[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can everyone give OP a break? My babies were born during "normal times," and even then I did receive guidance from our pediatrician about health issues (both were born in winter) about flu, whooping cough, etc.

My pediatrician absolutely advised us about grandparents getting vaccines, etc. He said on-mouth kisses are a definite no, and he advised that kisses go on the top of the head, etc.

OP is just trying to go off of medical advice from a pediatrician during a pandemic, yes? This must be a scary time to be a new parent. How about just a wee bit of grace? [/quote]

We got the same advice. Blame it on your doctor if you need to.

I really don't think "no kissing" is such a big deal. And it is perfectly reasonable to set boundaries. It's your kid and you know what is best. Don't lose confidence on this because of people here.

One other thing I'd watch out for is safe sleep. My MIL really pushed napping with my baby. Lots of "I did it with my kids and it was fine." That was a hard no and very annoying to deal with. [/quote]

- 1. The looking to set up boundaries for other people in their home for three months is both wrong and entitled.  This is her parents or in-laws HOME.  OP is the guest.  Yes, of course, she can ask grandparents not to kiss the baby for health concerns but little else.  If you don’t want your baby napping with your in-laws, don’t have them babysit.  [/quote]
