how does everyone else deal with getting people to get whooping cough vaccinated? do you ask everyone that's going to be in contact with baby to get one? i do feel bad for asking people to get one but at the same time I need to protect my baby an if someone wasn't vaccinated and I let them near him an he got sick I'd never forgive myself.
but then I worry what about extended people like doctors an nurses etc just other general people. i can't wrap bub in cotton wool until he's old enough to get injection himself. ugh just wondering where everyone else stands on this sub?
That's a good idea. Yeah I know, it sucks. She had chemo and radiation the first time but this time she's being treated by a homeopath. She's been on his treatment for a year and a half and still here so I'm praying it's working and she will be with is for a long time. I don't know what I'd do without my mum
@carlyanaya, thankyou I've decided to just ask people that r going to be around bub alot to get it and everyone else sanitiser.
also I'm so sorry to hear about your mum I know what it's like to go through that :( <3
I didn't ask my family and friends but until baby had his first vaccinations I made everyone wash their hands before handling him and no one saw him if they were slightly sick or getting over an illness etc. a friend of mine put a post on Facebook saying no one would be able to see the baby unless they got a vaccination for whooping cough. It was hard for me as my mum is really anti vacc and has been through cancer treatment and currently is going through it again so I didn't want to pressure her. I just made sure everyone washed their hands like a maniac!!
when I thought about it more that's exactly what I thought thanks @kayleighandcharlotte
It's not the cheapest needle to get and your friends might only come visit for a couple hours max, I wouldn't stress over that. Just immediate family that will be around him really often for the first 7 weeks :)
yeah that's what I'm thinking I'll just keep it to people I know r going to be close for first few weeks until he can get his injections
My boyfriend and his parents got it done because they're the only ones who have constant contact with her. Any other friends or family I said were fine because most of them have had it recently due to other babies being born in the family. And just that if any had been sick in any way, I didn't want them visiting until they were completely better.
do you go as far as getting friends to get it to? the close ones that u know will want to be around bub
:( it's not nice at all really wish they would finally bring something out that that kills cancer! the amount of people that had had it or have got it is absolutely ridiculous. just try keep positive Hun I no thats alot easier said than done. i hope it's working for her and she will be here for many yrs to come I know someone that had it all threw there body he was very very close to not being here and he's been in remission now for about 3 yrs and still going strong. so it's not always the worst outcome. <3 <3
