Baby is just over 2 weeks. My DD developed a coldsore a day or two before he was born. Midwife and GP warned us to be very careful of him catching it from her as it can be fatal as apparently newborns are very vulnerable to this virus until they are over 6 weeks. Queue an week and more of anti viral handwash and lots of supervision. We were also told and googled that apparently people shed tge virus all the time so no one apart from mum and dad should be kissing baby to minimise the risk. I had no idea but heeded this info and told my mum amongst other peoplw not to kiss him until older...
Vent alert: My mum constantly causes dramas with me and offers no help or support. Despite living 5 minutes walk away and being retired she has never once looked after my other kids, cooked a meal, helped in ANY way since I had the baby and before. I don't expect her to as she's always been this way. My partner works away and so I'm on my own. She let herself in at 9pm last night wanting to cuddle baby. Got very sarcastic and rude about not kissing him. Did the same tonight and kissed him defiantly and was incredibly rude and sarcastic when I asked her why she had gone against my wishes! She then helped herself to some food off my daughters dinner plate, by hand, without asking my daughter and left the house as cool as anything saying "don't worry, I wont kiss any of you goodbye " and left.
I'm so upset.
AIBU at least for the kiss?
