My two month old is about to be Christened this weekend. We are having a pretty big gathering for this, and I know everyone will want to hold her. However, she's recently gotten over being sick and I am trying to be very careful about germs, because of her young age. I've not been taking her out this past week, encouraging her to nap more, etc. I can't move the date of the Christening because we have relatives that have already flown in, but I would like to politely put a limit on her being passed from person to person. This is so hard...I know everyone wants to hold the baby at a Christening, and rightly so!!
Is it rude of me to gently discourage this, by saying that she's just gotten over being sick and the doctor would prefer her not be passed around to many people (that's a stretch, but I thought it sounded good)? Would you be insulted if I said that to you, or does it sound reasonable? As a first time mom I worry so much about her getting sick in her first few months.
