respect that

When my son was little I didn’t let anyone kiss him on his face. To be honest I didn’t want them to kiss on his hands or feet either. I also made them wash their hands before they were allowed to hold him when he was little. I’ve worked in an ER for 16 years and I had seen many a sick child so I was very protective of my own. Even at 9 years old I still only kiss him on the top of his head and never on his face.

Imagine yourself being a grandparent one of these days and not being able to kiss your grandchild simply on the forehead. A grandchild is an extension of their own child. As long as they are not sick there is nothing wrong with them kissing a baby on the forehead.

I understand your concern, but you do realize that Grandparents are the same people who changed yours or your spouses diaper, who one of you smeared runny noses on, sneezed on them, spit up on them, and probably wiped your tears on their clothes… get over your fear & realize they too don’t want to get sick & that the Grandparents, you parents & the child are very fortunate to have one another & share such a love for the little one. Kids are going to find germs whether you think so or not, let them feel those precious kisses on their heads, for they won’t have them around forever.

Get a grip. Grandparents should totally be allowed to kiss their grandchildren. This is what they live for. Unless they are sick, you are way over reacting. I believe if they were sick they would distance themselves in order to protect their grandchild. Oh how I wish my child could get a kiss from his grandparents. 
I believe you are being selfish.

Yes, you’re over reacting. They should be upset that you are wiping down your baby after they try to give your baby love. Wiping down your baby after they get close to her probably makes them feel bad. At seven months my kids were licking the floors. I use to make myself sick with worry trying to protect them from everything and went crazy trying to disinfect every surface and realized that sometimes we just need to chill

This is something you need to get over! Honestly, I feel like they’re probably restraining themselves a lot for you! They could be kissing the baby on the lips and they don’t. Even that wouldn’t bother me, they’re grandparents.

I mean, it’s your kid. Is their like a particular reason it bothers you? Is it just the kiss part or is it the worry of sickness that bothers you? My kids are older now, and are able to express on their own about body language boundaries and I expect others, myself included, to also be respectful of my childs boundaries with wanted or unwanted touch/affection.
Is this your first? I feel like that may play a huge part. Your body is going through so many hormonal and emotional changes. I was very particular about who was around my first. Not because I cared less about my other children after her but the whole parenting thing was so new. Your baby will have an undeniable bond with the grandparents but they will never replace you. They lobe your child like you do. These days will soon pass. Just look at it as extra people loving your baby. I think you are just “reacting” and that’s okay. Be gentle with yourself and be patient with your emotions.

Your child is lucky to have grandparents & inlaws at that , that want to show their love for their grandchild . If my daughter in law. Told me not to kiss her child on the forehead I would be soooo hurt it would break my heart to think this little baby could not have a small token of affection from its grandmother .On the lips I would never dream of it may be ask her to kiss the top of your baby’s head instead of forehead I’m sure she would oblige you with that request

The amount of mom shame in some of these comments is absolutely disgusting.
You aren’t weird. You are doing what a mommy does best and protecting your babe. When my little was tiny, I didn’t let ANYONE kiss her ANYWHERE. It wasn’t until she hit around a year or so that I became slightly less lenient, things like forehead kisses or back of hand kisses. Your baby, do what you feel is best. Screw whatever hate you may get for it. Your baby’s safety is the most important, not other people and their feelings.

Very.
Hands and lips are the things to avoid, but a forehead kiss is completely harmless.
So long as they aren’t nasty, smoker, sickly people then they’re fine to give some affection. ‘Germs’ from other people will also build baby’s immunity. (So long as not the extreme ones, obviously)
Try to calm down.

Maybe a tiny bit.
Kisses on the Hands and mouth? Maybe not. Not at a young age and with covid still being so mysterious .
However, on the forehead? I’d they don’t appear to have any illnesses they should get to enjoy their grand baby too. Your husband survived their parenting and most times grand parenting comes with the same safety. I’m sure they aren’t doing so to upset you. They just love her probably near as much as you do!
Enjoy having grandparents around, let them enjoy the grand baby a little. You never know when time can be cut short, trust me. I wish my son could get one more hug and kiss from
His papaw

Oh my. I don’t really have any advice. But as a nana of 3 beautiful, very squishy, snugly grand babies, i can’t imagine being told not to “steal all the kisses”. Unless of course I’m sick or they’re sick. Otherwise, it’s “gimme those cheeks”. I feel like a part of this is being left out? Is it fear of sickness? Did something happen in the past? Ex: i went through a situation with a male family member when younger, so bet your bottom dollar he gets NO alone time with my children and no kisses. Idk. Just a thought.

It sounds like you have unresolved issues with your in laws because in no way shape or form should it bother you that they show love for your child. If they were sick I get it but this to me sounds like you have some resentment or hatred towards them and are using your child to manifest it.

Omg! I swear parents now days. How do expect these kids to grow up? In a plastic bubble? Immunities are built and don’t happen in a sterile environment. I realize there is a pandemic, but these are GRANDPARENTS, not strangers on the street. Everyone has lost their damn minds
Not gonna be judgy… I’m guessing you’re a 1st time mom and worried and it is normal especially with covid.
I don’t really have any advice. But if you’ve explained how you feel and why you feel that way then it is a bit disrespectful. Maybe a compromise or alternative can be reached? Maybe blow kisses or air kisses would be better until the baby is 12 months? Is there a particular reason (smokers, germs, covid worries, prone to cold sores)?

There’s actually benefits to kissing your baby on the forehead. If I were you I’d just be happy that they loved and adored my baby so much they felt the need to kiss it but did so on her forehead instead of lips. I absolutely think you are over reacting and also in my opinion you are trying to stop others that want to love on your baby from showing it just that; LOVE. Would you rather them despise your child and want nothing to do with it? Be glad that you have in laws/family around to dote on your child. Some of us don’t have that luxury.
