[quote=Anonymous]Wow!! Don't know how my generation managed to raise our kids to adulthood! My daughter is 46; she went to the grocery with me when she was two weeks old (my family did have to eat). I breastfed for five months, and she never even had a cold until she was 18 months old. Neither she nor the children of anyone I have known for the last 50 years ever got whooping cough! Of course, we actually got our kids vaccinated against whatever we could as soon as we could, and of course we washed our hands for the first couple of months.

What are young mothers who have to go back to work at 6 weeks--of necessity putting their children in daycare--going to do??? (And yes, I think a 6-week maternity leave is a crime against nature.) How do young mothers grocery shop? Go to the doctor? Go to church?Take their babies for a walk?  I can see being careful with a preemie or an otherwise fragile baby, but really--I would think that strep, for example, would be much more prevalent and much more dangerous than whooping cough to most babies!
