Na person wey no get pikin this one go dey vex. I have never visited a new born baby empty handed.. And as much as I love giving, there are plenty of times that I had to use my last card in buying diapers and clothes... If these rules would stop me from visiting... I'll gladly pocket my money and enjoy my day with my own children. Better still, use the money in buying Hollandia for my kids. We'll be watching "Baby Shark" or "Paw Patrol" while sipping the yoghurt. Simple! 2 Likes |

There're some things every sane person is expected to know. I don't touch people's children. Even if I must it depends on the body language of the parents or my relationship with the person. Most importantly I don't roll with hostile or toxic people.....Apart from my siblings I don't get too close to anybody. 1 Like |

As a Medical Scientist, I'd advise you never to let anyone kiss your baby. Many people are stuck Oral herpes that re-occur on their lips forever even till their Adult age, because they were kissed as babies by people infected with the disease. 1 Like |

WELCOME — WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE! 1. We’re truly excited to have you visit and share in the joy of welcoming our little one. To help us keep the baby safe, healthy, and happy, we kindly ask for your support with a few simple guidelines. Your thoughtfulness means so much to us. 2. Please help us keep things germ-free by using the hand sanitizer at the door. We want those tiny hands to stay healthy and smiling. 3. As tempting as those chubby cheeks may be, we’re trying to limit unnecessary touching. Your understanding helps more than you know. 4. Our baby’s name is IREWAMIRI—we’d love for you to use the full name. 5. We’d be grateful if you could avoid kissing the baby on the cheeks or mouth. It’s just one of the small ways we’re keeping the little one safe. 6. When you talk to the baby, a calm, clear, natural voice is perfect. It helps the baby learn regular speech patterns. 7. We truly appreciate all the advice and support! We’re fortunate to have a great circle around us. For now, let’s keep conversations positive, light, and encouraging. 8. And, if possible, please avoid shaking the baby’s hands or touching their ears. Little gestures go a long way in keeping the baby comfortable. Thank you so much for your kindness and cooperation. Your presence brings us joy, and we can’t wait for you to share in the beautiful memories ahead. |

TechBaron:Continue giving gifts, especially to new mamas, you never know how much it means, and yeah these rules are what I explicitly told my mother In law and my mum, everyone who came to visit, the rules are meant to protect tje baby who has near zero immune system strength. People carry lots of diseases and germs, you don't want someone with bleeding gums kissing your baby either on the cheeks or mouth, some with dirty hands holding your baby's hands and then your baby sucks on those hands, no one wants to return to the hospital they barely left. 1 Like |

This actually reminds me of a young Muslim couple I met some time ago in a hospital here in Lagos. Someone I knew—my tenant, actually—had just put to bed, and I went to visit her at the hospital. It was there that I met the young Muslim couple. The wife had also just been delivered of a baby that same day. All of a sudden, I saw the husband holding the very fragile baby in his hands, reciting some Islamic verses while chewing something in his mouth and then passing that substance to the newborn in a mouth-to-mouth kiss! Just a few hours later, the baby developed a very high fever. The young couple was in a panic; the wife was already crying, and the husband was pacing aimlessly up and down—terrified. Doctors were called in, and the baby was taken away for treatment. I stood up and walked over to the man. I asked if he knew that he was responsible for the sudden high fever their newborn had developed. He was shocked and asked me how. I told him plainly: the mouth-to-mouth ritual he performed on the baby. I asked what exactly he had transferred from his own mouth into the baby’s mouth. He explained that it was Dabinu—dates—and that the practice was a "suna Anobi" — sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. The baby could have died; thank God the doctors saved his life. I therefore don’t blame these new parents. 1 Like |
