[quote=Anonymous]Op here:

1. I love my MIL and don't have any underlying/hidden issues with her. This isn't a question about loving her.  I am extremely thankful for her.

2. By "we" I mean that my husband tells her to stop kissing the baby in the face because he feels the same way if not has stronger feelings in this regard. I have told my mother the same thing so it is not an issue isolated to my MIL.

3. Yes he is/will be exposed to germs they are unavoidable. But he is a freaking newborn people!!! I feel strongly about the baby not getting sick so early on in life (2 weeks). Kissing the baby in the face and passing on God knows what IS avoidable.

4. When the baby is older (Has a more mature immune system) I don't have as many issues with the kissing.  But do find that 10 kisses within a span of 30 minutes is smothering, I personally would not like it.

5. My MIL wears red lipstick and heavy and nauseating perfume. The baby stinks like her perfume afterwards.

6. I am the parent and it's my job to advocate for my child's rights. Since I wouldn't like to be kissed on that way why would I subject my child to that?

7. Affection and love is not measured by kisses!!! Find another way

8. The issue I am having is not hormone related. And I have been sleeping just fine actually my baby is and has been sleeping through the night.

Another reason why I would like to keep it that way by avoiding him getting sick from unnecessary touching!!!!!

9. I find it odd that I have to ask people not to kiss him in the face. I thought it was common sense. I did not behave this way with any 4 of my nephews when they were first born no matter how cute they were. Control yourself!

10. My husband and I have a loving respectful relationship. He is not shallow and I do not withhold intimacy.
