Am I wrong for not wanting anybody to hold the baby if it's not me or my husband? If they touch them…

Not wrong. They have to sanitize!

@angelinao yes I do it also when I eat once I finish i sanitize after and before each feeding and diaper change i sanitize but I don't want people thinking that I'm being mean

Nope it’s not mean. My husband was very adamant that his family wash and sanitize before holding our youngest. He also wouldn’t let his mom hold our youngest JJ because she’s a smoker. Our youngest has special needs so we were very strict with our family when he was born about holding him and being clean etc. Aside from our very close family no one held JJ till he was 4 months old. He was so delicate and having had the brain injury we just preferred not to even have visitors..if we weren’t explaining why we didn’t want people to hold him we were explaining what was “wrong” with him. So we just preferred to have few visitors.

Absolutely not! I did the same thing with both boys and it will be the same for Atlas once he is here!!! You can never be too careful! I always have sanitizer in my purse, you never know what is on someone's hands 🤢 people look at me like I'm crazy but screw it LOL!!

How is your little one BTW? He is just perfect!!! How are you feeling?!

@ambrerumph1440, that’s not mean. It’s common sense. Theres too many germs.

@steviemariemalm, yesterday someone tried to touch my daughters hand and i said “ plz don’t touch it” he was like “why?” Me: “ because of germs. 🤷‍♀️ don’t ask me why.

I've always had people sanitize before holding my babies. To me it's just common sense!

@angelinao right that's what I thought to but folks be calling me funny and say I think im better than the next cause I believe in being clean

@tattooedmommyof4 right they think I be being mean thou

@ambrerumph1440 I think it's mean to expose a child to germs!

@steviemariemalm thanks hun and he is ok and my body just so sore that's all and I never been so sore

@tattooedmommyof4 me to you should here people they always say why I want my kids to be clean and always washing they hands they say they are boys they going to get dirty and they be like I'm such a bitch I be like really and go crazy

@steviemariemalm right I keep that with me to my kids have to take a extra bag and all when we go places cause I don't believe in dirty or germs but folks say I'm a bitch and think I'm better but I go off when they say that

@ambrerumph1440 my feelings are if someone can't respect my rules when in comes to my kids and my house they can just stay home! You're doing nothing wrong. Ignore them!

@beakymcspence right and folks call me a bitch alot for being that way and it's so much going around like they don't know I just don't get people my husband just look at me and be like I'm crazy but he say he love I'm like that I don't go anywhere cause people say i think I'm better so I just stay home and do things among my family

@tattooedmommyof4 I try and ignore them until they start popping trash and then i go complete ham I don't allow people to come over anymore cause of that filth that I am not about to allow

@ambrerumph1440, Your baby your rules 🤷‍♀️ Next spring we will be the same again with our new baby only our parents will be allowed to visit at first.

@ambrerumph1440, try to explain them 🤷‍♀️ if they don’t understand just do what’s better for your baby.

@ambrerumph1440, i feel bad that they make you feel that way. Just remember that you’re totally right about germs and you’re great mom because you think about your baby first.

@angelinao I be letting them know and they be like really so I just don't allow anyone around my kids anymore

@angelinao thanks hun and yes I'm used to them saying it now I just be like it is what it is cause my kids health come first before anything

@ambrerumph1440, yes 🙂

@beakymcspence right ion let anyone around my kids now they made it that way

It’s not wrong. And it’s none of their business WHY you want them to sanitize. Should be common sense. Hell it should be common sense not to touch someone’s baby anyway unless they have permission. A man came up and kissed my daughters arm when she was 2 months old and I almost freaked out. I didn’t even know him. It’s not okay🤷🏻‍♀️

@tatsandcats right and I probably would've went crazy on that guy I won't even allow my older kids to much to touch the baby let alone a total stranger I don't play that germ mess I make sure to make sure everything is fresh and clean even when I don't have to clean I still bleach all the floors and everything I can't do the germs but in others eyes I just think I'm better than people that jsut shows me how they are really nasty and I won't accept it around me nor my kids

@ambrerumph1440, girl this is your baby. They shouldn’t question your rules. Wanting them to sanitize in no way says you think you’re better than them🙄

@tatsandcats it literally started a argument with some people saying really thou you want somebody to sanitize their hands just to touch him I clearly said yes and I do I sanitize to change him feed him and also to play with him ion see anything wrong with it

@ambrerumph1440, 🙄 there isn’t anything wrong with it. It makes me so mad when people don’t think they need to listen to a moms restrictions.

@tatsandcats right and be wanting to tell you what to do I be ready to snap and hurt feelings I'm very strict when it comes to germs and bringing sick kids around cause I had to nip that in the but people used tor do that I was like o hell no

@ambrerumph1440, yes! I don’t take Sarina anywhere if she’s even been sick. I don’t want to risk her getting another baby sick. Some people just don’t give a damn.

@tatsandcats right I mean bring babies over sneezing runny nose crying making messes and then gonna wanna touch my baby and mess with his things ughhhhh no that's why I told people not to come around again and it's been about 4 months and I love it I keep my kids away from other kids when they are sick I don't even let them play outside or with one another if one is sick and the others aren't and Lord forbid if they get my baby sick I would loose it so it's best if they stay away

@ambrerumph1440, 100% agree. You do you momma and protect your babies.

@tatsandcats right I tell people all the time they need to protect their kids more kids always sick not mine I keep up with their health and healthy eating habits
