[blparent] passing the baby

[Veronica Smith]

I really didn't like strangers holding my baby, but when we went to a family
thing, everyone wanted to hold Gab and passed around she went.  But they
were family members, if the room was full of strangers, I probably would of
said, not right now.

Hi all,
I had a question and wondered if you could help.

My 23yo daughter just married on 4/1 .
We were elated and like the man she married.
My husband and I took our 4mo baby boy.
Everyone wanted to hole him.
the problem was that someone would come and talk to us and  the holder would
pass the baby to someone else, then to someone else and I did not know
"where" the baby was or "who "  had him. This is annoying for me. I would
have to continuously ask sighted people around me: "Who has the baby,"
"Where is the baby?"
 Before, when I had my little ones, I would just make them off limits to
others because:
when they were babies, we did not go out much and when we did, I wanted to
know where they were, etc. when people asked to hold my little ones, I would
just decline because it just seemed too hectic and chaotic. But, does anyone
have any suggestions to make it easier without just saying "no?"

Thanks.
