Anxiety when other people hold baby

Perfectly normal! I’m the same and it’s my second baby

@Terri oh gosh, does this feeling last forever!? lots of comments about giving me a break so they probably mean well but I don’t want a break. All I want is him in my arms as I feel no one can comfort him like I can. Im worried family think im hogging him but I can’t bare for him to be with anyone apart from me! I know his cues etc! 🥲

Well :)) is normal ! My baby 5 months was not hold by anyone else apart from me, his dad and my mum ( as shes helping me around ) … 2 days ago had someone asking if she can hold the baby .. i was” ummm no “ .. we are due to go overseas to do his christening in my home country in May .. im dreading it.. ill make sure to make myself clear - NO KISSING , or holding .. im planning to keep him in a carrier most of the time 🙈

Very normal!

I would say this is normal. I only let my mam and dad hold my baby until I felt comfortable. No one needs to hold your baby so if you don't want them to just say no thank you

Very normal, if you don’t want other people holding him then don’t let them. No is a complete sentence 🤷🏼‍♀️

My boy is 18 months and I'm the same unless it is my partners family. You're his mum and he is a small person that you want to protect and that's OK. I hate how people made me feel so pressured to hold him when my son was born. I'd wear him in his carrier when he was younger which eased it a lot. I used to want to say to them that he isn't a toy 😅

I'm a FTM and the thought of people holding or wanting to hold my baby is really irritating me. I've no idea where this comes from because I have held other people's babies before. I just don't understand why people want to disturb my baby and she is not for you to be holding and getting germs on 😂😂 My grandmother-in-law is a massive smoker and reeks to high heaven of stale cigarettes. I'm nervous about her asking and how I will respond to that. I think you sound completely normal ❤️ you're also allowed to hog your baby. If people want to 'give you a break' they can offer to do something useful.

I get this. I just don't pass her around. You being comfortable really matters. People can bond with your baby later. Also, don't feel bad if you ask for your baby back. You literally CAN'T say anything wrong, because it's your wishes about your child. Other people being uncomfortable with your boundaries is their problem, not yours x
