What would you do!? (Someone kisses your baby)

Hey there!

I need some advice or reassurance on this topic..

I have a 5 week old baby and yes, he is my first. I have been very selective of who gets to meet him and even more selective of who gets to hold him. I put certain boundaries in place for his health until he is a little older since he is so fresh and doesn’t have a developed immune system yet.

Always, we went to a family dinner which I was not stoked about the group setting but we went anyways. He slept for most of the time but I needed to wake him up to eat. He breastfed and then ofcourse people started to ask to hold him. Deep down I wasn’t comfortable and didn’t want to say yes but I did. As I was handing him over to my husbands aunt I said “please do not kiss him” the second it came out of my mouth what does she do? SHE KISSES HIM! 🤯🤯

Internally I lost my shit and was crawling in my skin and told her if she kisses him again “I will punch her in the face” now given I wouldn’t actually do that and everyone laughed but I wanted her to know how serious I was. The mood totally changed because we were all in complete shock that she just did that. No kissing the baby was my number one rule! She is a mother of 3 and claims she was the most protective momma bear and didn’t even let anyone hold her kids until they were 2 months old. She had a couple glasses of wine so maybe she had a brain fart?

What would you have done if this happened to you!? This happened a week ago and at this point I don’t want anyone holding him because of her. She lost my trust that she can’t respect my rules as his mother. I was already uncomfortable with people holding him just yet and then this happened and made it 10x worse.
