House Rules For Visiting Newborn Baby

Hello mommies! Is it actually common or okay for parents to implement house rules when it comes to people visiting the newborn baby? House rules such as… example: 1. Go to the toilet and wash your hands, arms and legs/feet after entering my house. 2. Do not carry my baby and post photos/videos of my baby without permission. 3. Do not come uninvited or unexpectedly. 4. Do not visit if you are not feeling well. 5. Do not make unnecessary comments or teach the parents what to do. And more… Will I sound unreasonable or difficult? What other rules did you implement? And what do you do if people do not follow?

I get my guests to wash their hands when they first come, and if they're sick, to be strict about them not coming. Most are quite OK coz they understand tt the baby is very vulnerable to sickness. for the other rules...it'll be hard to implement, especially with family. But if you feel very strongly about them abiding by these rules, then you will need to communicate them clearly to others. if its the in law side, your husband will need to be firm on this too.
