Visitors holding baby
Is anyone else struggling with other people holding your baby? My little one is 2 weeks old and I’m finding people wanting cuddles really difficult, especially when I’ve not offered them to hold her.
My MIL is desperate for cuddles so I feel bad about not wanting other people to hold her as I don’t want to upset anyone, but I’m starting to dread having visitors who will want cuddles and feel like I need to protect my emotions.

This is my 3rd baby and after the first I set boundaries we did not have visitor for the first 2 weeks well we bond as a family no one holds him untill I offer them to hold him if I want him back I will ask for him back , you got to rember they are your baby they are not a toy to be pass around you do what works best for you and don’t let anyone tell you any diffrent
I hate 'passing' my daughter around. I just watch and It feels like I can't breathe until she's back in my arms. I'll pretty much make up my excuse to get her back 🤣
It’s weird I’m fine with my parents & siblings holding him but anyone else it makes me feel awful haha.

Yes I used to watch my baby and miss him and want him back 🥲 would try to remind myself that I get him all the time and visitors are only here for a few hours but it was really hard. I’ll probably be more firm with this baby and ask for her back when I want her
