[quote=Anonymous]I am due with my third child in 8 weeks. My older two children are 2 and 4 and currently attend full day daycare and have throughout the pandemic since my DH and I work in roles that required in person attendance. I was at my 4 year old’s well visit last week and our pediatrician who we have used since her birth asked when we were removing the kids from a congregate care setting to “quarantine” before the baby’s birth. She then advised they don’t return until after flu season/ possible covid rise in the winter to protect the baby due to the lack of pediatric vaccines. We have loved this doctor but over the past year she seems to practice more out of paranoia then realizing many of us take calculated risks because we have to support our family. I hate to think of finding a new doctor as we hit the homestretch of pregnancy, but I really don’t want to get a guilt trip/ lecture at every visit. I told her at the appointment that we planned on keeping our other girls in daycare to keep them on a schedule and give them a sense of normalcy. She replied that she disagreed with my decision and I was placing my soon to be born baby at risk. She also advises that the girls be masked around the baby and no outside help (my parents) even if they have been (and are!) vaccinated. Before I start looking for a different doctor, are other DMV pediatricians suggesting the same thing? [/quote]
