Pressure to let loved ones hold your baby is weighing heavily on pandemic parents this year.
Maybe your plans were canceled and they are upset they won’t see the baby in person.
Maybe your gathering with a small group, but loved ones don’t want to social distance from your baby.
Maybe you are with loved ones, but you need to feed your baby and have to navigate asking for the baby back...
The possibilities this year abound, but the pressures are the same. Whether in person or virtual, establishing healthy family boundaries in the newborn period may cause some conflict, but ultimately is so important. Loved ones can’t know or respect your boundaries if you never tell them what they are!
So, how are you handling this? What are you doing with family today? #babyexpert #parentingtips;#parentingadvice
