Scott initiated the discussion by pointing out that many parents have similar inquiries and boundaries regarding visitors, underscoring the importance of mutual respect in these early days of parenting. “Some people are dropping rules/wishes too so I’ll add what we will or have already sent out to friends and family,” she explained in one post, setting the tone for her family’s approach.

Central to their guidelines is a clear request for no unannounced visits. Alaina emphasised that while she appreciates interest from friends and family, those wishing to visit should check in first. “Once we are home, please do not stop by unannounced or plan surprise visits,” she stated. This approach aligns with many new parents’ desires to control their space and time as they adjust to life with a newborn.
The couple is also imposing restrictions on contact with their baby. Visitors are advised against holding the child unless explicitly invited. “We will offer our guests to hold our daughter when we feel comfortable,” Scott added, reiterating their desire to be in control of interactions with their infant. This cautious approach reflects a common concern among parents about the comfort and health of their newborn.
Additionally, Scott is keen on maintaining hygiene, firmly stating, “No kissing the baby anywhere – hands, feet, head, etc. no exceptions.” She has encouraged guests to wash their hands and use sanitiser before any contact. This insistence on cleanliness and health is particularly poignant in the current climate, where both infectious diseases and the welfare of infants are at the forefront of parental concerns.
Another significant rule Scott highlighted is a request for visitors who are unwell, or have recently been ill, to stay at home. This consideration not only protects the baby’s health but also contributes to a more serene atmosphere for Scott and Moeller in precarious postnatal moments. Moreover, she indicated that visitors should limit their time spent at the house, ensuring that visiting does not become overwhelming.
Alaina and Matt have opted to keep their baby’s images offline, asking family members and friends to refrain from sharing photographs on social media. “We will not be posting photos of our baby online or sharing photos with others, and have asked that this be respected,” she wrote. This decision stems from a desire to maintain control over their daughter’s image and privacy and reflects a growing trend among parents who choose to keep their children’s lives away from public scrutiny.
In her messages, Scott acknowledged that these rules may seem excessive to some. However, she is adamant about the necessity of these boundaries as a means to safeguard their wellbeing, stating, “protecting our peace, postpartum recovery, and our baby is the most important thing.” Her candidness speaks to the often-unspoken challenges new parents face in balancing the desires of loved ones with the need for personal comfort.
As Scott navigates first-time motherhood, she draws inspiration from the experiences of other mothers, noting how social media has provided a wealth of wisdom. “Many of these boundaries came from social media posts from other moms or DMs I’ve received,” she explained. This collaborative spirit aims to encourage fellow parents, stating, “If you don’t have those boundaries in place, that’s okay too.”
Alaina Scott announced her pregnancy in October, sharing an endearing photo with her husband, where they showcased a onesie with the words “Baby Moeller,” and described the profound impact of carrying a new life. “For months, I’ve carried a tiny heartbeat inside me, one that has already changed mine in every possible way,” she expressed, highlighting the transformative experience of pregnancy.
As they prepare for their new arrival, Alaina and Matt Moeller are firmly establishing the framework for their family dynamic, with the understanding that these guidelines may evolve over time. “I’m sure with our second kid things will change (maybe maybe not) but for right now these seem reasonable for us,” she concluded, emphasising the ongoing journey of parenthood.
