I dont want anybody holding my baby for the first period. Is that weird?

My baby is due the 29th of May. When she is born, I dont think I am going to be comfortable with letting others hold her. I nust want the fiest hours/ week to be just my husband and I. Is that weird?

there's a difference between being protective and being possessive.

@cherokeepatti is that being possesive?

@WildwoodFlower seems like it, if you are being protective you can stay near and watch the baby as it's being held. I knew someone who had a similar attitude, I'm raising hew boy now.

@WildwoodFlower you don't have parents, sisters, etc. that might want to hold the baby?

@cherokeepatti well yes....but i dislike the fact that when people visit a baby they assume they can hold the baby....I never assume i can hold the baby...and i never ask to hokd the baby unless the parents ask...i just want there to be boundaries
