You’re not being crazy, the risks are there, and you have every right to ask people who live in different homes to not kiss your baby. Whether it’s for health reasons or not, you can say no to family and friends kissing YOUR baby. I know some people just don’t like the thought of their child, baby or not, being kissed by anyone other than them, the parents
Instead of tiktok (which is full of inaccurate information) spam him with articles from news sources and research papers about the dangers of kissing babies. We didn't even let anyone not vaccinated around our son until he was a year old
Don't use tik tok as your information source. This one is a fact, but use something reliable to back up what you're saying 🙈
Most midwives I've come across have had the same advice which is to tell relatives to keep their mouths away from the baby. Take him to one of your appts and ask the midwife. They are likely to explain the same thing. Definitely recommend sending him sources with reputable info as someone else mentioned.
Just tell them in front of him - he will get over it. It’s incredibly dangerous to kiss infants That’s common knowledge but worryingly not for some. Are you in the UK? Try reliable sources (TikTok is not one of them) so NHS or from your health visitor directly
