I don't want my mother in law or anyone kiss my baby's mouth

I don't think is hygienic . My mother on law kisses my nephews mouth all the time . And is kind of annoying  plus she face him down on her lap . I won't allow her to do that with my son .. I really like and respect her but o have my limited  and restrictions.  What do you think ladies  . Do you like people in your family relatives be kissing your new born babies ? .

I agree with sass! Me personally I was raised with an affectionate  family.  We usually kiss  baby on the head or something.  But I wouldn't mind if they gave my baby a kiss on the lips.  Not like their making out with the kid. If that's the case, u shouldn't kiss ur baby on the mouth.  Who knows where ur mouth been or ur husband.  Wish we could keep our children in a bubble! but I'd wait till you have baby to say something. U may regret it. Ull c her kissing and stuff ur nephew and not urs. She might get scared to show the baby affection  cause that's the way she shows it and ur telling her its gross.

I can't stand that either u should only kiss ur spouse lips no one else let alone someone else's kids.  On the cheek that's as close as ull get to my baby's face even my older boys i never kissed their mouths why should anyone else. The other day my niece was trying to give me a kiss n she went for my lips i felt awkward but didn't want to make her feel bad she's only 2 but the next time she tried i told her remember on the cheek she still tried my lips but iturn my cheek is not her fault her parents showed her that way i just can't do it i only share lips with my hubby

I don't think she will end up kissing him on the mouth as a newborn, she will probably do it when he gets older though. Newborns are so tiny that her lips will be the size of his whole head lol.
the first time I got pregnant, I was so sure that I would be annoyed with certain people holding him. I was Sure that certain family members habits would bug me around my baby but once he was born, all of that changed.
I swear it's all hormones! I'm pregnant now and so many little things bother me like people chewing loudly, talking with food in their mouth and so on.. It's definitely a pregnancy thing.

But if it still bothers you after the baby comes out then just be honest and hopefully she will respect your wishes

Omg....people thought my husband and I was over-reacting when we told them we didn't want them to kiss our son anywhere on his face....that's kind of um nasty to me...lol...plus we don't know what type of germs that they are carrying...I'm sooo happy to see so many other mama's feel the same way......!!!!!!!!!
