To have to tell someone

[FairyDust92]

Not to reach in and touch my child! Happened yesterday and my son is 10 weeks we were out for lunch and the waiter bent down and stroked his face! I said 'please do not touch my child' she then continued to touch his legs so I said again 'don't touch my child'. She actually took offence to this but I don't think I should have to tell people not to touch him. I don't know who she is or where she has been and to touch his bloody face! Wtf. Maybe I am over reacting but I cannot stand people touching him that I don't know. What comes over them to think they can stroke someone else's baby... it's bloody weird! 🤬

shoes certainly when it came to using the toilet! But not so much about animals, their dc were often post or mid pony & randomly around dogs etc when they touched dd. As were they.

However I apologise for having misread the age, I thought you'd said 6 weeks not 6 days, when in fairness any grubby hands were kept away from her face. Admittedly dd had contact with animals at that age but I wouldn't state as a rule that all babies should be equally immune at 6 days old, or to random animals rather than those owned by the parent.
