Offensive and controlling or setting boundaries?

IMO I would send this and not care who takes offence. Atleast their reaction shows they got the message and should respect it. To each their own and I plan to do the same x

I don’t know why anyone would be offended by this. To me this is how it should be for any newborn & mum even if there’s no immunosuppressed situation. I’d say ignore the ones who weren’t happy bout it it just shows they were the ones who weren’t going to do these things off their own back & so are the ones who need this in black & white

I think if I received this I would just think the family is anxious and also I would understand why. Is it your first baby? This in itself is anxiety producing without any added complications. I wouldn’t take offence - the guidance is standard guidance now anyway, you’re just making sure they’re all aware xx

Totally fine. It’s important to you and you must do what you feel you need to protect your family.

Love this idea

I personally love this. I think different generations and different cultures would respond differently

Personally I would not take offence to this whatsoever. My little girl was born prematurely and we wouldn’t let anyone touch or hold her for the first 1-2 months (as advised by midwife’s and health visitor) and some people were fine with it and some were annoyed. The ones that were annoyed I just ignored them as my baby’s health comes first x

I had these boundaries and still do. My son is 2 today! If they can’t respect them they don’t need to be around. Plain and simple. My husband’s family don’t respect our boundaries. They only met my son twice the first 5 months he was born. Hasn’t seen them since. Their problem. Not mine. Good luck! 🍀

nobody i know would be offended by any of this, we tried to enforce similar rules regarding our first born however my MIL is a bit of a cow so she ignored most of these things. if we weren’t living with her at the time we wouldn’t have allowed her to visit again😂

Not offensive at all. If others have taken offense, that’s on them! Well done for setting boundaries, a lot of new parents really struggle with this and regret it x

I did the same thing, lots of people were offended and I didn’t care because it was for my baby. So don’t worry about it

I think this is a great idea to set boundaries. Your words are respectful. Anything might be offensive to anyone. Don't let anybody get you down. You're doing an awesome job safeguarding your own family's peace and safety.

This is way more chill than some of the others I’ve seen. I think if it’s important to you it’s a great idea. I didn’t do this and was met with a series of situations that made me uncomfortable as a first time mom. So it was a lot of stress trying to navigate family while trying to backtrack and set boundaries. Do what’s best for your family and your mental health!
