How do you stop relatives kissing a one month old on the face?
Visitors have started coming now that he's a month old, and almost every one picks him up and kisses his cheeks, sometimes his hands, which then go straight into his mouth. I mentioned it to one aunt and the room went quiet. My partner says just tell them the doctor said so. Our paediatrician did say to keep handling to a minimum for now, but I'd still like a way of saying it that doesn't make every visit awkward. How have you put this to elders without starting something?
