Don't touch the baby!

Hey ladies. I currently am not pregnant (just ttc) but I have a question for you mamas out there. We have a family friend who recently gave birth. Well both my man and I have noticed nobody will leave her or her baby alone. I know that sounds mean but literally everyone is stopping by her house, stopping her at the store, and constantly touching the baby. Like even purposely waking the baby up because they want to see her awake. The father of the baby even stated how tired of it he is. I can totally understand family and close friends but strangers? We have discussed it and whenever we have a child we are kind of worried about the constant attention. I feel like this is kind of controversial but I feel like if it were my child I would be telling people to back off a bit. What do you guys think? Have you ever had this happen with your child?
