I mean if you still donât kiss the baby, they shouldnât kiss the baby. Juat common sense. You are the mom. Does dad have any input? The way they react to it all, as parents, should tell you. Itâs basically about respect.
Itâs your baby, so your rules!

I think it is ridiculous. Your in-laws just love the baby and want to express it!

On the forehead is fine and they are the grand parents, not strangers, just randomly coming up and doing it.

You ARE NOT overreacting. The people here saying you are have simply never experienced life with a sick child. My newborn caught RSV (a simple cold for adults, detrimental for babies) at 2 months old and ended up in the hospital for a week. HoweverâŠthe aftermath was THE WORST. Itâs been a 5 year journey of asthma type meds as every little cold turns into pneumoniaâŠher little body has had so many back to back prescription meds, itâs sad. Iâve had everyone tell me âoh try vitaminsâŠtry essential oilsâŠtey this, try thatâ if only it were that easyâŠand every year we had at least 2-3 hospital stays and countless emergency room visits. I was an exhausted mommaâŠuntil thos pandemic hit and I was forced to put her in a bubble. She has been perfectly fine away from people and I have learned to give people a hard no when it comes to my childâs health. Your job as a mom is to protect your child. Donât feel guilty. Having said thatâŠIâd ask again gently, since it is your inlawsâŠand maybe provide some literature on some of the risks. Loving grandparents are a blessingâŠbut they should respect your boundariesâŠespecially now with Covid

Overreacting. If you really are bothered keep the baby in a baby carrier the entire time youâre with them or forgo visits altogether. Definitely avoid them if theyâre in any way sick or have a cold. At least itâs the forehead. Far too many people want to kiss babies on the mouth aka my mil.
2 Likes
Yeah they obviously need to learn about what can happen to babies that are kissed. Bet you anything one of them has had a cold sore in their lives. Look up the baby who was only kissed on forehead and what happened when she broke out in cold sores all over her face because a family member kissed them and didnât have a breakout but still passed it on.
Forehead kisses does not make it okay, all the baby has to do is touch where they kissed and stick their fingers in their mouth, NO youâre not overreacting.

I just kept my baby to myself but I regret it now. I was afraid to take him out of the house because he spent a month in the NiCu
Is your family allowed to kiss the baby? Do you wipe off everything your in laws buy your baby? They are simply showing your baby affection. My parents and my in laws kissed my children when they were babies and they are all completely healthy. My rule was not to kiss or hold my children and avoid my house when you are sick.

Lips on a babies skin releases 'feel good hormones" in their bodies. Does this baby get kisses? Babies need to feel love to develop correctly.
Let them love on their grandbaby⊠honestly, pick your battles. What theyâre doing is nothing but positiveâŠthereâs some moms out there that would do anything to have their children have grand parents that give a shit about their kids!
I JUST CANâT IMAGINE COMPLAINING ABOUT MY CHILD BEING TOO LOVED.
On the other hand, forcing a child to give kisses is not ok. But this is a baby! Let them feel the love⊠I feel itâs unfair to take that away from your child. It may bring your baby the best most loving feelings ever!
I know yâall gonna come at me with âher baby, her choicesâ but what if youâre taking away from your baby developing those love and empathy skills bc youâre trying to control it all?

With the pandemic, Iâve found myself overly cautious as well, but when it comes to family and you know they are healthy I dont feel itâs right to deny that loving interaction. I might be wrong, but it sounds to me like there may be more deeply rooted issues between you and the in-laws other than just the kiss on the forehead.
Although I dont particularly agree with you on being upset about it the forehead kiss, I also thinks itâs wrong that they continue to do it after you have communicated that you donât like it.

Yes, youâre overreacting. Thereâs your answer. Youâre being incredibly selfish to deny your child love & affection from those that love her. There is a difference between too much & inappropriate, vs them kissing her on the forehead & showing affection.

Over and over itâs been said why itâs not ok for babies to be kissed on their head, and itâs because of sanitary reasons⊠maybe you should show them slides of what other babies have ended up due to that⊠I understand there wasnât enough education or research decades back but by now I think most people should get itđ
Theyâre family, not some strangers!
No sickness/sniffle or coldsores, no worries!
The forehead is fine, not lips but by 7months old, your baby is going to start putting germs in their own mouth!
Itâs important for those otherâs close to the baby to bond too.
My two boys have turned out ok, kisses and all.

I would understand if they were kissing your baby on the lips but the forehead? Your baby is not a new born that is unvaccinated so please let the grandparents show their grand daughter some love.
