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

Em… I have this habit (for relative’s wedding where there are a lot of sangu liupo) of disappearing most of the time thru out the wedding and appearing when food is served to minimize interactions (I’m introverted and interactions stresses me). I mean, people would probably be too busy to noticed I’m missing right 😂. So when I attend wedding with baby, I will hear what time is food served, when is the march in, other than that, I will just push my stroller out of the venue and come back on time. But when I’m going in, I will carrier baby (to say baby want to sleep), then put her down in stroller when food is here 🤩. Family gatherings I will just say beforehand, do not kiss, even I don’t kiss baby, so don’t kiss her, thank you. If cannot listen (especially those who smoke and directly come near baby), I will just lock myself in the room with baby (if own house) or leave with baby☺️. You can say me all you want since I probably only see you once in like how many years? Not trying to be rude but obviously, my baby’s safety is way more important than caring about how you think 🥱.
