I feel like this too. Specifically about the kissing. I only ever kiss his forehead. I explained to my dad yesterday that im avoiding kissing on the face and he listened. But then started kissing and playing with his hands. Which to me is just as bad as he loves shoving his hands in his mouth. Id already had to speak to dad about him smoking and the rules around when he can hold him etc, I felt so guilty having to say no don’t do this and don’t do that. But if I don’t I sit and fret.
I'm the exact same and despite constant reminders, my MIL kisses him every single visit. It makes me not want her near him as I now don't trust her to respect boundaries. Fe like I'm counting the days until 3 months when his immune system is a bit tougher.
I feel the same. My first was born in the spring so I wasn’t as worried about colds . My second is 5 weeks and the panic! However Dad is a chef and as he works in a restaurant he’s always bringing illnesses home. I have no idea how his immune system isn’t better by now. In the last couple of weeks we have all had Covid (my worst nightmare with a newborn) and my 2 1/2 year old has had croup. The baby sailed through it all and didn’t catch anything - or didn’t have any symptoms. The midwife said that when they bf your milk changes when you get an illness before you even realise and give them protection. It’s not full proof but as we have somehow made it through I’m feeling better about colds in general. My eldest wasn’t bf and she also avoided Covid so maybe little ones are just more immune than we think? Xx
Feeling the EXACT same! 😭🤍
