This. This is why we need to respect boundaries set by parents đź’”
Last night I shared the rules and boundaries my family is setting as we prepare to bring home our newest bub. After sharing that, I received a few messages from people saying they get a lot of pushback on one particular rule: "Don't kiss my baby."
To people who don't understand, I refer them to this story. This is Sadie. Sadie became really unwell after an adult kissed her. Every time I see the sores in her mouth, I'm reminded about why we push so hard to protect our babies. We may get people who disagree, and we may have to have a few awkward conversations. But I'm more than happy to cop that if it means I'm keeping my little one safe.
❓Still need more convincing? We have written a blog post, that is perfect for sharing with friends and family members who want more information. "Please, don't kiss my baby - here's why."
