And this coming from someone who smoked! So before I even had the baby I let everyone know that I did not want my baby smelling like cigarettes or perfum. So anyone who came to visit had to not wear perfum or smell like cigarettes. Since it is your MIL it is a tougher situation, but my mother and one of my sisters smoke so much it is disgusting!

At the hospital with our 3rd child, they told my husband that the best thing to do was to at least change his shirt before he came back into the room with the baby.

Tell them you'd rather them take a few days off smoking if they wouldn't mind.

Your MIL is doing the right thing by smoking outside so that the baby doesn't breathe the smoke. Your MIL can hold the baby, it won't hurt and it would be cruel to deny her the right to hold her grandchild. I would get one of those plug-in air fresheners which don't sneeze at you. They give off a continuous scent which will help to mask the smell, but they don't draw attention to themselves. I would also use a furniture polish with a pleasant smell, the scent lasts for quite a while. I wish you and your family a pleasant visit together.

I don't know how the smoke on her clothes, etc would affect the baby other than make the baby's clothes smell bad after she has held him/her. I can see your concerns.

You are in a spot aren't you? Well second hand smoke is very bad! The smell that lingers on clothing...I would talk to my doctor about seriously. I know I wouldn't want to pick up my child and smell smoke on him/her! You will eventually need to say something. Sooner is better than later when you are fed up with it. Tell her the doctor said or something like that. Heck, let her son talk to her. It is his mother and his child! Oh boy, good luck! Oh geeze! You are in a spot aren’t you?

And I yes am a mom and was very overprotective, but never went that far. My husband smoked (and still does) outside and it never hurt my kids, they are now 6 and 8 and are fine. It is scary but even at stores there are people with second hand smoke etc. of course they are not holding your baby, but my point is they are exposed to it anyway and she is going outside. And she will be leaving soon, so I would just grin and bear it unless she tries to smoke inside or in the car or something. Congratulations on your baby!
