Message for friends and family before visiting baby
This is what I came up with.
To be completely FRANK, I don't care if this upsets anyone. Not in the least bit. I literally will piss off anyone when it comes to my babes health BUT does this sound reasonable?
I choose the word "demands" because they're not optional if you want to visit baby. Period.
Lol
Is there anything I should add before I send it out?

Friends and family,
We're slowly approaching the due date of our precious baby Noah and are very excited to share him with you all. Before the day comes, however, we do have some reasonable demands we don't feel are too much to ask for our comfort and upmost safety of our baby's fragile immune system.
We have decided to not accept visitors while in the hospital as mom will be very tired, in pain, and learning to breastfeed. It should only be a day or two at most we are there and will be using that time to adjust to our new life! We will be sure to let you know when we're home and accepting visitors.
After speaking to our doctor, this is what she suggests for safety.
Firstly, visit your doctor and simply tell them that you will be around a newborn and you need to get all the recommended shots. These include but are not limited to, the TDAP, MMR, and Flu vaccine. It is recommended that these shots be given *atleast two weeks before visiting. However, sooner the better! (We highly stress that these shots are a must to visit baby. Those sicknesses are deadly to newborns)
Secondly, if you are sick, wait a full week until you are feeling better to visit baby. If unsure or you still have a cough, wear a face mask. Thirdly, and most importantly be sure to sanitize your hands before holding the baby.
In addition, do not touch or kiss baby's face.
We hope that this doesn't come across too aggressive but are sure that you all understand and will respect our wishes.
Thank you!
