Is it normal to not want to share your baby?
Depends.It depends
Yes, it’s normal to want to keep your baby close or be selective about who holds them, visits, or sees photos. You can set boundaries without having to justify them.
A lot of parents feel protective, especially when their baby is very new, they’re tired, or they’re still adjusting. “Sharing” can mean anything from handing the baby to a relative to posting pictures online, and you get to decide what you’re comfortable with.
Some parents love passing the baby around; others prefer short visits or no holding for a while. Neither makes you selfish. If the fear of letting anyone else help feels overwhelming or is making daily life really hard, it may be worth talking with a trusted health professional.
