[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a newborn currently, but when DS was born at 32 weeks, he received a vaccine for RSV for preemies.

I'm not sure why it's not given out to all newborns, maybe you can ask your pediatrician.

Also, clinical studies have just shown that a new vaccine given to pregnant mothers protects their newborns against RSV. It's not available right now, but it's something to follow.

My premature twins received the shot but we still had to stay isolated. One child was a micro preemie. To this day, I detest and still have anger towards the idiots who were mad we didn't take our kids out or allow grandma to take them to her grandma shower. [/quote]

You have anger issues and I’m grateful you’re not in my family! Yes of course people who don’t have preemies during a scary illness season are not going to fully comprehend what you’re going through or how you feel about it. Move the eff on. They sure as heck have. [/quote]

NP- you obviously have reading comprehension issues. PP isn't talking about people with full term infants, she's talking about how people expected her to take out her preemies. [/quote]

Not just take them out but let grandma take them to a large party and pass them around despite being on monitors and around the clock medicines and grandma didn't want us there. I was criticized by people I barely knew and we could not step out of our house with random people trying to not just touch my kids, but pick them up. More than one stranger would ignore me when I told them to not touch my kid. I had one woman start to pick up my kid and tell me I didn't know what I was doing that the kid would be fine with her. I had near strangers arguing with me who wanted to hold my children. I couldn't go out in public without people trying to pick up my infants. My kids had to see all kinds of specialists and the doctors knew to move me into a room immediately or even a storage room.

Anyone who attacks a new mom with medically fragile children belongs in hell.[/quote]
