How to tell people not to kiss their baby

How do you tell people not to kiss your baby, esp when theyre newborn. Especially for old people who dont take no for an answer and will think we’re being rude. Im planning to not let anyone kiss my baby, be it grandparents, in laws etc, except for me & husband. And do you let guest hold your newborn or pass around? I just want to protect my baby and set boundaries but you know old people 🙄 very hard to explain theyre always right and some would even go against it and just do it #firsttimemom #advicepls

I would tell them nicely not to kiss baby to avoid being sick and sanitize hand before touching baby. Politely tell them that due to so many cases of baby falling sick, please avoid from doing it. Even us as parents has to be careful. Not just because we are parents we can do whatever we want but live it up to it. Behind close door, kiss hug you can do. But in front of them, better not. Tell them baby's prone to falling sick. They sensitive or not up to them. That's your child and you have every right.
