When did you become more relaxed at making people wash/sanitise their hands before holding your babies?

After 8 week jabs. I wouldn't put my baby down at playgroups or let them touch toys handled by others until they had had their polio jab and tetanus jabs. No cuddles for anyone who thinks they are ill. I had a summer baby so we did all the introductions to friends and family outside which is much easier!

Now at 18 months my toddler is a biohazard to everyone else 😷

My girls are 4.5 months (3.5 corrected) they've had all their jabs. With it being rsv and flu seasons I'm still making people sanitise their hands and definitely no kissing. Don't want to risk anything they're still so small (11lb and 12lb)
