The unnamed mother sent the list of rules to her friends and family to follow before and when meeting the newborn.
Although some of the rules, like not touching the baby or being vaccinated, seemed reasonable, some social media users felt certain rules were absurd.
Here are the eight rules:
1. The birth and baby’s name will not be announced.
2. Only people who have checked in with the couple since the pregnancy announcement will be notified of the birth.
3. No photos of the baby will be shared on social media, adding that no pictures will be taken of the baby.

4. No visitors will be allowed at the hospital or home for the first two weeks. Also, no calls or text messages.
5. Anyone who meets the baby should be vaccinated.
6. No kissing the baby’s face or touching her.
7. No one is to smell of cigarettes or wear cologne/perfume that is too strong when meeting the baby.
8. Don’t expect to be hosted when visiting the baby. Visitors must bring their own snacks and drinks.
