I'm really not wanting to stoke the fire of controversy in regards to vaccinations, but this has been preying on my mind lately and would like to hear others' opinions.

Would you allow a non-vaccinated (or mostly unvaccinated) child around your newborn? What if that child is your niece or nephew that you will only see during the first two months of your baby's life and probably not after that for at least three or four years?

My husband thinks I'm being overly paranoid about my worries and is ashamed I would even consider bringing up this topic with his family who will most likely be housing us for two months while we wait for our baby's passport and UK visa to be processed. We will be staying with his parents but his brother's family lives five minutes away and will be around often. I feel like my first priority should be to our future baby's health and safety. Despite the extremely low odds of our non-vaccinated niece being exposed to something and therefore passing it onto our newborn, if something *were* to happen, I don't think I would ever forgive myself for giving in to my husband when I had my doubts.

Am I being too paranoid? Do you think this is a topic worth bringing up even though it will definitely cause strife in the family? I really don't know which way to go in this situation. My entire in law family are very strongly opinionated and stubborn and I may end up getting my way in the end but it will bring lots of bad blood into a situation that should be full of love and grandparent bonding. I honestly am not sure if it will be worth it since we will be *living* with them the entire time. Luckily, we have months before we have to make a decision, but that honestly doesn't make this situation any easier. Any advice?
