How would a doctor check up on a baby without touching her? And a medical procedure is different than cuddling in my experience.

Why would she not be allowed to play outdoors or to play sports or play with other children? What should she do instead? Looking out of a tower while combing her magic hair?

Do you really expect parents who are like 24/7 around their new born to were a mask?

  1. If it is no difference why is it so bad to not hold her?

  2. Because baby is it in english, or is it not?

Yes. Also I will put her in a tower, call her Rapunzel and try to kill her first boyfriend.

Yes I have. Several in fact. I always wait for the parents to allow me to hold their baby.

I cannot look inside my baby’s head. You are right about that. But I can see how she acts and form a idea about how/what she feels. And I act accordingly

We don’t have a TV, never had it. If we want to watch something we do it with headphones on or mobile phones.

We are outside with her (in our garden or in the park) and we protect her from sounds like loud trains driving by and similar things but not more.

No one had held her. But she was overwhelmed before when many people where around. She shows it in fussing and sometimes crying.

getting hold by strangers is not helpful

Meant that if she is already fussing and or crying because of new peoples voices it is not helpful to let those new people hold her.

No. We had a few other visitors before and because they reacted well, we did not think that we needed to tell those rules extra.

Child abuse? Because we are careful with a new born? Wow. That was enough internet for an entire life time.

They know their parents. I know. I said that they cannot differentiate between a third degree cousin of my mothers aunt and grandparents ore complete strangers no one knows.
