Hi ladies, some advice!
I've seen a family member from my partner's side kissing my baby in the mouth... I didn't quite like it for germs, infections and also, wtf are you kissing my baby girl in the mouth anyway ...
As it's my partner's side of the family, I'm not quite sure how he's going to take it, but I don't want it to happen again ... How would you approach it ? Has this ever happened to anyone ?
I'm sort of fuming, and also panicking about any infections and etc...

This happened to me when my daughter was around 7 months, my MIL kissed her on the mouth, at this stage I didn’t even kiss my baby on the mouth myself. I was so upset and angry. I didn’t feel confident enough to bring it up with her so I had a very stern word with my partner and expressed how angry and upset I was. He had a word and she’s never done it again. And if anybody was to do it again I would say something myself as people have already been told
Thank you! I spoke to him yesterday and he took it very well. He will have a word with them.

I'd say it directly and if you don't have the confidence then get your partner to say it since it's his family. Something along the lines of 'X, we appreciate your affection; she is just so adorable but we don't kiss her on the mouth so if you could stop doing that please, its for her health and safety'.
