Tips on dealing with MIL

Any tips on how to tell MIL not to kiss my baby without being too offensive? This MIL we had told her through SIL but she obviously disregarded what we said to her and purposely kissed my baby on his lips. I was so disgusted by her. Out of respect (even though she was disrespectful to our wishes but I don't want to stoop to her level), I want to tell her directly not to do it during our next visit but do not want to come across as rude. Appreciate any advice! Thanks!

Maybe can say sth like that the next time.. baby jus recovered from rashes at the face area so doctor suggested all not to kiss n touch the face.. n if someone really still does it after u say.. pls take a wet wipe out n wipe straight infront of the person face to let the person know you are not happy with their action. Hinting is being nice cos we don’t want to hurt relationship but if someone still does that I believe there no mutual respect so we need to do the same as well. Baby is yours so no one can stop you from ur good intention.
