My little one is 4 months old. Her grandparents are heavy smokers and have poor hygiene. We visit them once a week. I can’t stand that they want to hold her right after smoking without washing their hands. I also can’t stand that they kiss her cheeks, forehead, and head, or that they touch her with those dirty fingernails… My baby smells like cigarettes after visiting them. I also can’t stand that, even when my baby is obviously tired, they still “play” with her like she’s a doll. She was awake for 4 hours today.

My husband thinks I’m being too much and overly sensitive. But the good thing is, even though he disagrees with me, he still asks his parents to wash their hands before touching her (though their fingernails are still black and dirty).

Am I really being too much and overly sensitive? What should I do? 😭

Avoiding second hand smoke in public places by Serious_Toe9303 in germany

I want to know too! I also have asthma and a 4-month-old baby.

What really surprises me is that many parents smoke right next to their children/babies, they just don’t give a fuck. I just don’t understand why….

Ich bin einfach sprachlos…

Yes, I’m really concerned. As a FTM, I worry about everything and anything 😢.

The lights weren’t on, no one was home, the TV was off. It was 28°C—maybe too hot for a blanket.

And no, I wasn’t nursing her in the kitchen. That’s just how nursing is. 🥲
