NOPE. I didn’t let anyone kiss our babies faces. Pissed my family off more times than I can count, I don’t care. I’ve seen too many babies with rsv to even allow a forehead smooch. If they don’t respect your wishes, leave

I personally wouldn’t care about the forehead, but its your kid and people need to respect your decision.
I do think your slightly overreacting is she your first child? However she is your child so what you say goes. X
You sounds like a horrible human who doesn’t want to share the love with the grandparents and hopefully your hubby leaves you for his sanity and your child’s your way overreacting good lord

One thing to think about it is if your breastfeed once the mother kisses their baby the mother creates pathogens to help the baby fight their infections or thats what my ob told me but I agree I hated when people kept kissing the kids after I told em not to your the mother you have the right to say what happens with the kids

Nope. I don’t want anyone that doesn’t live in my household kissing my kids anywhere. I don’t know where they’ve been, who they’ve been with, or what they could have. Especially with COVID. I don’t play when it comes to my kids health bc they have severe asthma. What gives everyone else a mild cold, could kill my kids.

Yeah I remember when I was a first time mom
I still am but I noticed these kind of things are so insignificant and not worth to be upset over. If you don’t want them to kiss your baby in the forehead then don’t allow them into your house. It’s that simple. You’ll be left with grandparents who didn’t get to kiss and love their grandkids. And tbh, you’re probably doing more harm by wiping down the kids forehead than the simple small kiss to show their affection. It just comes out as you being rude af.

Yes. You can’t protect them from every germ, or they won’t build an immune system. The forehead is an acceptable place for family to kiss your child. It’s skin contact that your baby will use to bond with It’s extended family. I know it drives you crazy. Try looking at it as an extension of love.

You’re the parent & whatever says goes. No matter how small/dumb/or over exaggerated a request is it should be respected. Tell them you just don’t want it done, do not let it keep happening or they’ll walk all over future request.
Are you worried about covid 19 or just don’t want them kissing your child full stop ?
Wait until they’re a bit older and eating stale French fries out of the back seat unless they’re contagious with something, your reaction is way over the top

I think a lot of people are forgetting that this is not a normal time frame either. With covid when children started dying people were told to not have others, even family members, touching babies more than neccessary. As the mother she is entirely within her right to enforce that. If the grandparents are more concerned that they cant go a few months without kisses than they are about keeping a baby safe…that is an interesting take for a grandparent to take.

I don’t believe you are over reacting. Because if you give them an inch they will take a foot. We have allowed our family to kiss our baby on the head and some family members decided it was okay to kiss her in the mouth and cheeks. So we told them no kissing her at all. If they can’t respect you as a mother then they don’t need to be around your kids. Let them hug the baby and kiss the top of the head but stand your ground. And if they don’t like that they can’t kiss your baby and stop coming around then they never loved that child🤷♀️

It’s your baby lmao. If you don’t want people kissing her don’t let them kiss her. Plain and simple. People don’t respect boundaries anymore clearly lol. Can you go about it in a different way, sure, I guess. But at the end of the day that’s your child. I wouldn’t want people coming up to me and kissing my forehead lmao. No wonder people have such a hard time with consent and would rather people please because y’all probably make your kids give hugs and kisses to people when they don’t want to because theyre “fAmIlY”. When she gets to an age where 1. Her immune system is more advanced, 2. We aren’t in the middle of a pandemic. & 3. Can comfortably go up to them and allow kisses on the cheek, forehead, or lips.
It’s just kissing people. Not like she’s refusing hugging, bonding or anything else like that lol.
Just do what you feel is right. There is no right way to parent and someone is always going to disagree with your methods.

Yes Maybe you’re overreacting but also maybe you’re not. Your kid your choice. From personal experience and even once the pediatrician said to me after bringing baby number 3 into the world and being a bit worried about all the germs my toddler may be carrying around these days…that the forehead and head is an ok spot for a kiss. Let healthy family (including siblings) touch feet or head only and kiss on head or forehead.
Their main thing is making sure everyone had an up to date Tdap.
It sounds like you may have some unresolved trauma if this small loving gesture is so triggering for you. Your baby is your baby so you are entitled to make any rules you want- but being upset about forehead kisses from grandparents seems a little over the top to me…
