[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you also shield your child from fireplaces, grills, auto exhaust, and do not take her with you to the gas station.

You seem a little neurotic. I understand that you have a premie and I understand that she is extra-fragile at this point, however, you don't need to be cruel and have a little compassion for your weak mil. Washing hands, no smoking on way to your house, brushing teeth, blanket between her and baby are the limits if what you can ask -- unless you would rather just skype with her for the time being.

On the bright, though morbid side, you may not need to worry about her for too long.[/quote]

You obviously have never had a preemie. Speak when you know what you are talking about. [/quote]

She is not being neurotic at all!!! She has a premie, it's flu season and she has a MIL who is a smoker and doesn't listen to doctors. I feel for you op! You need to look out for your child. At the very least take dh with you to the pediatrician so you are both on the same page. Congrats on your new baby! Mom to 34 week twins who are now 12 with a MIL who still is mad at me that I made her wash her hands every time she walked in the door :). Do what's best for the baby -- that's most important![/quote]
