[quote=Anonymous]Our DC is due in October.  In addition to my generalist OB, we've seen two perinatologists about possible growth restriction (apparent DC is just constitutionally small, thank goodness, and will be born hopefully full term but very tiny, which is rather odd since none of us are tiny or were tiny babies).  In any event, DH is insistent we travel to upstate NY for Thanksgiving to see his family (about 7 hours from where we live without traffic) when DC will be approximately 7 weeks old (assuming he goes full term).  While I don't think driving 7 hours with a 7 week old is ideal under any circumstances, I've given in.  We will be staying with and in close quarters with about 15 people, two of whom are 11 and 12 year old boys.  I'm not sure if they get flu shots or not, but our DC will only be 7 weeks and will not have received his flu shots yet.  Am I out of line to be stressing this?  Should I push the ped to give the flu shots early?  I'm just concerned given that our DC will already be so tiny.  Thoughts?[/quote]
