New mom's epic way of setting boundaries for people visiting her baby is already a hit among parents

Among the myriads of responsibilities that new parents face, handling visitors who care the least to respect boundaries stresses them the most. Right from offering unsolicited advice to being negligent when it comes to hygiene, some visitors drive the parents of newborns up the wall. To prevent such a stressful situation, new mother Jennifer Chang, a popular makeup and skin care content creator on Instagram shared a set of ground rules that are so relatable. Helping out the parents of newborns who are hesitant to communicate the boundaries, Chang's video is winning hearts online.

Chang dedicated her video to the soon-to-be-parents who wish to prioritize their peace of mind with solid boundaries that would keep annoying visitors away. Sharing the brilliant idea that worked well for her, Chang said, "Personally, I treated it like my baby was having a concert and you are going to get tickets." The ticket in the background read, "Lucas! Stadium dates & tickets," and was followed by when the visitors can have access to the newborn and the rules they had to keep in mind. Since Chang wanted a "newborn bubble" for the first four weeks -which she referred to as "Exclusivity Leg Arrival," she made it clear that there were "no tickets available" during that period.

However, the new mom gave a chance for visitors to come to say "Hi!" through the porch or the window giving the privacy that the new parents most needed. Chang pointed out that weeks 5 to 12, though were considered an "Early Bird" period, allowed some visitors but not without some critical guidelines. "If you wanted to come but you don't want to hold my baby, you don't have to wear masks," said Chang. The rulebook also mentioned that people with "VIP tickets" who wanted to hold the baby had to wear an N95 or KN95 mask. The new parents made sure that the visitors were above the age of 21, would never kiss the baby and had the most-updated Flu and Covid-19 vaccines. 

The visitors were also expected to reschedule the visit if they had any kind of illness. The new mom was totally against getting her baby exposed to unhygienic conditions. She also made it a point that no visitors would be allowed to hold Lucas if he was feeling fussy and added, "We're not going to wake him if you come over. That's not happening." The ticket had a note at the bottom that said, "Subsequent stadium dates and ticket details to be released at a later date."  Also, the new parents were to be contacted to obtain the ticket and they notified about their liberty to change the ticket availability and the ground rules. Chang's smart way of setting boundaries worked out well among her family members and friends who respected the new mom's privacy. 

"It's an inform, not a discussion. Your baby your rules," Chang's caption read. This hilarious yet brilliant communication of boundaries impressed many online. "Wish I would've done this! We let the family over after just 1 week. Everything was so overwhelming and postpartum hormonal changes got me so bad. I cried a lot. If I could redo, I wouldn't let people over for at least 2 months," commented @its_me_jennnnn. "Just had a baby late last year. Just got comfortable with family being around him at 12-14 weeks. I would definitely implement this for the next baby because there were people who did not know how to act," wrote @that_katiegirl. "Okay, why do I love this idea so much? Unique yet makes it fun," wrote @mslibbyaudrey.
