No kissing rule

My child is four months. How do I enforce the no kissing rule with grandparents who don’t seem to be taking it seriously. I’m a first time mom and anxious around the idea of my baby getting sick.

Hey grandparents no kissing my child, if you don't obey my rule then gtfo and don't ever speak to me again. " or something like that

I know this is probably beating around the bush but depending on how sensitive they are, maybe you can “joke” that you won’t come around if they don’t adhere to your wishes? I straight up told my side and my husband’s and of course, my husband’s mom got offended but 🤷🏻‍♀️ Keeping my baby safe is my priority

"ooo did I forget to tell you? no kissing baby, we don't want to get sick" is what I would say the first time. Then I'd be more rude the next time, people take that seriously.

If they blatantly ignore it, you take baby off them and tell them you’ll see them again when they can learn to respect your parenting x

I snatch my baby away from them when they do it and they get asked to leave or we leave bc we tell them at every visit . And my MIL does. Every time. And she throws a fit and I don’t care. I tell you every time not to kiss my babies and you do it anyway.

Send them videos from social media of the horrible outcomes, that worked for my FIL and Nan who I had to tell off every time for months

i made a light hearted comment at first but when they didn’t listen i stopped them seeing him and dropped a message explaining that it can get him really ill as well as us already asking you not to and if you cannot respect that and my sons health then you don’t need to see him
