When you have a baby, it seems like everyone wants to hold them. Friends, family members, and even strangers all want to get their hands on your new little one. While it's certainly flattering that people are so interested in your baby, you don't always have to say yes when someone offers to hold them. In fact, there are times when it's perfectly ok to say no. If you're not comfortable with someone holding your baby, or if you just don't feel like giving them up for a while, don't be afraid to speak up!
Here are a few times when it's ok to say no to someone holding your baby:
The bottom line is that it's ok to say no to someone holding your baby if you're not comfortable with it. You know your baby best, and you should always do what feels right for both of you. Saying no doesn't have to be rude or ungrateful. Just explain simply and straightforwardly that you're not comfortable - most people will understand - or if that feels uncomfortable, just make a polite excuse. You can always say that they're due for a feed or sleep, or say that you aren't letting anyone hold them until a certain amount of weeks or vaccinations. Remember, it's your baby and you have the right to make decisions about who holds them! As long as you're honest with yourself and others about why you're saying no, there's no reason to feel guilty or uncomfortable. Remember that your baby is precious and deserves the best possible care - which includes being in the arms of those who love them most. Hold your ground mama - you'll never regret loving your baby!
