I am incredibly stressed about who can hold my baby the first day he is born. Should anyone?

👩🏻

I know this is semi controversial and I have no idea what to do. I am inducing and my husband told his parents so of course they’re coming down and bringing their three children the day of. I have 8 people in my immediate family (mom, Dad, grandparents, sister, niece and nephew, brother in law) who live in the same town and will of course be there in the hospital. My husbands family will want to hold my baby the first or second day, and I don’t think they should! I don’t love his family and I don’t want a bunch of people holding him at all, not even for a second! What should I do? Is this right? Will my baby be okay if they hold him? Help!
