A video of a young mother denying her newborn a kiss from her grandmother has gone viral on TikTok.
There has always been a debate whether it is advisable or not to kiss newborn children because, on the one hand, there is the desire of many relatives, especially grandparents, to "caress" the child, on the other hand, parents' concerns about with many viruses spread by contact with adults.
For this reason, new mother Devon Stephen shared a video on social networks in which the baby's grandmother asks " Can I kiss the baby on the head ?" and then adds " I won't, I'm just asking. "
While the young mother answers: If your face comes close to hers I will take it.

The video has amassed a total of 8.7 million views, with comments from many parents who, especially during flu season, take measures to protect their children's fragile immune systems.
Her message, which first advocates healthy boundaries, even when it means saying "no" to loved ones, highlights a growing trend in parenting. As health worker Jessica Acciacca says, "Parents have the right to make this request to protect their vulnerable little ones, even if it's difficult for family members to understand."
