[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you also shield your child from fireplaces, grills, auto exhaust, and do not take her with you to the gas station.

You seem a little neurotic. I understand that you have a premie and I understand that she is extra-fragile at this point, however, you don't need to be cruel and have a little compassion for your weak mil. Washing hands, no smoking on way to your house, brushing teeth, blanket between her and baby are the limits if what you can ask -- unless you would rather just skype with her for the time being.

On the bright, though morbid side, you may not need to worry about her for too long.[/quote]

This!

You are being irrational.  If no 3rd or 4th or 5th hand smoke, then CERTAINLY no exposure whatsoever to cars or buses or grilling.  So no going outside ever basically.

Try not to be OCD/neurotic.  Just ask MIL to please wash her hands before holding the baby because she is a smoker.  End of story.  Then just try to casually limit how often she holds the baby so as not to gross you out and everything will be fine.
