Friend advice
So as we are having winter babies I’m more anxious this time round with bugs and viruses as my first baby was born in June. One of my best friends has a 3 year old daughter who is poorly every time I see her because she’s got a new bug from nursery, she literally ALWAYS has a snotty nose now, how do I tell my friend politely that I don’t want her bringing her daughter to meet my baby because I don’t want my baby being ill. When my daughter was born (she’s 16 months old) my friend was forcing her daughter on my newborn like come and see the baby and literally put my daughter on her lap without even asking me and I know she will be the same this time. It’s stressing me out 🤣

You've got to be honest with her. If you're not comfortable you should speak up, and being that your friends she should understand its nothing to do with her it's just you're doing what you think is best. I know if you was my friend I'd appreciate you being honest!
Yea do not be afraid to put up boundaries with everyone. I have the same concern , having my baby Dec/ Jan and I’m already warning everyone I plan on isolating and they prob won’t see me for 3 months. Honestly ever since 2020 every year around that time everyone I know gets sick either with Covid or something else. Our babies are vulnerable and it’s up to us to protect them.

Honestly, just say it how it is like you have in in this post. She should understand. And just say you would still love to see her, on her own. There isn’t really a need for to bring her daughter as well
