How to avoid people wanting to carry and kiss baby

Ill be going to a relative’s wedding this comming weekend and its giving me anxiety. Esp the old folks who anyhow want to carry and kiss our baby!! My baby is 3 months old, and just recovered from covid(very traumatic experience, was even hospitalised). I want to avoid people wanting to carry my baby or even kiss my baby. I hate the idea of people passing around my baby, i dont even care if youre a relative. I honestly dont even like if my mil carry the baby at events cause shell go around walk around or people will anyhow come to her and touch touch baby. And yes me and husband agreed on using baby carrier, both konny for myself and ergo for my husband. However i feel bad for baby to be in a carrier for the whole day. And sometimes even when using carrier for few hours, can see his legs got marks from the carrier. And sometimes he would fuss when in carrier. Any other way to avoid them ? Cause some people just dont understand instruction and dont respect the mother and think we’re obnoxious. Cause recently we went to a family gathering, which i dragged the most, and some people anyhow come and kissed my baby! #firsttimemom

I hear you!!!!! And I’m the same! CNY is coming and I’m so dread to even think about it! I have decided to be firm but with a smiley face, to behave in a seemingly impolite/unfriendly way when rejecting. My plan is to be an a** so ppl will stay away from us 🤣

Haha! I think the most important is to get our husbands on board with the idea. I’m thinking of finding excuses like oh baby needs a diaper check/change, baby has stranger danger anxiety, baby needs to drink/eat, baby needs to nap to begin with. Good luck to the both of us!
