My mother-in-law kiss my child lips

My mother-in-law (MIL) is the caregiver of my child and everytime I fetch my child home, she will give a goodbye kiss my MIL. A kiss on the cheeks is ok, but how do I tell my MIL not to kiss on the lips?

From the every beginning I have taught my baby to do flying kiss, and he doesn't kiss anyone not even on the cheek. I guess, in your case, you can tell your MIL nicely that the baby is small now, but he will grow developing the same habit, and it will not be good hygienically also if he kisses other people also on their lips. So, you guys will have to collectively work for him to give up this habit, and that you guys can begin by teaching him to either give a peck on the cheek or give a flying kiss. I am sure she will understand your concern without feeling bad.
