This is my daughter's first Thanksgiving. She's only 1 month old. My boyfriend's family is handsy…

This is my daughter's first Thanksgiving. She's only 1 month old. My boyfriend's family is handsy and always wants to hold her. Now flu season is starting and my boyfriend and I don't want a couple of his family members holding her ( due to reasons, it's not just because the drinking, it's other reasons, it's complicated)...and they drink almost every get together/holiday but his family is Mexican (not racist just throwing it in there, I'm not sure if it's every Mexican family, just trying to get all the details in the situation, my family and his family are very different, and we both grew up differently)...but I'm not comfortable with them holding her if they are drinking..me for one don't drink, my boyfriend drinks on occasions but not every get together. I do not have a baby carrier, I also don't want to be rude and tell them they can't hold her etc...She's our first child and I'm obsessive of her being safe and making sure she's okay. I already told my boyfriend, I get nervous and worry everytime I hand her to anyone, not just his family...I don't like it when she's out of my eye sight, I don't like leaving her in a different room than me, I like it when she's in my arms and my view 24/7.. I may sound crazy (I know) but any advice?

I'd buy a baby carrier. Solves all the problems. 😂

I brought a bottle of hand sanitizer when my son was small. If someone wanted to hold him they had to use the sanitizer and i always asked, is anyone at work or home sick? Even if they themselves were not they might have the germs. Lol we also asked that no one kissed him

I told my boyfriend before our daughter was born, that we are going to be carrying around hand sanitizer and he looked at me like I was crazy lol

I’m the same way with my daughter. And that’s your child, you control who holds her, who touches her. Don’t be afraid to speak up and say something. And if they don’t like that, it’s their problem; explain why you don’t want a lot of people holding her, she is still brand new, and she shouldn’t be passed around like a show monkey. Random people try to grab my daughters hands, or put their hands on her face, I will grab them and move them away from her. I don’t like it. And I let them know lol.

I agree with the hand sanitizer for sure. Could you get there before everyone starts drinking and they could hold the baby then if you’d let them. My SO’s family are big drinkers for every occasion but they usually aren’t drinking right away.

And we could try to get there early who knows if they will show up drunk or not

oh wow, if they’re that drunk and the other stuff I definitely would just tell them no. I didn’t want anyone holding my son at first either, but I knew if anyone let something happen to him that my SO would take care of them 😁 You do what you guys are comfortable with and that’s all that matters 😃

Honestly I wouldn’t take my one month old out anywhere even for thanksgiving. Keep her inside away from people all together! She’s little and vulnerable to diseases. Especially if you have to take her around people who want to hold her or who are intoxicated. I just wouldn’t want my one month old anywhere near that situation. I can tell it’s worrying you too. I’m sorry mama hope it all works out🖤

I wouldn’t do a big gathering at one month, but that’s my personal opinion. Babywearing solves a lot of this. Bring sanitizer and likely she will just sleep on your chest most of the time due to all the stimulation.

I kept my daughter away from big crowds etc until after she was 2 months or so to let her build up her immune system.

At 1 month her immune system is still so weak. I wouldn’t risk it, especially with how bad colds and flu are already this season. Wait for a big gathering until after her first round of shots at least. Her immune system will be a lot stronger.

Buy a baby carrier. Hand out hand sanitizer. And ask when everyone got their flu shot.

also, if breastfeeding, take a double dose of vitamin C and zinc (separate over the counter supplements) for the next few days, then decrease to a single dose of each for the next few weeks. They boost the immune system and will be passed through breastmilk.
