How to ask people not to touch my baby's cheek...

My daughter is 2 months old and since her birth I have been observing that many people who come to see her have the habit of touching her cheek. I think this is not good for my baby and I really feel irritated to see people doing this. I can clearly see on my baby's face that she is not happy.
I am confused how should I ask people not to do this. As I think if I point out directly they may feel offended.
Hey its your baby and if you are not comfortable people touching her cheek simply let them know. You cannot put your baby at risk and be polite to others. I never allow people to act like this with my kid.
I have seen people do this. Many of my friends and relatives do the same with my baby. I am very straight forward I tell them that I feel that its not right to touch the baby like this as he feels uncomfortable and also that I also don't find it right.
rano123,
I have suffered a lot coz of this.. Most visitors used to touch my daughter's face and I used to be silent. But I advice u not to let urself and ur baby suffer..
i would just not care about how to speak. if i don't like it then i will let the others know. i might put smile
on my face. but my message will be loud and clear- stay away
