So this is a question for moms who will be vaccinating your children. Are you going to make people be up to date on their shots, particularly the TDAP (for whooping cough), before you let them spend time with your baby? I want to make it a rule, but I'm not sure how to enforce it, or how to tell people about the rule and not have them blow me off or tell me I'm being crazy.
I'd make them show me proof if I suspected they were lying to me lol but that's just me. I wouldn't care if they got mad at me. My baby is more important than other people's opinions of me 😋 right :)
@_stephanie.g, I already got it, and my husband got his like 6 months ago. but I don't want anyone around my baby who has no immune system, unless they have had their vaccines. I mean, tdap lasts like 5-10 years, so I feel like it's not that much to ask. @jasholbert yeah, I'm worried about people just saying they have had their shots so they can hold him, when they haven't or don't know.
I just texted every body important and said "hey make sure you get you D tap 3 months prior to my due date so that Bear won't be exposed to whooping cough." I also posted on Facebook how important vaccinations are to keep my baby safe. Nobody has argued with me about it. My family went out and got their D tap literally the same week I told them. It's a free vaccination.
I'm definitely making my husband get t and I really want everyone who visits in the hospital to get it but I'm not sure how to go about it because I mean they can always lie and all.
I'm going to my kids doctors tomorrow to make sure they have it & my boyfriend will be getting it as well just us because we'll be surrounding the baby 24/7 others like my mom & sister ect can wash their hands.. Since they won't be with the baby as much as we will. @maybabyboy
if they aren't up to date, they can't hold baby. they can visit and see baby but if I so much as hear a sniffle.. bye Felicia
