Don’t touch my baby

2024/12/13 Edited to

... Read moreEstablishing boundaries around your baby is vital for their development and your peace of mind. As a parent, it’s crucial to communicate your comfort level regarding interactions with others. Not everyone understands the needs and sensitivities of infants, which can lead to unwarranted touching or overstepping personal boundaries. It’s important to advocate for your child’s space, ensuring that friends and family respect your preferences. Consider initiating conversations with friends about how to respectfully interact with your baby. Engage in group discussions, such as those found on parenting forums like #lemon8bookclub, where parents share experiences and tips. This community support can provide you with practical strategies to communicate your boundaries effectively. Furthermore, understanding child development stages can empower you as a parent. Knowing when your baby is most comfortable and receptive to interaction can help dictate when to welcome others into their space. Remember, it’s perfectly acceptable to prioritize your child's emotional and physical safety above social norms. By being assertive in establishing boundaries, you’re fostering a secure growth environment for your little one.

Stop Touching My Baby Please…
At every family gathering it is the same story. The moment I walk in with my child, everyone rushes over with open arms. Aunties want a hug. Uncles want to lift him up. Cousins want to kiss his cheeks. I know they mean well, but all I can think about is germs. Coughs. Cold hands. Runny noses.

Why I Don’t Say “Be Careful” to My Baby
I don’t say be careful to my baby when she is pulling to stand, climbing, or in a “dangerous” situation. Why? I don’t want to break her concentration. By saying “be careful” when she’s in the middle of something, could cause her to get startled and she may fall. Instead, I let her take her lead
