How do y’all say no to people wanting to hold your baby?

Question

I’m about to go to a large Thanksgiving event with a 5 month old 🤣 I just want to baby wear and know people will make comments or ask to hold him. How do y’all say no? (Im a push over so I’ll never say anything super direct lol)
Also if you have postpartum anxiety how did you get over it?

Answer

I mean, if it’s something you feeling strongly about put your put girl pants on and say no. I personally would be happy to have a break. I love letting family hold my baby.

Answer

Well, a carrier or wrap is your first line of defense. Can’t hold the baby if they’re already strapped in. 
The second thing is to just firmly advocate. Say no, not today, we aren’t passing baby around.

Answer

Man i LOVE big gatherings because other people are around to hold my baby for me. Just let me know if she’s hungry or needs a change 😅😅
But yea, just put your foot down and say no,
Im holding her. Youre the mom, what you say goes 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

Wear baby and just say no. If you make some half assed excuse pushy family will see though it and push around it. If you dont want people holding baby, just say sorry but not today, with the big event we are not passing baby to people. Word of advice is if you accept you are a pushover, especially as a parent, you should expect to just be pushed over. You don't have to be mean or rude, but you need to be able to stand you ground

Answer
