I don’t want anyone to touch my baby

Tamara

So I’m not overly worried about germs and stuff, most everyone washes or sanitizes their hands when they touch him, plus it’s good for his immunity, BUT I hate letting other people hold and bond with him. I also hate when other people call him their little guy, he’s mine. I feel like something is wrong with me for feeling this way. It’s everyone too, including his grandparents.

What’s really frustrating is I’ll be over at their house and it’s bedtime and at their house they only have a swing; so I’ll put him in there and everyone will watch him sleep and if he makes even the smallest stir like he’s awake they’ll stimulate him awake and of course he’s awake. And I know it’s Bc they just want to hold him and at times I feel bad that we went over there at 630 and he’s gotta eat and then go to sleep at 8. I just don’t know if this is a normal feeling or how to make it better. I just feel like no one can take care of him like I do- on top of that I do need breaks but I should be allowed to dictate when those breaks are right?
