🚨 Raya Baby Etiquette: Don’t Kiss. Don’t Feed. Don’t Force.
Because that dodol is not a love language
Hey, I’m Dr. Nisa!
With open house season around the corner, let’s chat about something way more important than matching family outfits...
👉 Baby boundaries.
Yup, the little ones at your cousin’s house deserve just as much respect as the adults—maybe even more. Here’s your gentle (but necessary) reminder.
✅ Ask first
✅ Wash hands
✅ Speak kindly
✅ Respect their space
🎥 Perfect if you need a friendly video reminder for That One Auntie™.
🧠 Quick Baby-Friendly Raya Tips
🙋🏽 Ask before carrying
🧼 Sanitise your hands
🤫 Keep it quiet if they’re sleeping
🪞 Don’t compare them to siblings or cousins
💁🏽♀️ Compliment their outfit, not their size
With love (and lots of baby-safe hand sanitiser),

Let’s make this Raya joyful and respectful—for the babies, for the parents, and for everyone in between.
