My Biggest Mistake: People Touching My Baby

Having a baby is the most life changing experience!! This new little human has made you so incredibly happy, and you want to share her with everyone!

Everyone loves a baby, but unfortunately, they also like to kiss and touch your baby.

When you have a new baby, everyone wants to hold her!

My Biggest Mistake: People Touching My Baby

On a recent trip home, I was overjoyed to introduce our new baby to everyone…and everyone was excited to hold her. Our baby must have crossed 30 sets of hands, with who knows what germs, resulting in a sick 11 week old.

My husband got so paranoid, he made a sign that read “Do not touch!!” and attached it to our baby’s crib!

Maybe that’s going too far, maybe it’s not.

The problem is, you are so excited about your new baby, you forget their immune systems can only handle so much. You can’t avoid the occasional random person touching your baby, but you can help to limit their exposure.

Imagine if people were touching your face all day? YUCK!

Don’t be afraid to ask people to wash their hands and keep wipes and hand sanitizer close by.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
