To feel uncomfortable when fil interacts with my ds?

I'm not even sure what it is that makes me uneasy about the way fil interacts with my 5 month baby, it's just a sensation I get. It just creeps me out. The weird thing is that I don't dislike the man or anything but for some reason I don't like him kissing or holding my baby. Has this ever happened to any of you? Am I just being very over protective and irrational?

I had this but with my MIL- boiled down to the fact that I thought she wanted to steal my dd. It boiled down to my personal experiences of loss (my father died at 51, and I suffered 2 mc) and I ended up breaking down because I was in an awful position as I knew I was being irrational. YANBU because it is a mothers insinct to protect. I ended up speaking to my GP, who gave my some anti-anxiety tablets which stopped the panic attacks but I ma now seeing a therapist who is helping me and I have to say I am completely at ease with my MIL- a woman who I wished dead at times when I was at my peak. It will get better but you need to be open and honest about it whether it be just to the GP or your DP x
